Canadian here, I did a delivery to an aircraft hanger today, and the recipient turned out to be a retired CF-18 pilot. Coolest guy I've ever met, and he gave me a tour of his 2 Cessna Citations he charters to uber rich people.

best work day ever.

Thats how carrier operations work. Ruskies could learn a little lesson after losing 20% of their aircraft to accidents when they deployed to the med a couple months ago.

The dude that made this video was one of my WSOs back in VFA-102. Small world. Also I fucking hated that diamondback pattern design because I had to stencil it back in my stint there. The 60th anniversary one was even worse.

What can a Navyfag fly that is almost exclusively shore dooty?

>>32724381

P-3 or P-8 and some helo units

>>32723470

i'm surprised you guys got kinematic flares already.

>>32724397
>>32724381

i'm sure the C-2 is a pretty much shore gig since you do resupply. the E-6 is also a shore gig but it's not a jet you spend your life flying.

>>32724934

I just ask because my girl is in school and I got picked up for NFO. I did a few deployments and they were hard on us and want to stay on shore.

Though the allure of super hornet/35 is there, I don't even know if my body can handle the g-force.

You should be thrown out of a plane

>>32725393
P-3/P-8 since you're a double anchor to-be. enjoy the music when you do your flight suit swim test, and give Cougar at the P'cola O club a big tip.

you'll still be gone a decent amount. you'll just never live on a boat again unless you want to.

In other news, did a few forward operating base sorties to practice road landings a couple days back. Paddles stands out 500 feet down the surface and jogs out of the way as you roll through. Pic related

Got to see an F-22 demo at an air show at Offutt AFB a few years ago; what honestly impressed me the most was the low-speed pass. Thing was crawling, incredible nose-up attitude, and still seemed very controllable. Thrust vectoring is a hell of a drug.

No real method to my dump btw, so prepare for anything spanning warbirds, modern props, jets, etc.

>>32725906

cool. i'm a WSO at SJ. any idea why Giant Killer and Cherry don't like to talk to each other? we've closed the Burner with one agency and then the other gives us stupid vectors to deconflict from an airspace that we were the MARSA authority for and closed like 6-9 minutes ago.

>>32725990

also are those -9X's? do you guys do rolling or vertical landings more?

>>32725990

Giant Killer is Navy, frankly, it's one of the sillier systems I've flown in, should be more streamlined. Having to give them the whole spiel every time we work 8-9-10 when it's right in our backyard is stupid. Also, keep in mind we do a lot of controller training at NKT, you've probably had some sporty PARs, I know I have.

RVLs are pretty standard. We'll throw in a VL whenever we have extra gas to practice.

We have 7 NATOPS ways to land the jet, so we have to keep current on all of them. Pattern hops turn into kind of a circus.

>>32726073
>>32726107

is the fat bearded Royal Navy dude still there? he seemed like a character.

yeah we tend to use 1-7 a lot. we had a LFE there yesterday that i was a part of. "surface to unlimited concurrent in areas 1-7, frequency change approved, contact five minutes prior, blah blah blah." at least we have 10-15 minutes of droning out/doing admin work.

still have yet to fly a PAR ever, but we used Righteous for GCI yesterday. they did a decent job, but they called a lot of pictures on dead men because we didn't communicate well who was alive and dead to them. SA-draining.

7 ways? jesus. mind listing them?

Heh, Casper is actually over in the training command now, VT-9 out in Meridian.

Lets see, you've got:

Conventional - Nozzles aft, flaps auto
Auto Flap Variable - Throttle fixed 85%, nozzles as required
Auto Flap Fixed - Nozzles set 50, throttle asreq
STOL Flap Variable - Throttle fixed 95%, nozzles asreq
STOL Fixed - Nozzles set 60, throttle asreq
Rolling Vert - Nozzles 60-72, target 60kt groundspeed on touchdown
Vertical - self explanatory.

For take offs we can:

Short Takeoff (STO)
Rolling Vertical Takeoff
Vertical Takeoff
Conventional

>>32726228

passed through Meridian on my way back from Columbus for IFF (the "this is the basics of BFM/surface attack with dumb bombs" course for the AF). it seemed like a town that boomed, busted, and was prime for a bunch of hipsters to take over downtown.

plus night versions of all that... your landing currencies must be a nightmare. we literally have to maintain precision approach and night landing currencies. that's it. and we let them expire because who wants to fly an ILS when you can come up initial and land with minimal disruption to everyone's day/have an awesome 4-ship split? though i did end up flying the TACAN approach for the first time since the "this how you turn on a F-15E" rides of the B-course (our RAG equivalent) this week.

anything decent out in New Bern/wherever you spend your weekends? when's 14L/32R gonna be open with the cable strung? and next time you brief the NOTAMS, you can say that the GSB TACAN actually kinda works, it's just unmonitored because we're finally getting around to fixing it after the flood. the DO of the OSS basically has an aneurysm everytime he hears it's NOTAM'd out.

>>32726305

You got the read on Meridian pretty much shacked. Glad to be out of there, although T-45s were a blast.

New Bern is decent, a little slow for single people. Just a quaint little town.

14L/32R has no timeline as far as I know. Apparently the contractors fucked up the grooving and now they have to redo the entire thing, the crumbling concrete is a huge FOD hazard for us

Good to know on GSB, but we pretty much just use you guys as a divert. Apparently the AF is not fond of us coming over to practice approaches, so we used Wilmington and Oceana primarily. Always cool to see you guys rocking that section approach overhead though

>>32726481

yeah we radar map the NKT tower all the time. i've had a few friends divert to Cherry including for homeplate WX below our approach categories (we can't fly approaches to published mins because Air Combat Command has to cater to Viper drivers who screw it up for the rest of us... even our experienced guys are cleared down to 300' mins.)

i'll be shooting USPSA in Greenville next weekend. dude... if you can't make it out to RDU, the level of talent in Greenville's pretty decent. much better than the "i'm 27 and getting my beautician's license so i can support my 3 kids" tinder girls that you get in the area.

>>32726532

Good to know, I'd love to make it out to RDU and hunt some Duke law students, but it's a little far of a drive and they keep us pretty slammed in the RAG.

If you guys ever get stuck in NKT, come on over to the 203 hanger, it ain't air force digs but we can offer a place to chill. Maybe a beer out in town or something.

>>32726799

no kidding i met my girlfriend out here while in the B-course. she got her PhD at UNC. but yeah, i remember the days and days and days and days and night and nights and nights and nights of studying all that stuff that i need to review again...

and yeah, will do assuming we don't have to worry about bottle to throttle. ours is a bit less restrictive than yours, though - based on takeoff time, not brief time. i've seen P-3s come do approaches at GSB so if you just hit up the ILS and get out and it's not when the entire fleet's coming back/the NAOC ramp's being used for its intended purpose, i'm sure RAPCON can work you in. there's not much in Goldsboro but the downtown is less terrible lately if you do diver though. and if you're here in September, the Battle of Britain party is fun. we set pianos on fire and there's free beer. i always see a few Harrier dudes.

i still think Pensacola and Nellis are the bases i've been at with the most random planes on the ramp... there was a F-35B that did approaches at P'cola, you'd see Harriers, BUFFs, B-1s, the Blues, F-15E's, Ospreys (those are a mindfuck to see in the pattern), C-130s galore there too as both the AF and Navy tried to tempt students to fly that jet...

Maintenance isn't bad at all actually. An average middle-class family father can keep one maintained.
The only really pricy maintenance is engine overhaul.
But the TTOH is so long, that you could probably save up for it. Maybe.

>>32728165

i know quite a few FAIPs in NC who wouldn't mind getting another T-6 ride under their belt without a student trying to kill them.

>>32728815
F-18 or a T-38

>>32724934
C-2s do deploy and follow the carrier around.

>>32724959
They have no WSO spots really. And few aircraft.

>>32725393
F-35 has no NFO opportunities. Your options as an NFO are P-3/P-8, EA-18G, FA-18F or E-6 mercury. For shore, P-8 is the way to go.

>>32728863

yeah he didn't say he was gonna be a NFO until later. limits your options, really. i didn't think they had E-6 NFOs... is it a "go fly this for a few years" gig like for the single anchors?
