Hi JEFX, Congrats on getting your PPL! :thumbup: and thanks for the kind words on the checklist. :book: I too over the years, have had moments of weakness, and strayed from the Hawg… always to come back with even greater respect for her. :pilotfly:

From another forum: "Not sure if you're looking for an origin of the word, or what it implies. I don't really know why the word BINGO is used, but it holds a very important meaning in military aviation. In general, its a pre-briefed amount of fuel that, when reached, you need to go home. For example, in the hornet world, we typically will brief a 3500lb bingo (VFR), giving us 1500 lbs to get home, and 2000 lbs of slush - pattern work, potential delays due to other traffic, etc..." http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=26117

If the person being interviewed didn't want it recorded, then it should not be recorded.

I have but one question... fps?

The airlines should learn from this as well... there are times when it is best to just stay on the ground.

Sorry, couldn't here it over the noise of my case fans. ;)

167 passengers and nine crew members from different nations. Ukraine's foreign minister, Vadym Prystaiko, said that there were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians and 11 Ukrainians on board — the Ukrainian nationals included two passengers and the nine crew. There were also 10 Swedish, four Afghan, three German and three British nationals, he said.

Several photos of the wreckage reveal projectile puncture holes in wing, tail, fuselage. What caused the punctures? Onboard mechanical failure or... an external source.

I'm just gonna go way out on a limb here and say... no.

Jolly good!

Rudder pedal fore and aft adjustment markings. Say you find the pedals are most comfortable for you at 8", the next time you hop in the jet you can easily set them for your liking. Would be my guess. Improperly adjusted rudder pedals can make life exciting.

You just identified my biggest bottleneck. :smilewink:

I saw a Grim Reapers carrier landing video that looked particularly sporty... I picture the deck crew running for their lives and diving off the carrier en masse. :megalol:

Rag doll collisions?

Any further word on this?

Sound is the weak point of the Rift S. Lots of people using in ear buds, headset has a jack built in. Have not tried over the ear, but fit may be an issue due to the Rift headband. Cheers

Well, looks like they had extra money now that they are not paying $10,000 per toilet seat. https://www.military.com/defensetech/2018/07/11/air-force-no-longer-spending-10000-toilet-seats-officials-say.html Seriously though, I can't imagine the rig I could put together for $15,000 USD...
