— Open Blogger Hola Moron Nation! Thank God it's Friday. I'm still at work but hey, it's an exercise preparing for kinetic action so good times. I just wonder why we aren't giving the pirates a little kinetic action too instead of some Miranda action. Just sayin'.
Well to lead off tonight, I'm going to weave in some music tied to some videos. First up is a shameless plug for the kinetic platform that I fly. That of course is the Mighty P-3C Orion. Music of course is CCR. You can never go wrong with some CCR. Break out the val-u-rite and turn on your speakers and enjoy!
Now this rant on Pachabel's Canon is pretty good.
Now, someday we'll have a President that could pull this off again. I suspect that if President Kinetic Dumbassery Action tried it, he'd be laughed off the stage. He feels more comfortable hanging out with the Hollyweird crowd anyway. This is pretty awesome. President Bush leading the Marine Corps Band. Miss him yet?
Ok, that's enough music theme for now. Now it's time to engage your thinking caps now that you are on your second or third drink. I think you'll find this quiz a little bit harder than you think. I present to you, a Geography Quiz. I think the 'Stans might give you some trouble as well as the Western African countries.
Speaking of the 'Stan, here's an update on that forgotten Kinetic engagement in South West Asia. It is spring time and that means those Talibani Kinetic targets will be coming out to play.
Now for those of you looking forward to some spring break parties, perhaps you might think of building an ice luge for drinking shots. Now this ice luge is pretty damn cool and val-u-rite friendly. A Star Destroyer Ice Luge. Now for a moronpalooza, what ice luge would you all like to see?
Now, I know that cooking video I put up last time showing how to make plum cake was pretty popular for some reason, I decided to throw up another video on how to make Key Lime Pie.
OK, more cooking humor. This time, a reporter in Ohio interrupts her segment on cooking to share her love of male genitalia. Ooopsie.
Based on this cooking cover, I don't think I'll try any Rachel Ray recipes. Who knew commas were so important!
Here is the latest State Department summary report on worldwide terrorism. Do note that terror attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to make up nearly half of all terror attacks in the world with Afghanistan climbing rapidly and Iraq going down over the last few years. 2009 National Counterterrorism Center: Annex of Statistical Information.
More statistics on murder and terror rates.
Interesting. 5 Ways Serial Killers Can Help You Morons Pick Up Women. Seriously though, if you have to get advice from serial killers, you don't got game man.
Here's a good site to keep you up to date with the ongoing non-kinetic action known as piracy. EagleSpeak. Check it out. Here is a map of the latest pirate attack locations.
Well, I think that's all I got tonight. I need to get back to some kinetic work. Drink up and enjoy morons.
Heh, tonight's ONT brought to you by Ace and his new PSA campaign:

Rachel Ray must be very popular in China...
Seriously, they got problems with feral dogs in China so what better way to deal with the problem? In Beijing I think they limit dogs to 1 per family (or some other similar situation).

We lived in Hong Kong for a year. My son, who was in 7th grade at the time, took a bike trip with his class onto the mainland. The parents could follow their trip online and the kids would write essays about something they did or saw that day. Sometimes they would do it from the perspective of some person or animal in the story. There was one story from the perspective of one of the cats....at the wet market....in a cage. I believe there was also a pic of a dog that had been 'readied' for sale.

So my Chinese lab-mate lied to me about that stuff not happening? Surprise, surprise, surprise, 
.
Speaking of dogs, my friend went to Greece last month and he told me there were stray dogs all over the place. I dunno if that's a Greek thing or that it is because Greek austerity cut back on animal control funds, but I wouldn't feel safe with packs of stray dogs around. At least not without a shotgun.

My brother was in the Air Force in the late 60's and flew missions over Europe monitoring radio broadcasts. He went to the defense language institute for Bulgarian, so I assume it was over Eastern Europe. He died many years ago, so I never got a chance to ask him about the particulars like what aircraft, etc. He was pretty closed-lipped at the time.

I finally came to the realization today that conservatives really can't risk bumper stickers. Libs don't have enough self-restraint. Now libtard cars are plastered with that junk...
Didn't one of the Morons tell us how her bro, in a deep-blue area of Washington state, had his car continually keyed and damaged because of his conservative bumper stickers? He got even, though. After his car was turned into a beatermobile, he started putting conservative stickers on high-end cars in the parking lots he frequented.

Right, but the USN was supposed to replace the TBF and SBC fleets with her and go for high density wings of low cost tac air. Instead they got to sniffing some of the USAF's "interdiction bombing nobody should want to CAS" moonshine and built the 6 and 7. The 6+7 were good birds but there's something about having LOTS of cheaper planes that would make this young(once) infantryman's heart swell in a way ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM......*boom* wouldn't.

I found out something on the history channel the other day. John Walker, the spy we caught in our own CIA, transfered our code translation information to the Soviets. A machine was needed, however , to use it. The Soviets got North Korea to capture our spy boat, the Pueblo, to get the machine. It all makes sense now.
The Pueblo is still a tourist/propaganda prop in NK. Personally I think we should have made it a hole in the ocean immediately after getting our troops back.

VNAF flew Skyraider's, and one of my favorite men was then Colonel Nugyen Cao Ky who was Vietnamese AF CO, and frequently flew from Bien Hoa wearing a white silk scarf. He would come to the O Club and knock back a few, but was never able to buy a drink. He was a favorite, and especially his wife Tiger Lady, a knockout Eurasian with big tits.

Growing up in Marquette County, MI, when K. I. Sawyer was a SAC base, we used to see the B-52s on approach over Lake Superior whenever the wind blew from the south. Fighters, too, but I can't recall what they were.
Now Sawyer is "Sawyer International Airport" -- what international flights there are and to where I have no idea -- and from time to time the commercial flights come in over Lake Superior. I was on one a couple of years ago coming up from O'Hare and those of us in the know wondered what the hell the pilot was doing because we could see through the broken clouds that we were well on our way to Big Bay before he turned south. And then, the coolest thing ... we spotted an iron ore carrier steaming along right underneath us. I had never seen one from above before ...

Well, there is a crapper but it may as well just be a bucket. You would line it with a bag (plastic), do your business, tie it off and then double and triple bag it. If you dump it out the dump chute, the bag is likely to explode on the outside of the plane which is a no-no. You'd be washing a plane when you got back on deck. Regardless, you still owed the crew a case of beer for defiling the air environment.

So, my buddy test drove a Volt, today. His sister is a high-up Exec. @ GM. I should call him to see if he's still alive.
There was a great op-ed in the WSJ the other day advocating that we no longer subsidize electric cars. Did you know that the first electric car was made 180 years ago in Scottland? He made the point that the electric car technology hasn't evolved much over time. The new volts batteries cost about 20k, the chargers run almost 1000 bucks, the electrical grids will have to be updated and changed (billions of dollars), and it's just not worth it. To have a car that can go 80 miles on one 8 hour charge and has to have it's very expensive battery replaced in 8-10 years (leaving you with a car with zero resale value). So not worth it all. And yet we are subsidizing this crap.

Totally agree. My biggest gripe while he was in office really was not going after the MFM more. I truly believe he loves his country and I know he made mistakes but that was the bottom line. And.. he fucking loved the military and they knew it.

CJ, you can read all about it in the latest Vince Flynn - American Assassin or Brad Thor (and his mighty hammer) - Athena Project. I can't remember which one it was, but one of the subplots is about a subversive trying to seduce an FBI agent (although she doesn't know he's with the bureau) into getting a low-level job at the Denver airport, so she can get him to (unknowingly) deliver dangerous items in proximity to that basement. He goes into exhaustive detail about the bizarre details of that airport.

I've been feeling like shit for almost 2 months, so I am willing to try anything. I mostly want to win that fuckin' megathingy. Sorry to be a cranky ol' bitch.

But I did have a hankering for a Fish-Fillet from McD's today. I don't eat much from there - except that. Which is weird bc I don't like fried foods.
More babbling......
Anyway, I like fish fries. (not for the fish there). More for the cheap gambling and cruddy beer. They spread like wildfire here during Lent. I could name about six of them tonight within a five mile radius. Big Catholic area here.

Ah, again the reference to the idea that there is one day a week during Lent that you are allowed to cheat because Lent is actually longer than 40 days and Jesus only fasted for 40 days in the desert. I believe the last person that brought this up claimed it was Sundays that you were allowed to cheat on.

It's not just about a biblical commandment. Abstaining from meat on Fridays is supposed to teach us humility. It's a reminder of those less fortunate who cannot afford to eat well, and a way to teach us to appreciate our good fortune, while at the same time learning not to place too much emphasis on material things, because we can control our earthly desires.
Posted by: Alex at March 25, 2011 06:58 PM (kwNeL)
--Check the calendar. Today is Annunciation. Solemnity means not only that you do not have to hold to Lenten vows, but you can even eat meat even though it's Friday. I have a super-religious wife so I am on good authority.
Posted by: logprof at March 25, 2011 10:33 PM (BP6Z1)
Ah yeah the allowing to eat meat because a feast day falls on Friday during Lent. Last time I heard it brought up was when St. Patrick's Day fell on a Friday. The rule was you were allowed to eat meat that day, but had to abstain from it on a different day to make up for it.

Posted by: Circa (Insert Year Here) at March 25, 2011 07:00 PM (7utQ2)
All right, already. The fast and abstinence stuff for Lent isn't rocket science. Lent is supposed to be a solemn time of reflection and denial to commemorate what He went through for you. Not eating meat on Friday was considered "denying yourself" something satisfying (and in years past, prob'ly $$). But as a nifty young priest pointed out once, "If your idea of forgoing meat on Fridays in favor of lobster is denial, when you really don't care for meat, then you really don't get it." The idea is to "suffer" a little or deprive yourself of something you'd rather have.
As to when Lent really ends, I'm looking at this schedule from my church that says it's officially over on Palm/Passion Sunday: "Lent now comes to an end and the Church enters into the Paschal Triduum." (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday).

And as for why fish isn't considered "meat." I had always heard that in the past the church had their hands in the fishing industry, so they didn't really want to cut down on their profits.

She's "frank breech," which means butt-down with her feet up by her head.

My understanding was it was no meat, lard, eggs, or dairy for the whole six weeks. Hence making doughnuts on Fat Tuesday to use up the butter and eggs and stuff. I'm sure it was just a coincindence that Lent occurs at the same time as baby cows.
Monks would go a step further and take no solid food, which is why so many monasteries had such great breweries.

One of the core differences between national and international socialism, is that the former tries to co-opt the churches, and the latter tries to destroy them.
The National Socialists in Germany did the same thing.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but the Beck guests were talking about the kind of inflation, a la Jimmah Carter years, that it would take to get our money supply back to normal. Beck recalled Art Laffer saying it would make the Carter years look like a breeze. We had 21% mortgage rates then. Things are going to get really, really ugly. But then, you all know that, 'cause Monty lives here.

Ah, again the reference to the idea that there is one day a week during Lent that you are allowed to cheat because Lent is actually longer than 40 days and Jesus only fasted for 40 days in the desert. I believe the last person that brought this up claimed it was Sundays that you were allowed to cheat on.

Posted by: Kratos (Ghost of Sparta) at March 25, 2011 11:12 PM (c0A3e)
Yeah, though that can be taken as not offering up sacrifices at the altar as was the custom. And this is more of a sacrifice to yourself. And Lent its not necessarily giving something up, but can instead be doing something. As the goal is to better oneself and that can be accomplished by giving up a vice or giving of your time to help others.

Yeah, but you can point out people in almost all the Christian sects that pull the "I'm doing this and so I'm better than you" crap and I hate it. A couple times I've blasted a few people who have that Holier-than-thou attitude when they aren't acting very Christian.
And actually I believe part of it is not really talking about what you are giving up for Lent. Since talking about it can come off as being a bit Prideful, and its supposed to be between you and God and not something to show how awesome a Christian you are.

If I was actually paying the gas bill myself I'd be a mite less flip about it. I'm a 'virtual' employee and my job is 100% travel to client sites. I'm commuting in lieu of staying down there during the week so I can expense my mileage.
I have to fill up the gas tank every day. It's been amazing to watch the price rise almost every single day for the last month. When I first started this little experiment in commuting, it was costing me $26 to top off the tank each day after a RT. Yesterday it was $33. Except for the fact that it's cutting into my profit margin from my mileage expense I can't really complain about the cost since I'm lucky enough to be reimbursed for it. I really feel for folks. The extra expense is not insignificant for anyone commuting any real distance and here in So Cal that's a lot of people.

Forwarded from a Catholic friend:
"And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face; that you appear not to men to fast, but to your Father who is in secret: and your Father who sees in secret, will repay you."
--Matthew 6:16-18
It looks like the idea is that fasting/sacrifice in itself is fine and commendable in principle and practice, but don;t brag about it.
But then we conservatives of any degree of belief or non-belief can grasp this; it's the preachy shitheads of the Left who miss the point.

A caller said it was pity, that all the MBM pity her because of the gargantuan build and poor taste. Rush said he could see "sympathy," but never admitted that was his word.
One of the afternoon Morons thought the word that applied to the MBM was "ugly" and one thought it was "racist."

I'm not sure how much good it would do to have all the bookcases, etc strapped to the walls but I'm going to start working on them. My big problem is I'm trying to figure out how I'd get into the garage if we have a major quake. It's detached from the house and I haven't got the foggiest idea how to get an electric garage door open and get to my car without electricity. I'll probably just buy a sledgehammer, keep it in the house and plan on beating my way in.

I feel a little sorry for them. Can't be easy being props for megalomaniacs. If they don't have eating disorders yet, they will by the time they leave the WH (in 2013).
OTOH, they will be admitted to any college they choose to apply to (taking a spot and possibly scholarship money from some better-qualified kid with unfamous parents), and after their assured graduation will be pulling down a cool half-mil at a firm that received copious Obama $ta$h (you will recall Chelsea Clinton went directly from degrees in history and "public health" *eeek* to a quarter-mil at a hedge fund).
So I don't feel very sorry them. Just a little bit.

Usually there is a normal door to get into the garage. I've never heard of a garage that doesn't have a regular door as well.
Posted by: buzzion at March 25, 2011 08:17 PM (oVQFe)
The bigger problem would be if there's distortion from the quake in the frame or runners that jams the door
--There's usually just a cord hanging near the door that you yank to unlock the chain, then you can lift the door manually.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. My problem is that the only access to the garage is through the garage door. I own a condo and the garage is a detached building, no other doors or windows. I can be pretty motivated with a sledgehammer if need be though

Is there no other door except the actual garage door? I thought detached garages always had a side door - esp since most people I know don't even store their cars in their garages. Some people turn them into offices if not storage.
Posted by: Rum, Goddess of Doom and Sith Apprentice at March 25, 2011 08:19 PM (YxBuk)
Look on the center beam the door travels on, there will be a cord hanging from the piece that attaches the door to it and all you have to do is give it a quick yank down and that will detach the door from the opener and you can open it manually.

Seems like an usual design. Most garages have a side entrance, even the detacted ones.
Anyway, if you're concerned about getting in when the power is cut, there should be some solution to manually opening the garage door.

If you lived along Tornado Alley your garage would be kindling, and your car would probably be somewhere around the yard
When it comes to California, the fires are worse than the earthquakes because the fires don't leave anything but ashes where your garage used to be
Earthquakes, fires, mudslides, drought ... but none can compare to the ruination brought to the Golden State by leftist politicians and the brain dead idiots who outnumber people who actually think stuff has to be paid for
Posted by: kbdabear at March 25, 2011 08:23 PM (vdfwz)

Get one of these for $89 and plug your opener into to it and then plug it into the wall. If you power goes out you will have juice to raise your door.

Dunno but this place was built nearly 50 years ago. I'm disinclined to raise the issue because I live in fear of having them raise the HOA dues yet again for another freaking retrofit issue here. I'm going the sledgehammer/sawzall, battery powered, cordite route.

it was a banner night at the homestead tonight Beanervt The guy moved out to his moms. we both had meltdowns. it was not pretty. we have come to the conclusion nobody really likes doing this.
Nobody is handling this well. I hope his (ordinarily very difficult) mothter is appreciative of him moving in with her and treats him accordingly, or shes gonna end up with a face full of ugly.
oh. and im miserable. And did i mention hes going out for his 2 weeks of reserve duty starting sunday?

I chip in with marketing gimmick. Can only do so many product enhancements (Bud Light, Bud Dry, Bud Ice, Bud Light Lime) and one must come out with New! & Improved! packaging or marketing gimmicks every so often. (Wide Mouth, 18-paks, 30-paks, Tallboys, Longnecks, 7oz bottles, 8 oz pony cans.....)

There's two solutions to this.
1. Stop drinking Bud, start drinking Ozarka.
2. Stop drinking Bud, start drinking real beer. Perhaps Sam Adams, or Shiner if it's available. I also recommend anything from Stone Brewery, Dogfish Head or Victory Brewery.

I require the person I am with to have to have me around and desire my counsel and support....
I am an extremely self-destructive person when I am alone or do not feel wanted. A good relationship forms a better complete person than the sum of the individual parts of personality. The wife was meek and a dorrmat, I cured her of that-I am a sarcastic sheepdog with a bad revenge streak.
She protects me from that.
I don't do well alone.

mine are SUVs Eddie and Blue Streak (dad pinstriped blue flames on Blue, because it was a gift he wanted to be cool)
be we name our rifles (Jessica and Mercy)
the saddles for some reason all have their own names and this is a tradition from WAY BACK with my first coach...

I do believe everything is alive but i got all esoteric in university so you have to forgive me my misspent youth, reading all the wrong books. But it does make it fun to Dharma Joust with the Liberals because i took all the same classes they did but absorbed totally different things. 15 years studying mongolian and Turkic shamanism gives you some real perspective on whether those people really ARE like us, and the answer is NO.

I did name my 96Ford Exploder "eddie" after a famous surfer Eddie Aikau who was killed surfing big surf, and where i grew up in Hawaii people would say about something to totally crazy and fucked up insane to do "eddie would go"
so i named my trusty exploder "Eddie" still drive it today.

Seriously, who names a white Dodge Charger "Bubba" ??!?
"eddie" works, given the story. Matching the car's personality to the right name is the most important part of pride in car ownership. Sticking to scheduled oil changes is second.

The German Jetta's rock. Of course, mine (and yours) have the window regulator disease (all WILL fail), but so far that seems to be the only endemic failure mode for the older Jettas. The diesel engine and manual trannys seem to be good for 250K or so before needing any substantial work.
My old 00' Passat had lots of problems. The regulator disease, front suspension issues, and rear brakes that always wore out faster than the fronts (which was where the sensors were). When new, the Passat was nice, but it didn't age well at all and wasn't worth keeping alive.
The newer shit is really bogus - particularly the water pumps. Fucking idiot engineers put a plastic impeller on them that always breaks and makes the engine overheat. The dealers are pretty unhappy about that shit.

20 years ago I had a 66' VW beetle with a hot rodded engine. In a 300' race, it could take a Vette off the line, then it ran out of gears.
With the swing axles and no camber compensator, it had a vicious 911 style oversteer tendency in corners. Kinda fun if you understood it, fatal if not.

I had a beat up 58' bus years ago. Very cool. Bought it for a couple of hundred bucks when I was in grad school. I swapped the bad tranny out in the UCSD dorm parking lot.
It needed a new steering gear though, and ones of that vintage, even rebuilts are pretty much made of unobtanium. A lot of minor changes happened from 58' to 61', and the early 60's parts are still available.

Ya that was the 1.9, pretty bullet proof. I've done a bit of reading of tuning the 2.0 but haven't researched the parts. The 1.8 uses the ol style "rabbit" twin cam head" and may still have the short guides. The 2.0 from what i've read has big valves with more volume then the 4 valve setup. My understanding is nothing needs beefing up just needs more breathing and fuel duration..It'll be fun and I can finally do it with no wifey no mo...

Planned Parenthood of Idaho officials apologized Wednesday for what they called an employee's "serious mistake" in encouraging a donation aimed at aborting black babies.
They also criticized The Advocate, a right-to-life student magazine at the University of California-Los Angeles, for trying to discredit Planned Parenthood employees in seven states in a series of tape-recorded phone calls last summer.
The call to Idaho came in July to Autumn Kersey, vice president of development and marketing for Planned Parenthood of Idaho.
On the recording provided by The Advocate, an actor portraying a donor said he wanted his money used to eliminate black unborn children because "the less black kids out there the better."
Kersey laughed nervously and said: "Understandable, understandable. ... Excuse my hesitation, this is the first time I've had a donor call and make this kind of request, so I'm excited and want to make sure I don't leave anything out."
On Tuesday, The Advocate released transcripts and audio recordings of this phone call and another to fundraising representatives in Ohio.

From Flopping Aces: (Using BO's def. on 'exit strategy in Libya)
This, of course, means that… technically, and according to Obama’s O’vocabulary… we don’t need no stinkin’ “exit strategy” from Afghanistan at all. If the very definition of “exit strategy” is NATO control, the US has officially “exited” Afghanistan in July of 2006, when NATO assumed full authority over the operations. Coincidently, months before the security and operations meltdown.

Momma, I'm a creaky old guy with Vietnam bumps and have the same stuff. What works for me is an aggressive stretching program 2-4 times daily, with a couple of ocean dips which also affords the opportunity to bikini gaze.
If unable to keep the pain below a four (1-10), two Advil seems to help. I keep Tylenol with codeine available, but only use it under the worst of circumstance maybe 2-3 times a year.
My bed is a queen Sealy with no bells and whistles. It provides good support, but awakening at 5-6 AM daily due to back pain. I find that moving to a recliner for an extra hour or so relives the pressure on the back, and gives my dog the opportunity to get rid of all his farts in the backyard. It's a two-fer. Diminished back pain and no dog farts.

Try a Sterns and Foster brand mattress.
We stayed at a friends house who had one.
It was the best nights sleep my wife and I had in years.
Also, talk to your doctor about meloxicam in place of ibuprofen.
It's used for arthritis, but I have degenerative back disease, and have had it prescribed during flair-ups, and the results are remarkable.

I tried one of those toppers, but I couldn't turn over on it. It felt great on the back, not so much for the neck. It is always like that. If it is great for the back, it screws my neck (or vise-versa)

Meloxicam is not a muscle relaxer.
It's along the same lines as ibuprrofen, with none of the side effects of muscle relaxers.
and it's not a large pill either.
Dosages are 7.5mg and 15mg, so we are not looking at something like an 800mg super motrin,
My standard recovery time from a back pain episode is 10 days on motrin.
With the meloxicam, it's shortened to about 3 days.
Sterns (And it may be spelled as Stearns) and Foster is a high end mattress, but I know that many of the outlets carry it, and even Sears carries them.

The doctrine specifies that diplomatic options such as internal conflict resolution, sanctions, and prosecution by the International Criminal Court, should be used first. If they don't work, then a multi-national force approved by the Security Council would be deployed.
While few seem to realize the significance of the new doctrine, Responsibility to Protect convenor Richard H. Cooper fully understands its transformational potential.
Cooper writes on the Responsibility to Protect website
Yet as I write, a quiet revolution is under way. In September 2005, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a declaration - the World Summit Outcome - whereby each and every State in the world accepted its responsibility to protect populations from genocide, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing and war crimes. The declaration also emphasizes that if a State relinquishes its responsibility to protect – whether by will or lack of capacity - this responsibility must be borne by the international community that can decide to intervene as a last resort. In the face of mass atrocities, every nation and thus every people on earth have pledged to be our brothers’ keepers. Without fanfare and with little notice, the obsolete principles underlying the Westphalian ordering of world affairs have been dramatically rewritten. We can no longer hide behind State sovereignty, a 400-years old shield, to excuse the shameful reflex and ongoing practice of remaining passive in the face of the most outrageous behaviors... "We can no longer hide behind state sovereignty."

I was walking Elvis, but returned and found your remarks. What's disconcerting is knowing these young men went through both a rigorous selection process to enter, and a very aggressive and demanding course of study to graduate, and the final effort is demeaned by the presence of Michelle Obama, a liberal/socialist with no understanding of sacrifice.
Both she and her pitifully inept husband aren't enamored of the military, and it strikes in the face of common sense to foster these buffoons upon this graduating class. Fortunately, this class will endure and respect the Office of the Presidency, and they will also endure the mangled syntax from the unelected and uninspiring Michelle Obama.

Nope. Anderson AFB, Guam. You can see it start tip over when the P-3 lifts off.
See. I told you so!

Here's a helpful hint form sunny Florida: if your key lime pie is green, odds are it ain't key lime. It should be yellow, not green.

@learflyer
Flew the P-3C before going civilian in 91.
Typed-rated in the DA-10, DO-328, D-328JET, G-1159, IA-JET and, just for shits and giggles, the L-188.
Mostly retired now.
How about you?

The "Jerry's Kids" moniker would fit for U-2 or Q-1, but it must have been after my time with both. i was with VPU from 85-89, VQ from 91-93.
And yes, it was nice, especially being with VPU during the Cold War. Great missions!

Fly,
Im typed on the MU-300, BE-400, HS-125, and the CE-500. I'm all civilian though. I'm an instructor (sim) on the Beechjet right now and fly it regularly on a contract basis until the economy decides to improve itself.

Moffett AIMD, 81-84. Remember walking in the rain inside hangar 1.

"Looks like the left outboard engine was not in use?"
I wasnÂ’t paying attention when I watched the video, so I canÂ’t say for sure.
ItÂ’s possible the #1 engine (left outboard) had been loitered (shutdown) to
extend aircraft endurance on-station. It's routine on a typical 12-hour Orion mission.
Engines 2,
3 and 4 have generators which normally supply electrical power to the aircraft in-flight. Engine #1 has no generator, so itÂ’s the first
to be shut down.
ItÂ’s also possible to loiter #4 engine (right outboard) and
fly only on the two inboard engines, but the aircraft has to have burned a lot of fuel before that can happen (lowering aircraft gross weight so that safe flight can be sustained on only two engines).
That doesn't happen very often -- at least it didn't when I was flying them. I flew on the two inboards only one time in my 4.5 years -- a 14.5 hour mission flown out of Masirah, Oman over the Persian Gulf during Operation Earnest Will.

Yes, sir...I remember it as a RAG student there for a few months before crossing over to the other side of the field to fly operationally.

Nice video, but why in the world was military power (I assume since I heard 1070 called--max TIT in the L188 was 971) with a two plus mile long sea level runway?
Don't the tax payers own that thing? all 4 of them?

You made me go into the crawl space and dig out my P-3 NATOPS manual to refresh my memory:
From the engine limitations section:
Maximum (take off) power = 1077 degrees (C) or five minutes
Military power = 1049C for thirty minutes
Normal rated power = 1010C

thanks for the knowledge! I flew the mighty Electra for 4 years as a FE and FO at Zantop Airlines. We used Max Continuous (932 or 4000hp) for most takeoffs. 971 was only needed heavy, high and hot (think ABQ)-thus my q.
Still get sleepy at that frequency.

I was on Forrestal, which operated in the IO since the Gulf was too small to operate carriers back in 88. Apparently the Gulf has grown bigger since then because the Washington was a damn sight bigger than the FID, and sometimes we have two Nimitz class carriers in there at a time now.

GGE:
I remember the Seventh Fleet rule of no carriers in the PG very well.
On one mission, just before the start of Earnest Will, we were intercepted by an Iranian F-4. He was hassling us pretty good and playing games off our tail. Defenseless as the P-3 was, all I could do was descend to just above the water (I may have busted the 200Â’ foot minimum altitude restriction on that one *wink*) and have my nav/com radio the carrier that was on-station in the Arabian Sea/Gulf of Oman area. They had a couple of F-14s on some sort of ready alert, so they eventually launched and showed up to chase the Iranian F-4 back to its base.
It took the Tomcats long enough to get on-scene. It seemed like an hour, but wasn't really that long. It wouldÂ’ve been nice to have the carrier a little closer.
Good times, though...

ItÂ’s been so long I honestly canÂ’t remember what we did. A bagged-out (full fuel) P-3C heading out on a typical 12-hour mission comes in at a gross weight of around 135,000 pounds. Moffett Field had an 8,000 foot runway if I recall correctly, so IÂ’m sure we used 1077C for takeoff in such cases.
On a typical 3-4 hour pilot training flight, however, with much less fuel onboard, we may have used 1010C for takeoff.

I broke down there once, though, while flying for the reserves on our way from NAS Glenview to Adak for two-weeks of AcDu. We shit a gear box over western Canada and diverted into Whidbey. The reserve squadron there did the work on replacing the gear box which took a day or so. We took off two days later and got a chip light on the same engine about an hour after liftoff. Returned to Whidbey for another 3-engine landing and another gearbox change.
The Whidbey area is quite scenic, but somewhat isolated and a bit dreary (it rained most of the time I was there). Not sure I would've liked that area much as a duty station.
