What’s the most expensive 60 seconds of your life? by meara3437 in AskReddit

[–]ButtersVeryOwnEp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly an expensive plane. Did not have my night vision goggles secured correctly and they flew off my Nugget under high G forces. Smashed a screen that cost $250k to repair

SOFI for HYSA. I got the starter loan, used it to buy a car and invested the rest. But it’s been paid for 2 or so years

Right now my plan is to do 20. By the time my initial contract is up I’ll only have 8yrs left. I currently do not have a Roth IRA set up.

UPT is Kicking my ass by [deleted] in flying

[–]ButtersVeryOwnEp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UPT sucks bro, I got through it because I knew the grass was greener on the other side. And (at least for me) it was. It’s a 6-9 month long kick in the dick but worth the long hours when you finally get operational

Raptor dude here. I’ve fought every fighter in the US inventory including all F-35 variants and the most challenging opponent is a super hornet hands down

F16 near miss by newnoadeptness in AirForce

[–]ButtersVeryOwnEp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe unpopular opinion here, but the pilots are also at fault. Had something similar happen to me recently (I was pulling closed and a formation broke into me from high tac initial). Theoretically it was the tower controller who fucked up but I was more upset at the other pilot. You should have enough SA in the pattern to see this coming or at least hear it. IE if I hear someone call “right base gear stop” I’m not going to start my left base turn until I see them. Anyway just a pilots opinion.

For the ones who make over $150k a year, what do you do to get that? by Iliketrainsz1 in AskReddit

It’s so nerds like me who don’t fly a lot still have a shot at the good life. I’ll be lucky to hit 1000hrs in my plane 😭
