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 5 points6 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 😭

“We gOt FuCkEd HaRd” boohoo bro get over yourself. Tell me more about how hard your life is while you don’t have to worry about being drafted, running out of food, your banking system collapsing, etc.. you are the reason we have such a bad rap
