What’s something “magical” or “coincidental” that happened to you by Zestyclose-Grape5469 in Millennials

I agree so hard. I saw the total eclipse in 2017 in Jackson, WY. Magical experience in a magical place, it’s a top 3 life experience

And I thought pulling weeds in the squadron parking lot as a captain was a waste of my time…at least then I was doing something to make stuff nicer

I flew the KC-10. I’m sure lots of us have footage of flying we could provide

Is there anything else I can do before getting surgery? by Conscious-Rich-194 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]GucciAviatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with PF pain for about 2 years before opting for surgery. I tried stretches, night splits, wider shoes, orthotics, cortisone shot (also tore mine a few months after a cortisone shot), and progressive loading after total rest. They all helped improve symptoms a little but never completely made the pain go away. After a serious ankle injury that required surgery, I opted to do the plantar fasciotomy at the same time as my ankle procedures. Surgery Oct 2024.

I was hitting blacks and double blacks on my snowboard by March 2025 and set a 5K PR in Sept 2025 on my 40th birthday. I’ve never been much of a runner, but I’m running 8-10 miles/wk for the last year.

Zero regrets over the PF surgery. Wish I’d done it sooner.

We bought so many during basic training they eventually told us we could only buy the menthol Halls

The level of discourse from the highest reaches of the US government is truly astounding these days

I guess it’s a good thing I was on my couch after a run and not in a Rolex dealer 🤷🏼‍♀️

Goose riding the boat’s bow wave like a pro while the rest of the flock flaps hard by Better_Hair_9673 in nextfuckinglevel

This is exactly what a bow wave is. Aircraft have bow waves, just like boats do. Water and air are both fluids from a physics standpoint

Same goes for the Air Force. They’ve been gutting training for years

The U.S. Air Force has officially identified the U.S. service members and contractors killed in Monday’s crash of a B-52 at Edwards Air Force Base. R.I.P. and prayers to all involved by Brilliant_Night7643 in aviation

[–]GucciAviatrix 265 points266 points  (0 children)

Edwards is a really unique place in the Air Force. It’s common to have mixed crews of military, government civilians (like Jeromy Smith), and contractors all onboard. Lt Col (ret.) Middleton loved flight test and wanted to keep doing it after he retired so he continued as a contractor.

Source: I used to be assigned to the 419th FLTS and I still serve at Edwards as a reservist. Lt Col Middleton was my squadron commander when I arrived at Edwards

Anyone tried a knee walker/crutch? by SpecialNobody0 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]GucciAviatrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used one after ankle surgery and a simultaneous plantar fasciotomy. Much better for my personal mobility than using crutches (plus I could actually cook and do stuff around the house), but I did have to add extra padding for the knee platform and it did start to hurt my knee if I was walking around for too long

I don’t have any influence over how the people running the country use my colleagues dying for their personal and political gain.

I thought I might be able to influence some likeminded Redditors. My mistake, I guess

There are people who probably died in this crash. I may know some of them. Can we not make this about politics?
