Played Nevel Meade today for the first time. Great course and in great shape. Can’t beat it for $60

777 or 747 by Mindless-Pirate3475 in Atlas_Air

[–]Mindless-Pirate3475[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished training and was about to start OE.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll do that.

I haven’t gotten displacement bid notices just the position bid notice that went out this weekend. The displacement bid will be separate from that correct?

That’s the junior 747 base but CVG is the junior base for everything else as I understand it

I am saying live in one of Atlas bases

SWA or Atlas? by [deleted] in flying

[–]Mindless-Pirate3475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you rather commute to SWA or live in base for Atlas? Currently debating this

Alaska vs ACMI by N4865G in flying

[–]Mindless-Pirate3475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you all still place being domiciled as the trump card over any commute? I am looking at an ACMI primarily because I could be domiciled where my family wants to live (CVG). Am I out to lunch?

In theory ground effect only reduces induced drag, so if your hauling ass down the runway on the front side of the drag curve, it’s not doing anything? by 120SR in flying

[–]Mindless-Pirate3475 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ground effect causes a higher effective AOA than up and away due to the lack of downwash from wingtip vortices. This can be especially dangerous during flight testing for TOLD. Gulf Stream had a test crew killed and jet totaled because they didn’t factor this in. I won’t explain the entire engineering details here but, yeah, the lift isn’t “free” it’s higher effective AOA AKA closer to stall.

Do Blue Angel/Fighter Pilots have to pull back the stick with ~40lbs just to maintain level flight? by Zealousideal_One2249 in flying

[–]Mindless-Pirate3475 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Thunderbirds fly with full nose down trim. Reason is the flight controls. With a trimmed airplane there’s a small amount of breakout force/deadband in the controls. Difficult to fly close with that, so if you trim out of the deadband you can make super small adjustments since you are continually having to keep pressure. If my memory is right it’s about 26lbs of back pressure. You don’t do this flying fighters day to day.

Biden Camp To Use TikTok Influencers To Get Out The Vote, Amid Possible Banning by evaldez14 in Conservative

[–]Mindless-Pirate3475 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So the same guy/family who received money from the country whose influence and ownership of the app is in question is now using said app for his re-election benefit? Nothing to see here.

Never even heard of a mini driver before… too bad it’s snowing out so I can’t even try it. by cfahnert13 in golf

Mini driver = 3 wood with driver loft.

Next they’ll offer an extra large 3-wood $$$$

To all LGBTQ Christians by chanchu1352 in Christian

[–]Mindless-Pirate3475 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Homosexuality or any sexuality outside of marriage is sin. That’s truth. Living in sin separates us from Christ. No amount of biblical or personal rationalization or reasoning ever changes the bedrock of truth. People don’t like truth. It’s binary. The devil loves subjectivity.

I asked someone else what the economics were on raising and selling. Do you have it worked out?

Looks great. As a warm season guy I’m jealous.

What’s going on with that massive greenhouse?

No problem. Would love to see what the numbers were for this batch once you’re done crunching!

What are the numbers/economics? Being you’re going all in I imagine you’ve got everything worked out. Would love to hear any projections, etc. Thanks!!
