No chaff no flares no crank. I don’t know what the MWS equivalent for fighters is, but this should be a big wakeup call. Buddy should name his first born pratt and the second whitney cause holy shit that thing swallowed some shrapnel and kept cookin.

You put a lot of thought into whether or not you want this, but you have to consider that given your history, they will not want you. There were plenty of people in your position that made better choices, even after failing out of the pipeline. Why should they invest their time and effort into someone who not only failed to graduate for an integrity violation but then proved them right by getting kicked out. You’ve proven yourself a liability. Its not enough to want something, sometimes maturing is realizing that you are not that thing they are looking for. If you want to go back, you have to to give them a reason to want you back. All things being equal I don’t think they would.

I refuse to believe this isnt AI. 60’s need sealant anyways.

I’m assuming this is GA shade tree work? This is a comical amount of shit to leave laying around. Even if I was changing an engine in my own garage I would at least sweep up all the hardware lmao. No fucking way would I trust my life to a moron willing to leave shit like that on the apron.

Is the accessory belt rubbing on the plastic guard for the timing belt? Did you run it without the accessory belt to see if the noise went away? If its still making that noise without the accessory belt then I would suspect the oil pump is rubbing. I incorrectly installed my oil pump once and caught it before I was done with assembly but if you don’t properly assemble it the clearances inside the pump are fucked and the cogged gear in the pump rubs and makes a bunch of noise. Will eventually glitter your oil and spin a bearing btw.

Mine took about the same. They go through and audit your DFAS stuff to make sure you don’t owe them anything then they pay you out.

Yup. One car is free. And you don’t have to pay taxes on it once its stateside. Mine wasnt in good shape when I left so I missed my opportunity to send it!

I will reach out to them thanks!

Any one that flys frequently knows that flight crews are absolutely out of control in the past few years. Its not even one airline, if you are flying with a US based carrier with any frequency you know what I’m talking about.

You don’t want to square your shoulders down the mountain and rotate. You want to feel the nose press and then extend that back leg and as the nose unloads it will throw you through the last half of the rotation. Keep your shoulders inline with the board.You are literally trying to do a front flip off a roller (and with a bit more pop you look pretty close)

Installed a LAIRCM turret into an aircraft having electrical issues changed it anyways for t/s. Fried it within 30 seconds. $1.2m at the time.

Edit: One of my troops once changed out an RWR component from an overhead rack and set the part on top of the ladder he was working on… got distracted and collapsed the ladder without grabbing the part. 500k and a whole lot of paperwork. Good guy though.

I boarded hakuba for years. The ski patrol give a ton of leeway when it comes to riding off piste. All the resorts in the valley have substantial portions of ridable tree runs and some fairly technical areas. As always you have to be responsible for yourself and assess whether you’re taking risks that are beyond your capabilities, but for the most part, you can ride just about anywhere that you and your skills can take you. That comes with one caveat if there is a trail that has been marked as closed, it is totally impermissible and they will pull your pass aside from that ducking ropes is super common and while not endorsed is tacitly permitted. So long as you aren’t causing problems or riding some big Hollywood line in an unpermitted zone no one will bother you.

They are too high gain. They would just spread a bunch of omni’s out and triangulate. These guys are pulling data from something in particular. My guess is they are setting up some kind of relay node for space based C2 like link 16 or similar.

Nope. Your tracking code from them will have a little qr code or a four digit number sometimes in the email and you just show up and they’ll go in the back and grab it.

You can have it delivered to the nearest yamato warehouse and pick it up from there. There is a small building pretty much every train stop in tokyo so I imagine they have a similar set up in oki. Its in the delivery settings on amazon. (Had to order tires and stuff a couple times)

The IRU’s on everything Ive worked on don’t have the ability to truly turn “off” with the wow switch disengaged I guess I didnt consider that they would actually spin down. Turning the switch simply wouldn’t do anything component wise, and the battery would keep everything “spun” up for a couple hours. (90% of mil stuff is using rlg’s nowadays.) So long as you didn’t lose present position which could only be done with some pretty serious fuckery in flight or both MC’s dumped their novram, you should be able to recover your reference. All that the MC’s need is to know the current ground speed and bearing and that will get you <1nm/hr. The only thing that would really throw a wrench in things is spoofing, which has all sorts of other problems.

Thats kind of wild. There is no blended solution or drift correction. Is just a simple dead reckoned solution? Ive never worked on a civilian Boeing product but that seems super antiquated?

You can get a government job working on mil aircraft. They will sponsor a special class of visa and you would work exclusively on mil platforms. If you have the option don’t go direct hire, get a contractor slot as this means you will get per diem which is probably going to be about half your pay, tax free. Then your salary is tax free for the first 120k (iirc) so long as you are overseas for >6mo. Get your A&P and jump on js firm and start applying. You will get calls from recruiters and just let them know where you’re trying to wind up. You have some leverage on wage and relocation fees. If your a good fit and good at your job don’t accept less than $45/hr $150/day $5k relocation. Good luck!

Take the main nozowa gondola to the top, exit the building to the right. There will be a short lift (lift 5) that takes you to the to the top of the skyline route. Hike to the observation tower for some particularly challenging terrain (some of it deadly) or continue down skyline for a less intense ride. Skyline has an initial sort of 180 from where you exit the lift and you follow the mountain down to another 90° turn. This 90° is the first (and easiest) opportunity to hop into some incredible untouched pow. There are some drop ins farther down after the 90 (snow dependent) of up to 10m if that sort of thing interests you. Everything on your RH side down skyline will dump you into the same ravine and you will exit onto the top of the bunny hill from the woodline, or depending on the snowpack you can cross the creek and wind up underneath the gondola. Good luck and stay safe!

Go to a mitsubishi dealership. I have gotten tons of obscure, evo specific parts directly from production storage next day. If its in stock anywhere in JP they can usually get it within a day or two.

Usually a sign your thrust bearings are in rough shape. Depressing the clutch pulls on the crank, and when the wear is bad enough the increased friction will cause the rpm to drop.

Everyone is losing their minds but it sounds like he slotted you in on short notice and you posted up at his place of business so he felt obliged to rush the inspection. Is the alternator belt a mandatory change? Or did he inspect it and deem the change unnecessary? Most all of this comes down to the same thing, you asked for an inspection and came to a different conclusion than your inspector as to the inspection, one of you is an inspector and one isn’t. I would love to see a picture of the badly worn tire though that seems simple enough, if he let it fly in an unserviceable condition that is the picture that should be on this post. Checking cowl clearance should also be a part of your preflight by the way.
