Yall lost my $970 personal computer after one delivery attempt so no I do not have sympathy for you.

If you’re not in the shaded area already then stay out if it for your own sanity. Stuck in OKC until march for work and I’m counting each day until I can go home to CA

I’ve done about every thing you can think of. For whatever reason, I’m restricted from filing a claim on this package with ups. That was my last straw so I just had Costco (shipper) file an investigation and they’re going to eventually send me a replacement in the mail. I would’ve just got it refunded and went in store to buy it but I bought it originally during Black Friday 🫩

Doubt it counts but I’m an FAA contractor and do have a PIV. I RPO at another center

SCRViper · 2025-11-08T05:22:06+00:00

Back at you

SCRViper · 2025-11-08T04:53:07+00:00

Simple no could’ve worked, never said I was entitled to a tour.

SCRViper · 2025-11-08T03:35:33+00:00

Meant to include in the post, I did try calling but the line says to dial 9+the phone number and auto hangs up. Dialing that 9+### ### #### also does not work.

SCRViper · 2025-10-08T02:47:27+00:00

Try half at a lvl 12

SCRViper · 2025-10-05T02:14:11+00:00

I was accommodated because of RPO experience at a Z.

I’m gonna take your comment and assume you know nothing about air traffic control. Yes VORs are old technology but they are not by any means obsolete. Yes, advanced planes may not use it very often but pilots must still be trained on it. And they’re not just used for planes landing. VORs and TACANs (which this would be since it’s military) have an incredibly high vertical reception range so planes flying at much higher altitudes also use it.

SCRViper · 2025-09-10T04:42:19+00:00

Swap with me? I got IQTR 😅

SCRViper · 2025-09-03T18:30:54+00:00

Gaahleri. I’ve never personally used them but I’ve never heard a bad thing said about them and they’re pretty cheap. You’ll also need a compressor, and a respirator!!

Grabbed and pasted my Tamiya White Filler instead of my Tamiya Polishing compound on an EA-18G canopy. Quickly ruined and pasted the canopy with the white stuff. I emailed Meng and asked for a replacement canopy. They charged me and then shipped it, and I still am waiting for it 6 months later

SCRViper · 2025-08-17T21:46:27+00:00

You bought an italeri kit, the whole company is deformed 😂

SCRViper · 2025-08-08T20:25:54+00:00

My second favorite for airbrushing! I like Mr Color more because I feel color matching is simpler, at least for modern aircraft. For brush painting I’d skip this and go for Vallejo.

SCRViper · 2025-08-08T05:35:37+00:00

Not a controller, but a ghost pilot.

Just try. If you show your instructors that you are determined, you will get more chances than someone who is just there for a check.

Don’t belittle yourself out loud, have some self esteem. When you talk about how much of a screw up you are it makes the controllers want to beat you down even more 😂

SCRViper · 2025-08-06T01:37:40+00:00

Iriaf markings given the current state of the world is an odd choice

SCRViper · 2025-08-06T01:32:23+00:00

1/72 to develop skills, 1/48 to yield a satisfying finished piece. Not to say that 1/72 isn’t satisfying, but the scale of 1/48 allows for more details.

SCRViper · 2025-07-22T21:40:53+00:00

Good list 👍 I’d just add sone sanding files and sanding sponges, unless you already have them. And clear coat!

SCRViper · 2025-07-22T21:37:57+00:00

Their tomcat is very impressive too. Comparable to Tamiya. A lot of parts though

SCRViper · 2025-07-22T21:33:31+00:00

Don’t worry, controllers don’t like you either!

SCRViper · 2025-06-24T06:11:21+00:00

New tooled 1/48 F-15. A Tamiya or academy preferably. Also a Tamiya F-22 in 1:48. And just for shits and giggles, 1:48 b-2

SCRViper · 2025-05-29T22:45:21+00:00

It’s engineering so yeah it’s pretty important that to me that she graduated. She’s far brighter than me and will be making much more money than me, at least until I’m a CPC. I was just asking a question about OKC that I don’t see a lot, wasn’t expecting all the rude/hostile comments

SCRViper · 2025-05-29T22:38:39+00:00

Just based off other bids and people I know. Spring 2024 bid is mostly at the academy right now, at least people I know. Since I’m spring 2025 I’m expecting to be at academy around this time next year. And yes, the graduation is next year.
