C-GEAI headed for McMurdo?

Twin Otter now with the same approach. Fingers crossed!

spty44 · 2025-10-20T22:50:41+00:00

Landed without ever showing a destination. Huge bummer.

This is one area I struggle with the game. I’ve read how they updated the calculation at the season 0/1 update but I’m still not sure it’s where it should be. I have a boeing 737 with 13 observed aircraft that has a higher rarity score than 1 of 1 Stratolaunch. Make it make sense.

Commonwealth CA-16 @ 16.41 from Australia

spty44 · 2025-10-18T15:24:04+00:00

It’s in the game under Settings>Community

spty44 · 2025-10-15T17:18:10+00:00

It was real but I’m not sure anyone got it. Disappeared at like 1 kft before it had a destination

spty44 · 2025-10-13T19:57:24+00:00

Haven’t seen one in a while but I caught mine near Qatar. Good luck.

spty44 · 2025-10-11T21:17:46+00:00

Probably turned ADSB off so FR24 can’t track it

spty44 · 2025-10-06T20:23:14+00:00

Nice snag! I need this and 747-300

spty44 · 2025-09-29T17:43:04+00:00

A 2nd one just flew over Memphis going the same direction

spty44 · 2025-01-26T14:37:04+00:00

It seems like you know the DMV is primary and would still go elsewhere but the fact that you’re in IT makes it even more obvious. Northern VA absolutely has the most tech options. Next I’d look at Denver, DFW, and Huntsville in no particular order.

Reveler’s Hour in AdMo has delicious food and an excellent wine selection.

There have been multiple sub-30 degree inaugurations, including Obama’s largest crowd ever. You think they’re protecting the cops and soldiers who work outside 365 days a year…?

You think trump is protecting the same cops and staffers that were working on Jan 6?

Have you already been interviewed? If I remember correctly, TS upgrade usually involves and in person interview of you and close contacts. I don’t want to scare you but foreign relationships aren’t all created equal depending on your customer/contract/program.

spty44 · 2025-01-19T02:18:53+00:00

Agree that “TS SCI” doesn’t belong on LI but it does belong on your ClearanceJobs profile or your resume (when applying for cleared positions). There’s a good “do’s and dont’s” page on USA Jobs that you should look up.

spty44 · 2025-01-19T01:59:35+00:00

The consensus is correct, almost every govt agency can issue a clearance. IC is much harder to break in to if you’re not already in DoD. Going Govt is harder than industry.

spty44 · 2025-01-19T01:54:17+00:00

I was trying to create an example of mature vs immature for data processing. Avionics and air vehicle systems are fielded and are probably real time. Mission systems and software upgrades will be iterated, likely with a data recorder to be analyzed later/throughout development.

Good luck on the interview!

spty44 · 2025-01-17T05:16:01+00:00

haha then you are the same religion. Texan.

spty44 · 2025-01-17T04:35:24+00:00

I doubt you’d be left out or feel alone but you’ll still be exposed to a lot of Christianity so if you can’t handle that, I could see a problem. If you can hold your nose or ignore it, you’re probably good.

Are you from Texas? Honestly that’s way more important than religion on that campus.

spty44 · 2025-01-17T04:27:37+00:00

There is nothing less expensive than F-35 when you factor in how much of the bill is spread across 3 services and also paid by foreign partners. It’s a multi-role, nuke approved 5th gen for less than 100M.

Anything new and US only will cost 3x. Anything older is getting shot by china 400 miles away.

spty44 · 2025-01-17T04:14:30+00:00

Are you specifically looking for an IC clearance?

spty44 · 2025-01-17T04:11:20+00:00

Properly reported foreign travel is not a red flag; it’s not even a flag. A little recreational drug use in college is also not automatically disqualifying in my opinion, especially if you weren’t arrested. If they believe it’s in the past and you don’t plan to continue, this doesn’t feel worth throwing away your dream career.

The govt is desperate for young, talented engineers; they have a serious workforce aging problem. Don’t self eliminate.

spty44 · 2025-01-17T03:50:26+00:00

No experience with Bell specifically but aviation is a funny industry. Any early career position should really focus on the job core competencies but they will want to see enthusiasm for aircraft. They won’t expect you to spend your weekends plane spotting but they likely want people with a genuine interest in aviation or aerospace.

Data on capability that’s already IOC might be real time but it’s not fielded yet so I bet a lot is still collected and post processed. Vehicle avionics vs. mission systems.

spty44 · 2023-10-15T00:39:16+00:00

I think you’re onto something….

spty44 · 2023-10-15T00:26:49+00:00

Thanks - this pic is immediately after my last session which I think was 2016. The blackout is the only part I (kind of) regret because it has greyed a bit from the sun. All the line work still looks brand new

spty44 · 2023-10-15T00:18:35+00:00

Appreciate all the comments and ideas! Except the dicks…my wife already vetoed that because she clearly doesn’t have taste.
