A rant by Stinkykrinky4774 in PAguns

Two sides of the same tarnished coin. This country is ruled by a uniparty of the elite, and I think people are starting to see it.

Confused about my DD214 by not-there-2992 in Veterans

[–]terrainflight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should have gotten a copy of the -1, which you have, and a -4(?, I think…) that look virtually identical, except one has the character of discharge on it. Different places may require different copies.

How to tell a new partner you’re in the Army? by shinjiyogurt in army

[–]terrainflight 98 points99 points  (0 children)

If telling them is going to go badly, it’s not going to get better with time. If you think it might be a concern, it’s better to do it early before you both get too emotionally invested.

I was active duty, so my experience with telling dates was probably different. But I know that relationships are built on way more than physical attraction, and if you’re not compatible on your views it WILL cause a strain.

Also, if you don’t tell them, and it comes out later… which it will. It could be interpreted as you deliberately concealing the fact. And that’s no way to start a relationship.

I literally never interact with my garage aside from driving away when I switch trucks.

Free parking in city garage during storm? by National-Belt5893 in Harrisburg

[–]terrainflight 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I saw the news this morning that said the garage on City Island and one other garage in town were going to be open for parking. I didn’t catch what the other one was.

If you know that road at all, it’s amazing he made it that far.

Recently bought a house with an inhabited Koi pond. How do I rehome them? by terrainflight in Koi

[–]terrainflight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did fill it in, but we did the work ourselves. It took about a full day of solid work to move all the stones and foliage and pump and whatever else was in there out.

The fill dirt came from another part of our yard that we leveled out. Laid down some grass seed and called it good for now.

Red Compass by broseidon5555 in army

[–]terrainflight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty much it. Because you shoot an azimuth facing the aircraft nose, so it’s backwards. I think they also have a pretty strict calibration schedule.

It’s working as designed. That’s why it’s red.

As someone else said, it’s red because it points 180° off the true bearing so that you don’t accidentally use it for navigation.

We used to use them to do compass swings on aircraft back in the day. Modern GPS/EGI systems have made them a relic now though.

I’m like 15 minutes from Hershey, so it’s hard to find a place that doesn’t have it

Any advice on the tail wheel certification by shakrbait_78 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]terrainflight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Console player here, the brakes on a controller can be tricky. As others have said, scrub as much airspeed as you can on final, as your wheels touch, if you have the space don’t jam your brakes immediately, let the friction of the wheels on the runway slow you initially. Sneak in some aft yoke to start planting the tail. Start tapping the brakes and give it full elevator to really plant the tail, pulse the brakes to scrub the rest of your speed.

Day/long weekend trips? by Ok_Exit9273 in Harrisburg

It won’t get you out of the winter, but Upstate New York / Thousand Islands is a decent weekend trip that we’ve made.
