The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Back in my AF days I was a crew chief on the F-16. I got to crew #6 T-Bird at a show here at Luke. Ah the good times. One thing I can say is there is no feeling like being on the trim pad, with one bolted down, standing next to it in stage 5 burner. I also had the fastest ICT on a 16, 23 minutes from chauk in to chauk out. One thing that helped was the jammer didn't jam.

That's got to vibrate your entire gut, doesn't it? (Kinda makes the "boomy" bass speakers some people put in their cars seem like "toys", eh?)

You cant focus on anything. I tried to stare at a building and it was moving.

Nothing beats launching an EA6B Prowler off the cat. Standing a couple feet from the exhuast. Feels like your head is going to cave in. Oh and the exhaust... I love the smell.
