Given the quietness of the board I thought I would reply to this again. The HoF event was only a few weeks ago and the first [hopefully not last] AC grad was inducted [WAY TO GO, SAFETY!]. There have been former trainees from back in day when I was a counselor now working as counselors themselves. A...

Yep sadly it's true, they only have ASA 6 day now :( I was pretty upset when i heard too, because i was going to go for 2 8 day sessions next year...i'm going for 2 6 day sessions instead, but still, i don't think 6 days is long enough, i wish they'd have at least kept 8 day since they cancelled 12...

Gordo rarely stops by the forum. Not because he doesn't enjoy it, but he's typically busy with other pursuits. He does stop by from time to time, typically when he hears of some interesting post or has something thoughtful or interesting he wants to share. He's also had trouble with referring to him...

If you only had two or three words, how would you describe Aviation Challenge? Or what two or three words make you think of AC when you hear them?

For example, mine would be "the barn" or "the lake" or "the beefer".

That was a reward for counselor of the week for Intermediate / Mach III Counselors as well as others in the program. I know Spanky flew a couple of times, Joker as well. Not quite. I seem to recall one counselor in particular who was 1 shot shy of having and ACE (under European rules... 5) and stil...

LTC. Bryson is still at the center. He's the Executive VP for Aerospace Programs... basically in charge of the camps and museum.

All, If you will allow me to claim a somewhat-disinterested-third-party perspective* I submit the following. I was there in "the heyday" 10 years ago. I was part of the "Black Knights" I took pride in the fact that "We" did not need presenter staff to teach our kids, or...

Quickly followed by...

"Napalm sticks to kids"

K: "Do you smell that?"

L: "What?"

K: "Do you smell that? Napalm son... Nothing else in the world smells like that...."

....

K: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning.... smells like... Victory."

Should?!? Offered?!? As if there is truly any choice in the matter! Only wings of a golden variety are those which have become tarnished through lack of use and/or ill-fated reputation.

This same counselor (or a clone, there were many) was also tasked with going to a home improvement depot to retrieve 5 gallons of prop wash.

What's the deal with the wings in the profile information next to each post? Who would actually pin on a pair of gold wings? No real man flies with gold wings.

She's referencing a book by the title Boyd by Robert Coram. It's the story of the USAF fighter pilot who changed modern combat and had the ear of the Marine Corps.

I also seem to recall an event involving needing to move a desk from one B-52 office to another. In order to move said desk certain tools were required to disassemble the desk to get it through the door. My recollection is not the most precise, but you should get the idea. Standard disclaimer applie...

Back To Iron Gump, Stories from the Front: And that AC LCT - she left soon after.......I can only imagine why? As I recall the prelude to this event went something along the lines of: Counselor (future AC LCT): {storms into office after being given her first team} I've had it! I do not like kids, I...

Riiiiggghhtt.... and this coming from a man who lusts after a Squid Attack Gnat. Still, just make sure those swabies paint that well earned star and kill info on the bird. FWIW, I'm typing up the request letter to send to WP asking for service history of the 868. Chip, get me the info on the other A...

Other than it being about d*mn time, it's about d*mn time. :) Here's a suggestion for colors for the Phantom: http://knightserrant.org/album?id=59 Tiger stripes. As for visiting Col. Olds. If that really is him, I was serious about driving.... PHABULOUS Phantoms Phorever One last thing.... Napalm st...

Others would be able to provide better detail. But the Sky Warriors program was canceled due to the company running Sky Warriors (out of Atlanta) ceased operations due to insurance problems and a mishap not involving customers.
