But to then be called racist .. ignorant .. redneck .. dumbass .. by others, including a mod.

That makes the score 4 to one in my books

Pot and kettle?????

Re: Obama ends program that let pilots carry guns

A firearm in the cockpit is just one last line of defence. We all know what a joke airport screening and ramp access can be. When the day comes that it fails and the bad guys are coming thru the reinforced door, you and your pax would be damn glad that you have it... X2 Not to be insensitive, ...bu...

Re: This has to be expensive...C-17 Gear up-Bagram

I know nothing about the C-17, but the a/c that I fly definitely let me know that I am f**king up if I try to set landing flap, or reduce power .. and the Goodyears aren't hanging in the breeze.
I would think that this bird would have similar "tell the pilot not to be a dumbass" systems
