All right. Created Planefag Q+A at >>13005

 

Baker add to dough?

 

I'll try to keep an eye on it, answer questions, coach those who wish to learn, and hopefully a REAL planefag will help staff it. I consider myself a backup planefag even though Red Arrow promoted me to Flight Leftenant last year, kek.

 

Qualifications for planefagging:

  1. Desire to learn

  2. Helps if you're actually a pilot, or at least have been a frequent traveler

  3. Military experience a definite plus

  4. A knack for observing and remembering visual patterns. A sense for things that look different or were important before.

  5. Willing to spend a shitload of time screencapping, annotating, and archiving your caps.

 

Buckle up! Planefagging awaits!

Dear God

We ask your blessing upon our President, upon all those who are helping him reestablish America as a limited government constitutional republic, upon our military and law enforcement, and upon the anons on both boards who are serving tirelessly to implement Your will.

Bless and protect them all. We ask in Jesus' name.

Amen.

I'm sorry, I missed that. No slight intended, just did not see any post mentioning comms. Very tired, been a l-o-n-g day.

Why do we need safe haven on /comms/?

Thank you.

Currently seeing 91 military aircraft (mil a/c) over continental U.S. (CONUS).

Different numbers are "normal" at different times of day and days of the week.

Glancing down the column, sorted by Column 3 "Type", for interesting ones.

There's a B52 bomber up, pic related.

Notice that it's highlighted yellow on the (crowded) map, and it's highlighted green in the list. So I don't need to mark it, as it stands out even though the radar display is quite crowded.

 

What it's doing? I have no idea.

Many times we assume training activities.

Pilots are required to maintain a certain number of flight hours.

If we follow through on the suggested audit process, the result would be unifying the boards again ... and we'd be overrun with shills again ... and lose our comfy and be unable to work again amidst the heavy distractions of shillery ...

 

Tell me again why this is a desirable course of action?

I'm not in favor.

Don't you understand? We are here on QRB because we are able to be effective here. We are effective because distraction is kept to a minimum, and the cameraderie of frens creates a pleasant, uplifting, supportive atmosphere.

We don't WANT to be in the crossfire of the shills again.

Their insiders create generic breads hours in advance and lock them. When a new bread is needed, they unlock one of these stale breads, edit the bread number, and off they go.

How do I know? Because I use toastmaster and I can hover over numbered breads and see the post count in each. Some are stale, burned, hours old, yet have a current post count and are in use. I hover over number 9037 (currently seeing 5 of those) and several of them have different edited numbers that appear on cursor hover.

So, incidentally, they have also broken the tools that oldfags use.

>I personally think they were finklefag.

Evidence suggests that is true.

I reported finkefag probably a dozen times over 9000 breads, not for content (which I abhored) but simply for spamming by repetition. Nothing was ever done to remove it, ever.

 

Now shall we turn the page and talk about current habbenings & news & Q & stuff like dat and not about board vs. board gossip?

It is so fucking simple.

Male and female He created them.

Anything else -- other than those genetic accidents you mentioned -- is an insult to the Creator and an attempt to degrade His Creation.

Planefag learn something new every day:

USMC Lockheed KC-130J Harvest Hawk in San Diego vicinity. Never seen this before.

Cargo plane equipped with newer weapons package.

 

https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/systems/harvest-hawk.htm

 

Harvest HAWK

Hercules Airborne Weapons Kit

 

The Harvest HAWK (Hercules Airborne Weapons Kit) is a modular weapons/sensor kit designed for the KC-130J aircraft, consisting of a fire-control console located in the aircraft's cargo compartment, an AN/AAQ-30 target sight system (TTS) with infrared, electro-optic sensors, and a TV camera. Munitions consist of a launcher for 4 HELLFIRE missiles and a 10-shot Griffin missile launcher in the cargo compartment. Harvest HAWK also provides surveillance to disrupt improvised explosive device emplacements. The system's television monitors provide detailed ground images, allowing operators to engage targets with laser-guided munitions with pinpoint accuracy. The system is capable of hitting time-sensitive, as well as stationary targets. When fitted to the KC-130J aircraft, missiles are mounted on a wing pylon on the left side of the aircraft, as well as rear stations. This allows the aircraft to mount a refueling pod on the right side of the aircraft to continue to perform a limited mid-air refueling function.

 

To fight more effectively in the demanding operational environment in Afghanistan, Marines on the ground turned to Naval Aviation for a precise weapon that could be fielded as rapidly as possible and deliver persistent presence, intelligence, and high-volume fire. Responding to a mission requirement in record time, Naval Aviation integrated the Harvest Airborne Weapons Kit (HAWK) with intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and weapon systems that allowed KC-130J Super Hercules to provide close air support while taking advantage of the aircraft's ability to stay on station for up to 3 hours. The modular nature of the kit allowed the KC-130J aircraft to continue to be used in a variety of other roles, including aerial resupply, battlefield illumination, and troop and cargo transport in southwestern Afghanistan.

 

The resulting system was developed as 4 individual "capabilities" in order to get systems into the field as fast as possible. The roll-on/roll-off sensor suite and fire control equipment is referred to as Harvest HAWK Capability I. The Capability I sensor suite is designed to be modular, either being mounted to the rear or below the left inboard fuel tank. The AN/AAQ-30 TTS, common to Harvest HAWK, the UH-1Y, and the AH-1Z, was selected over the L-3/Wescam MX-15 during development.

 

The weapons components of the system were broken into 3 additional capabilities. A left pylon mounted missile component was Capability II, a gun component was Capability III, and a rear mounted missile system was Capability IV. The 30mm Mk 44 Mod 0 cannon was tested in response to the Capability III requirement, but the US Marine Corps decided against the weapon, reportedly due to limited accuracy. As of 2012, no weapon for Capability III had been selected. The Capability II component was tested and fielded with both the HELLFIRE missile, using the M299 launcher, but was also planned to include the DAGR and/or APKWS/APKWS II weapon. Testing for Capability IV included testing of both the GBU-44/B Viper Strike and Griffin missiles (the initial Griffin A was actually an unpowered glide bomb). The Griffin weapon was fielded as a Capability IV component, using first a 10-round launcher fitted to the KC-130J aircraft's cargo ramp, referred to as "Gunslinger." This was later replaced in late 2011 with a 10-round launcher that could be fitted in the rear paratroop door, referred to as the "Derringer Door," which prevented the aircraft from having to open the cargo compartment to launch the weapons.

You're welcome here, of course.

The sometime use of cyrillic characters creates a visual challenge for those who read Russian. But you knew that...

Beards are a muslim requirement for men aren't they?

Someone changed the fashion to try and make muslim facial hair seem mainstream.

Just like they show porn females with no natural hair, to make pre-pubescent individuals appear more "normal"

 

Fight fight fight!

Roger. I'm over the anguish and pain but understand since it was just last week I was barely able to function after the Notables were taken out. Wrecked my workflow and sapped my desire to participate.

I hear ya.

Question: When Obama was Prez, HE was POTUS. When Dubya was Prez, HE was POTUS. In popular parlance.

 

How do you UNbrand those past executives?

 

Some the Page/Strzok tweets use the abbrev 'POTUS' referring to Obama. How do you cleanse that stink?

Precise language is my thing. Not always successful, but have an innate desire for precision in language. Long exposure to lawfaggishness and engineerness and codefagishness tends to ingrain that habit in a person. I've taken some (in-house) marketing courses, so not entirely clueless to the idea of branding.

Kleenex vs. facial tissue

SUV vs. station wagon

etc.
