• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The problem with operating military jets from civilian airfields. All the little speed bumps when taxiing. Still if you go by NFR flight procedures, its not such a problem.

NFR! No Frick'n Rules. Just overtake them.

LOL!
 
You see some strange combinations of aircraft on the taxiways at airports that have both military and civilian sides. I remember flying out of Fukuoka (formerly Itazuke AB) on a JAL 727. Taxiway made a turn so I saw a few of the planes waiting ahead of us: USN C-117, couple Cessna/Piper type twins, a JASDF F-86 and another Japanese commercial jet.
