• 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 set up...a pilot was getting clearances as normal,and ATC was "vectoring?" him ...suddenly the ATC says.."look out behind,and below you,a U2 coming up out of beale at a high rate of speed"

guy responds..

"well you tell HIM to slow down,cause im peddling as fast as i can,these old beasts werent built for speed"

atc responded with a laugh and told him to make a turn to port...but i just thought it was funny to hear...never heard what the "old beast" was...or where it was going...but i laughed
 
Something to add.

Scanner audio from a Nellis Red Flag range fam flight - 'Digger 11' flight of 4 RAAF FA18s can be heard starting at 01:59:53. Loved the reaction from 'Air Boss' when they requested a fuel dump.
