I'd like to see the east coast strike eagle or raptor demo pilot do every game.. For the whole game.

But if they're in a war zone, the tribute flights of a mustang, a sabre, an f 104 an eagle and a raptor would be pretty cool.

Or a c17 refueling off a tanker in contact position would be a nice hat tip to the logistics train required to do modern mobility.

I think we focus too much on aviation for pregames. It's the boots on the ground that matter.

So for a tribute, they should bring in a M1 Abrams formation to run across the field.

Maybe we can get Jerry Jones to walk across the field at the same time, I kind of envision something like this happening:

With a live fire exercise in the direction of Auburn?

I'd second that! Nothing like an AR at 2:00 AM over the Atlantic with moderate chop.

It doesn't matter, if our secondary is on the field when they fire the tank off the shell will just go right on by everyone untouched.

We could push an F35 through the stadium.

Way too big.



the best thing there is to lift it by helicopter and then just dump it into the stadium.

Default Open time with IOE posted

I either made a wonderful play or dug a deep hole for myself. I picked up a 2 day with posted IOE on the entire pairing. Checked both the IOE Capt and FO who both had the training on their monthly schedules. The training was posted on the open time trip and I'm hoping CS just overlooked this vs. outsmarting myself (typical).

Is CS currently assigning recovery flying for a dropped trip on the ER.? I know if the student is AWOL I'm responsible for the trip but hoping that isn't the case. Haven't had a deal like this since moving off the Maddog so I'm a IOE pairing rookie in these past few months.

Thanks.
