Roasted duck, rice-a roni, and Thai chili chopped salad.

If only I could go back to a certain spring morning in 2007 and drink a couple of bottles of water before my holographic depth perception test, perhaps I would have had 1 anchor on my uniform instead of two. NAMI whammi for the win. I think that this is my mindset at the moment too. If I could...

With a name like Whistle Pigs Saloon, how could we pass this one up? 1400 NM in a rental sounds like an adventure. All joking aside it is definitely a place that I didn't know existed that I would now like to visit.

E89 looks like a nice spot west of the Mississippi. Kinda Rough River-ish. Lake resort, airport adjacent. Any PIREPS?

There was a time a few moons ago when my Air Wing was tasked with escorting a drone. Just ponder that for a minute or two.

Next thing you know, a lowly NFO (self-loading baggage) is going to win the award. What a time to be alive.

To be fair, I think Windy was developed for sailors. Aviation was just a happy little coincidence.

I have always felt that Down Periscope is a more accurate portrayal of submarine life than Red October.
