"How'd I get here? Ah, it's a long story. I graduated from UMSOT (Undergrad MS Operator training) and test pilot school in '77, back when it was on side 6. Oh, yeah, back then it was something different, we didn't have mobile suits back then, it was MWOTC... Anyways, when the war started, I was a ball pilot for a few weeks, flew three sorties and scored a lucky kill on a Zaku I, and 'cause I was the only one with a kill under my belt, I got chosen to fly with some secret squirrel things on the White Base (back then they just called it the Pegasus). Turns out in order to work on that top secret, feddie zaku ripoff, we couldn't be active EFSF personnel. We got discharged from the service so we could fly for some private shell company. Yeah, we lost MIL benefits, but the pay was so good we figured we'd go for it. We had three weeks to study the manuals and get trained on the simulators while we flew out to our assignment. They put me on the RX-78(a3/4) , but when we were en route to rendezvous to Side 7, the EFSF gave me my walking papers. Turns out, get...get THIS shit: They didn't "need my services any more." Can you believe that? One of the only guys trained on their new, crazy invincible MS, and they fired me.They tossed me, an ace, a qualified TEST PILOT out on my ASS. FOR A G/D FOURTEEN YEAR OLD. Yeah, you know who?! It was the doctor's kid, right? Remember that Tamm Ray guy from the training videos? Yeah, he got HIS kid to be the gundam pilot. Oh, no they tossed all of us. The entire team of mobile suit pilots, gone. Didn't even reassign us. So we're sittin' there, just lookin out the window, watching the stars go by, just angry as all hell, y'know? Fuming. I get an idea, right? So I says to the other guys, who cares? The zeeks need us more than the feddies do, so I went up front, showed the captain our discharge papers, and turned that sum'bitch around. Anyways, long story short, boy do those GM's explode easy! Oh man, jokes on them, the feddies drafted a LOT of stupid 14 year olds to drive those death traps.....so uh, what brings you to Axis?"

this always chafes IRL when people will talk a big parenting game, but then expect you not to hold them to their own standards by waving away lazy parenting w/ “yeah but we’re the exception, my kids misbehave unless I feed them goyslop and ritalin!!! Other parents are awful for doing it, but it’s different when I do!!!”

Could you win a gunfight using one of these w/ a glock 17 held on a camera mount?

THey can only really fly them in boring straight & level, tame flights with acceptable lag. Not really useful in dynamic combat

aww, this was even more boring than I remembered

The orange used to be a target drone, I think. These were remote controlled, blown up in missile tests. Sad! I think there was an earlier coloration more like this, too, but orange is best

Someone was telling me about the swing-wing phantom design and I got sidetracked dreaming about his hot thing

Part of it is that gab is unfortunate to not have smart users like here. Still quite the gold sticker that we had all those DM’s leak only for nothing of note to come out of it other than some tiddy pics and some freak’s weiner shots. We just don’t keep the retards around

Reminds me of those gay antifa riot role sheets, where each job had some gay name like “light mage” for the guy holding the laser to shine at fed eyeballs

It’s not even a joke, it’s life for the guys trying to get entry level flying jobs. The olds are forced to retire from carriers at 65, and they escape dysfunction at home by taking low-paying stuff “for fun” and to “stay active”

really wanna see the ol ups driver to pilot pipeline reverse, would be very fun to see a retired 747 douche driving a box truck (not for the money, it’s because he wants to get away from his wife after spending decades on the road)

Look at that, it’s real!

This too, is history. You learn a lot in this image alone: The boomer probably spat on the nazi heritage, had a total disinterest in the gun’s history aside from it being “the bad guys’ gun” and a cheap shooter.

His kids end up caring only about the money, anyways. At least he was shooting it. These faggots jawing about “nooooo its a piece of HISTORY“ only care because rich olds are willing to pay $10,000 for it. They don’t care about the history, the lineage of the rifle, its place in a family. They see the money being “wasted” and freak out over that.

I’m just sick of it. 200 years from now it’s going to be more interesting to ponder about the way these were treated, appreciated, collected, and loved than it will be to look at a pure, unmolested, factory new rifle.

Nice, very cool.

I’m sick of the faggy “ITS HISTORY DONT CHANGE IT” for guns they made in the millions. Weirdo funky boy garbage like this just makes mine a little more valuable while adding a historically interesting phase to the gun’s history. It’s like worshipping old gun culture so hard we forget that we’re making our own.

in 100 years this thing will be much more fun to look at and research than the average enfield

I love how I know guys who refuse to use throttle locks on their bikes because they’re janky/niggy/dangerous, but someone just invented the same thing as a kind of nigged-up autopilot for your cessna

just clamp that thing onto your yoke tube and boom autopilot! But remember you gotta rip it all off when you descend from cruise or else it’ll maintain control and kill you

sounds like any one of those jewy scifi utopian things about free sex, probably won a nebula award in 75

WHEN I BOGHT MY NEW SKYMASTER I SAW THE OIL RAGS ON THE HEADS AND NOTICED THE POST-BUY AP ONLY PUT IN 7 QUARTS OF OIL AND I TORE HIM A NEW AHOLE…..HAHAHA THAT POOR SUMBITCH SWORE HE PUT IN ALL 8 QTS BUT I SAID BULLSHITTTTT I ONLY SEE 7 ON THAT INDICATOR…….FLYIN HOME I CHECK IT AGAIN AND ADD ANOTHER QUART AND IT STILL ONLY SAYS 7 QUATRS HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

TURNS OUT NO MATTER WHAT IT ONLY READS 7 QUATS…..I FOUND OUT FROM FINDING 3 QTS OF OIL SPRAYED ALL OVER HER TAILFEATHERS LOL HAHAHAH….

FYI if you ever end up getting a plane and you can’t find the service manual make the rounds to the big airshows like OSH, they have a good market for that stuff, just piles of unlabeled stuff that might fit your bird. Know guys who got vintage stuff like an old Army taylor and ended up scrounging up gear assemblies sitting on a table as a mystery part for twenty bucks. Service manuals abound, too, since nobody cares enough to digitize them unless it’s a popular airframe

I still can’t tell…..if you see a post on a BBS forum…….typing like this…..if you’re in for a solid bunch of knowledge dropped…….or just boring boomer ramblings…..hehehe…

…….dont forget the jokes about how fat and gross his wife is too hahaha…….and the interjections aobut needing a beer………lol hahaha….
