Where I can I find the official rules for scoring in Woodoku? Exactly how is the score calculated? I can’t find this info anywhere. Thanks!

I’m not in a tail-dragger with a mechanic out front. I can see the prop just fine. It’s clear.

On my first Delta flight (1999) I ordered a beer and tipped the FA. She looked at me weird and I overheard her chuckling to her colleague that “a college kid just gave me a tip.”

I have always wondered why tipping the employee who just sold and served you an alcoholic drink is normal EVERYWHERE but on an airplane.

Of note: I’m not complaining!

MILPER 24-017 just came out, and now National Guard and Reserve Warrant Officer Aviators are invited to apply for Experimental Test Pilot training. This is a first, and I think a great change.

Your State Aviation Officer (COMPO2) or HRC (COMPO3) must conditionally release you, then if selected you will go through Call to Active Duty and become COMPO1. Once on active duty you will attend the fixed wing course, if you haven't already (5 year ADSO), then go to Naval Test Pilot School (4 year ADSO concurrent with any others), then in nearly all cases be assigned to the Redstone Test Center. Most Warrant Officer XPs remain in the test community for the remainder of their career.

Does anyone know the stories behind GEN Richardson's 7 Air Medals?

In reading about the very impressive GEN Laura Richardson, I noted that she has 7 Air Medals. From her bio and Wikipedia, it seems that she only has one Aviation deployment to Iraq as the 5/101 Battalion Commander in 2003. In the Army GWOT years, earning 7 Air Medals in one deployment would be an amazing achievement for a salty flying-every-night CW3 OH-58 pilot. To do so as a UH-60 Battalion Commander is truly remarkable. Does anyone have any war stories they are willing to share? Thanks.

How bad is it commuting out of HSV? I’m considering applying to the airlines but I’ve read so many cautionary tales about commuter life. Where is your base and how hard is it to get to/from? Thanks!
