communications guy is missing from the 15e

Known as a “Wizzo” in the AF.

F-15E has two man crew.

Red tail insignia on the pic of vertical stab is from the 494th “Panthers”. Definitely from an F-15

PJ’s doing work getting the pilot and wizzo back to safe territory.

No one, repeat NO ONE , can get aircrews back home safe like USAF Pararescue units.


Best of the best….sir!


(Edit… and before anyone tries to give me chit about it let it be known I spent over three years of my career at “The Heath” ;)

Been thinking on this question for some time and haven’t come across any DNR data on the subject.

Grew up fishing Lake Eufaula (Al). One major tournament hosting site (Lakepoint Marina). Every big tourny group that comes into town (B.A.S.S. Etc) has their release tank/trailer on site, get’s hundreds of the best quality bass each day of the tourney and then probably release them in the same spot as always ( Cowikee Creek)

Through the years this has absolutely ruined the balance of the river system in the area. Up river, which formerly was the land of hawgs, rarely accounts for anything over 4 lbs anymore. For 30-40 years quality fish caught there are moved ( many before/during the spawn) down to the lake 30 miles away, never to return.
I guess I’m asking if you fellas have seen similiar results in other lakes/ river systems and if there is any way to get DNR involved in forcing the biggies to document where the fish are released ( varying each drop off point to different areas of the lake/river systems) to help revitalize once great areas to their former glory instead of merely taking the easy ( i.e. lazy) way out and releasing them all at the tourney site every day.


I’ll shut up and listen now…

I second Guntersville or some of the other Tennessee River lakes. They should be in prespawn stages where as Lanier may be post spawn given the warm spells we have had this year already.
Not taking anything away from Lanier cause those magnum spots are good fun, but herring lakes are just “different”….and not always in a good sense.

Just my dos centavos

Monday morning and I’m fatigued already

When you plug in a minn kota charger it allows you to choose which type of battery charging profile on which bank/lead.

I have mine set to charge my cranking/electronics AGM on lead #1 and 2,3 and 4 set to charge my LiTime lithium trolling motor batteries

Just put three in my boat and am more than happy with them

Gonna be learning a new version of cornhole in dat prison

Good to know

In retrospect I had forgotten about one incident about 6 months ago where the wind pushed me in on a bank as I was getting back in to load up on the trailer. Hit the prop at idle on an unseen rock near the dock I was moving away from and IIRC roughed up one blade worse than the other two. Blended it when I got home and never thought about it again until yesterday on the drive home from getting a new prop.

Expensive lesson
(insert head-banging emoji)

Which looks about like this in real life ;)

Gotcha

250 pro 4-stroke.
When I researched them I found the FS , while designed for four strokes, was being used more on heavy hulls like multi species boats etc.
The XS has a shorter hub and while designed more for high performance two-strokes also works best on faster hulls running the pro xs four-strokes. Just losses a couple of mph on top vs the Fury 3, but better everywhere else… or so I hear
