water.

Yeah, outsource it all to the private sector. Brilliant.

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

In yesterday's testimony, it was clear that this particular flight was indicative of the lack of command Blackwater had over it's own employees. No flight plan was filed as required. The Army navigator along for the ride had to suggest they might be going the wrong way.

Further, Blackwater underreported the number of instances of gunfire by several multiples.

What do you expect when they get carte blanche from our very own out of control cowboy president who disregards the right thing to do when he feels like it.

"You're an X-wing fighter Star Wars man," an NTSB report quoted the plane's co-pilot, Loren Hammer, saying during the flight -- a reference to the dizzying battle in the 1977 film.

"You're [expletive] right. This is fun," the pilot, Noel English, responded.

About eight minutes later, the plane slammed into the wall of the canyon, which was flanked by ridgelines that rose nearly a mile above surrounding terrain.

When rescuers found the wreckage three days later, they discovered one of the passengers had survived the crash only to die of internal bleeding and exposure, the NTSB found.

Sickening.

Fuckers.

Trust me they know it...

Better Blackwater kills service men (and their own) over there, than they do it over here.

- you know who....

Military pilots never hot dog or talk shit! They never take cases of beer for flying like animals and getting their passengers sick! These guys acted like renegades...like some type of adrenaline junkies! I'm outraged! Who ever heard of a military aircraft crashing. If only these were military pilots this type of tomfoolery would have never taken place! Did I mentioned I'm outraged and disgusted?
Sincerely,
People that have never ever ever been in the military and rode military aircraft!

101 notices, "People that have never ever ever been in the military and rode military aircraft!"

I caught a MATS flight from OK City to Baker City, California. We stopped in El Paso, and the pilots and crew went to Mexico. I've been there and stayed in the hotel reading.

Next day, the pilots and crew boarded with cases of tequila and other booze bought cheaply in Mexico. The pilot fishtailed the C47 right after rotation and wagged his farewell to the El Paso airport.

When the first pilot came back to the pisser on the rear door. The other pilot did climbs and dives, so that the other guy couldn't get it started. That lasted about 5 minutes and happened every time one of them came back to relieve themself.

I looked out one time and saw a freight train overtaking us and then passing us as we fought a headwind of 40mph in a plane that does 125 cruising...

Later, I assisted when a chopper (Chinook) went down with 12 drunks on a joyride caught a tree on takeoff, and all died; with two of them taking about a week to suffer out ... that was during the Cuban Crises initiated by a Democratic commander in chief -- nuclear brinksmanship and which makes him the Democratics favorite president of modern times ... and since they are always loyal to their presidents getting themselves wagged by their own tails ...

Sickening.

Honestly, how can you be such a fucking Sally?

Let me guess, your uncle was killed by a pilot in WW2...
Save your usual mock outrage freak.

At least his uncle served, you fucking douce.

douche.

Still need me to get you that job mowing lawns itsy?

Like I tell your pillow pal Robby, I could buy and sell you, Bitch.

And you're tough and good looking too right? Do you believe verything your counselor tells you?

Run along puppet.

So Iraqis killing Americans is bad, but Americans killing Americans is Happy Fun Time, 101?

. that was during the Cuban Crises initiated by a Democratic commander in chief -- nuclear brinksmanship and which makes him the Democratics favorite president of modern times
So, Tad, while I believe it was castro and Krushchev who actually initiated the Crisis by sneaking missiles into Cuba, you sincerely believe averting a nuclear holocaust while disarming an enemy is a BAD thing?

You ever get the feeling the Fighty Rightys are really really desperate to put any kind of lipstick on Bush's Iraq Pig?

Yeah, cause that's exactly what I said cocklips...

101: Sorry, I took your serious comentary as sarcasm.

My bad.

At least his uncle served, you fucking douce.

I just hope all of the Dems on the Limbaugh thread don't see that he is calling me a phony soldier or they'll rip poor itsy apart...
God help him if Harry Reid gets a load of this!

Yep people act like assholes with dangerous equipment in military. Just because this is true doesn't make it excusable and if it is discovered the asshole pilots never get to fly again since a crash generally ruins the career of the CO for the unit if negligence/booze etc is discovered.

But to excuse behavior or even consider it within the boundaries of "normal" activity for a contractor who is supposed to be supplying "experts"? Sorry company gets fucked especially if it is part of a pattern of behavior.

And the one thing you didn't mention fucktard is that when someone dies in the military and destroys expensive toys in the process everyone connected gets reamed out.

Seriously get a fucking clue.

101,

You have to realize that the weaker party wants Blackwater to be the bad guys and when someone like you comes along and points out the fact that they are just like everyone else, it blows their case wide open.

Poor furyhole. It will be ok.

Why in the flying fuck would I mention what happens to the CoC? How is it pertinent to the topic at hand stupid? You know what I think sugar plum? I think you can't help but reply to my posts regardless of the fact you have nothing important to say.

The whole mock out rage at the end is priceless too. "Get a clue." Too funny.

Go shave your moms back you pud.

They just make a lot more money than our Soldiers. They get their contracts by donating to the GOP and Bush. Oh, and weren't accountable.

No difference, really.

Chairpoodle thinks that we shouldn't be pissed that one of our soldiers died a slow death from exposure and internal bleeding over three days because pilots are hot dogs all the time in the military.
Why do you hate America, Chairpoodle?
Maybe the guy who died a slow death had a service job while not serving in the military so his life wasn't worth much anyways, right?

"You're an X-wing fighter Star Wars man," an NTSB report quoted the plane's co-pilot, Loren Hammer, saying during the flight -- a reference to the dizzying battle in the 1977 film."

They were more like the idiot alien pilot in Independence Day who ran into a cliff wall after failing to shoot down Will Smith.

Why do you hate America, Chairpoodle?

It's not so much Chair hates America (just the parts that don't idolise GWB)as it is he's locked himself into having to support and defend every fuck-up under Bush's regime because to accept the reality of Bush's failures would be too much for him. It's gotta be tough defending the guy who let 9-11 happen, fucked up in Iraq so badly and basically walked away from the WOT in afghanistan, and to have done it for over 6 years now.

Here is Chairpoodle once again claiming an imaginary victory.

Sad individual.
