Good morning everyone. My family and I unfortunately missed Sun n' Fun this year and my kids have been not-so-subtly accusing me of depriving them of aviation awesomeness. I figured I'd ask the crowd...what are the best airshows you'd recommend for seeing cool airplanes and getting to interact with the flight crews?
6th Gen Fighters and unmanned stealth aircraft with offensive capabilities continue to be a focal point for potential future conflicts.
After their record setting deployment, the Sailors and Marines on the USS Ford are (hopefully this time) coming home, following their significant presence and actions in the Middle East. Two Carriers remain in the region as the tentative ceasefire and negotiations continue.

Since the new BD update, I’ve lost access to my previous profile, my active subscription, and my interview prep course. My subscription was valid through the end of August, but I’m currently unable to view any of that content. Additionally, my profile now shows only 80% completion, even though it was fully completed before the update. It also shows that I no longer have any connections or previous DM conversations. Is there a way to restore or regain access to what was lost during the update?
Have any of you ever seen "Behind Enemy Lines" with Owen Wilson? Or is that just for the old folks in the room? Well...standby, because my money is on "Part 2" being produced soon. As someone who recently retired after 20 years of training for the exact "Bail-Out, Bail-Out, Bail-Out" scenario and how to Evade the enemy to affect your own rescue...I was captivated by this story. I know this is a few weeks old now, but I cannot wait to see the interview or read the book!
Someone made the comment to me (clearly not a military person) that they thought it was such a waste of money to lose C-130s and an A-10 in the rescue of a single pilot. That exact mentality is unfortunately way too common among folks that do not/have not served. The fact that our military dedicates an entire force package, mission qualification, and assets to execute the CSAR (combat search and rescue) mission is one of the things that set our military apart. "You put your life on the life, and we've got your back if something goes wrong." It's something that is indescribable. But it's something that enhances our capabilities. It was always such an honor to work with the Spec Ops and CSAR side of the house. God bless those troops!
BD Fam,
I hope you are all enjoying the new website! I think you'll find the information flow to be even more efficient on your road to wings.
I wanted to highlight this recent article from the Air Force Times on the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Air Force budget:
Key takeaways include a big push to expand flying hours and remedy jet health for our aviators. Hopefully, this will keep us all flying at a more consistent rate with a healthier fleet into the future.
Cheers!

Hey BogiDope Fam! Check out this article about the continued pilot shortage in the AF and what Congress is proposing we do about it!
Obviously applicable for all my rated brothers out there, but also applicable for my rushees as well as you guys consider the macro hiring environment.
