There is way too much contradiction happening here! How bout less ''legend in my own mind stuff'' and more clarification. Oh wait, the rules seem to be designed to reduce the ability to glean clarification!

. . . AND juuuusst to clarify, I've crashed five jets, so that makes me a Maverick too!
1. EuroFirebird: Flutter while rolling, low altitude, inverted.
2. Hotspot: High speed turn, aircraft exploded into confetti due to extreme differential pressure and flutter. (same engine 1st Jet had.)
3. F-14: Jet never fully pulled out of dive because the airspeed was too slow for the wing configuration. (it almost pulled out though, till the ground got in the way.)
4: F-15: Slow spooling turbine and extended speedbrake precluded attempted go-around due to another aircraft still being on the runway.
5: F-18: Slow spooling turbine and too much elevator mixed when flaps came down caused airspeed to decay too far thus, a high rate of decent ensued and jet was almost lost.
(jet survived, but pilot's onboard classified touch down as crash; same engine as #4)
Now of course, none of these were my fault, but still earn me the distinction and entry into the elite Mavericks club, I mean what other waiver can you get which will allow such camaraderie?

The real one flies like crap, too, if you somehow end up slow and the wings are still full aft...at least that's what I've been told, never done that myself, you understand, just to be clear here (just like the ball turns red if you are real low coming aboard the boat...never seen that first-hand either, just been told about it)

Repeat all you want...then you can be incorrect a whole bunch of times.

Dude, you fork over the cash to get me all set up, and you'll never hear another whiney peep out of me. Till then it sounds like your quite the big fish in a small pond.
Perhaps you've heard of our recession? [:-]

It's way back there...it's deep to center field...it's going...it's going...it's going...it's gone! It's a grand slam ladies and gentlemen...a base clearing home run and the game is over!

Once again...and this is really getting repetitive...why in the hell are you worried about getting a waiver? If you don't have a jet YOU DON'T NEED ONE!

Well EXCUSE ME PAL!
Do you thing you could extract your cranium from your rectal area long enough to realize some people are following this thread because they have a real interest in joining your exclusive little club of jet jockeys at some point?
Even if it's not today, I plan on using the information on this thread that is actually worth reading when I am ready to get my waiver.
Dude...relax it's only a hobby. Getting your panties in a bunch isn't helping anyone here!

I have no problem what so ever helping people learn about how to get a waiver to fly jets. Did I once ever tell you that you don't have the right to learn about turbine waivers or jets? No. The people here are trying to tell you what you need to do to get it. But you are not listening. Instead you insist on complaining about the process. I simply pointed out the fact that you don't need a waiver unless you actually have a jet (yours or someone elses) to use it. And around here and most other places, you have to use a turbine powered jet to get a waiver.

Hey Boli,
I was perusing my latest Fly RC mag and the Fla Jets pics, and saw your turboprop...nice! BTW, do you need a tuirbine waiver for a turboprop? And what's this business of Tiano calling you a "pineapple"? Guess he made up for it by referring to you as 'loveable'.
Cheers,
Sluggo

Sluggo,
Model Airplane News did a write up on the Tucano last month and called me "Billy Fuentes" in the article so maybe Frank was taking the heat off of me by calling me "pineapple" I guess. [8D] "loveable"? That's me...just ask me...I'll tell ya!
As to needing a waiver for a turboprop...the answer is yes, but there is not a "turboprop waiver" like there is a heli waiver...you are covered by a regular turbine waiver.
Back at ya!
