I think you mean there are two VC-25As that can act as AF1… there's only one Air Force 1, and that's when dipfuck mcgee, I mean POTUS, is on board. +1 Any AF bird carrying the POTUS is AF1, same thing for the Marine Helo transports (Marine 1). I don't know if he is trusting enough to fly Navy 1 or Army 1 though.

Too true. And once you own that first house, there's never a weekend where there is not something you should be doing. Sure, you might ignore it and go skydiving, but you should be weeding the flower beds. In that case, you'll both be invited. Going to look at one tonight!

That depends on the ripstop used. The squares are visible when you look at the fabric. For darker colors, you may need to put some sort of light behind it, though I wouldn't suggest you just take your hot lantern or similar. If in doubt, take it to a rigger and ask their advice.

If they're smaller than 1 ripstop square, it's not worth the repair. It would depend on the location of the hole and what the grouping is (several in one area or across the canopy from each other).

I believe that Strong requires 8 year inspections on their gear to remain legal (at least in the USA, I think). They would be your best bet as far as pricing for inspection. I don't know any other places that can do the required check.

I betcha they are used to letting the autopilot follow the glide slope in, and since it was OOS, they weren't very proficient in hand flying the bird in. It's pretty easy to see a PAPI turning more red and know that's not good, if you're looking that is...

Actually already talked to them about it, they've pre-approved me for a decent amount (I went high) and I should be hearing from their local reps tomorrow/Tues. I'm looking forward to it!

Thanks for all the help so far guys. I fully intend on getting at least a good inspector (have a few people that I can get recommendations from) to go over everything with a fine tooth comb. My bank actually offers a referral service for agents, so I may go that route. I've heard nothing but good things from the other people that have used it. Even when they don't like the agent, they call the bank, tell them that and are assigned a new agent. Looking at loan calculators, it's actually sad, I'm paying more for rent now than I would be paying on a mortgage with no down payment on a $150k house. Though my thought is to try to get that payment down to around what Uncle Sam gives me every month. If stuff hits the fan and I need to start whoring myself out for money again, it would be nice to know that most if not all of my mortgage payment is already taken care of every month. I'm also inclined to believe that many people in this area are smoking crack when it comes to pricing their homes... they could at least TRY to make the place look good for that much cash!

I unfortunately love the exact spot my apartments are in, short commute to work (less than 10 mins even with normal traffic) and 30 mins from 2 DZ's, an hour to another. Plenty of stuff around the neighborhood, so I want to stay in this area. Preferably with only right turns to get to the freeway too (that would be great). I qualify for a VA home loan (which will guarantee 400k+ but I have no thought in my head I should even try to come close to that), great credit and a good stable job. I figure now's as good time as any. I'm going to try to get back into contact with an old co-worker to see if I can't get her agents name... she LOVED that agent.

So, looks like my rent is going up yet again in my apartment. Been toying with the idea of buying a home, any tips/tricks and things to do/avoid? Anyone now any good realtors in the Tampa area?

I'm no aeronautical engineer, but doesn't that look like the bottom half or so of the prop isn't getting a good air stream? Looks to me like it would be horribly inefficient.
