Hey folks, I got what I need for the C-17 cartoon, so thanks to everyone who offered their help! I haven’t even begun to look through all the voice actor submissions, so if you’re one of the about 300 hopefuls (not even exaggerating,) don’t lose hope yet.
For the record, I know F-22 pilots in the real Air Force use the Combat Edge mask.

FIRST! is the worst place to be when someone has that damn blue shell…
I wonder if that’s the FIRST time his connection was lost?
It is all good and funny. Now we really know what goes on the front end of the spear
Somehow I can see pilots playing DS in flight…its not like they have much use otherwise
i’ve seen it on the kc-135 before
I knew thats what the really used IFDL for…
And Im pretty sure the entire Combat Edge get-up is used for all F-22 control stick actuators.
HAHA! I hate it when my iPhone datalink goes down in flight at bugsmasher levels! have to pause my texting while piloting activities!
Glad to see Barbie is getting some hours, been a while! He needs to stay current on using his joystick, STS.
I bet Barbie has a pin-up of the F-35 helmet.
That helmet is pretty seksi.
Very much like the new Coinforce Ad that’s got some interesting backdrop…ahem…habuuhhhh…oh sorry..Hey look-it-that, the zipper is to the left
Makes me wonder why I’m still an enlisted groundpounder…
Because without you nothing in the military would get done.
Go enlisted people
Our squadron’s new MACH helmet looks pretty cool.
I wonder how many pilots snuck things like that into their aircraft.
I never heard any stories, but when I was at langley, the F-22 was still new, so they probably skipped sex just to get their flight time in.
LOL MARIO KART, NICE. Wow, that flight must be really uneventful. Makes me wonder if this has ever actually been attempted in real life… although it would be somewhat difficult to press those tiny little DS buttons with big ol’ pilot gloves…
well, I remember two NWA pilots, sans gloves, playing with their laptops and overshooting (STS?) not too long ago
I believe they were going over the company’s new time table slides in Excel or something to that order. Took a flight attendant asking them why they hadn’t started their descent yet. If they were that distracted, what else could they have missed?
i like how changing my gravatar doesnt automaticaly change every other post ive made
apparently that doesnt work…
nope. and when you do change, I think it goes back in time. when I set mine up, all previous blank images changed to the gravatar.
Weird mine didn’t…
Hmmmmmmm… Still won’t work lame sauce.
So where’s the cigarette lighter plug in or is there one green light too many (or am I used to dealing with older hardware)?
If I were to guess, the F-22 being modern, probably has a USB port or two and a docking station.
For NDS system recharging? Maybe, though I’ve not seen an USB cable for that purpose. NDS can hit some limited WiFi or do wireless play, though the range is way short…
Farva, is Red Queen flying wing here?
Probably Bert is flying Wing, since he was walking with Barbie in the previous comic.
Well, maybe I’m reading a bit into the text in the second frame, just before the “Oh crap” STS
I don’t own a DS, so I didn’t know that’s what the other light was. I just looked at pics of them online.
Lol, that is now my favorite strip! Keep em comin Farva. I could see myself doing that in the future. Lovin it.
fail.
Hitting refresh my first time worked, but a lot of posts about deleting your temp internet file cache.
But, I have not tried changing a gravatar, I like my disgruntled Farva drawn aafes employee gravatar.
And yes, Farva knows, I am a smartass!
To be honest, I like that gravatar too, cause it looks kinda like my dad! (AAFES manager, actually)
Damn! I just LOOKED at my gravatar settings and I traveled in time!
you dont post on yahoo forums concerning the new iPhone do you?
@RobertM……
sorry for above posts, for whatever reason they went higher…
gotta wonder, after yesterdays strip, does Barbie still have ray-bans on under helmet visor? If so, how can he see outside, much less the video game?
You’re forgetting that he’s a fighter pilot. His status in the universe is equivalent to that of a god’s. If he needs to see through his ray-bans AND visor, then IT SHALL BE DONE. Especially when it’s something as important as playing a DS.
Gotta love whoever invented “autopilot” lol
That would be Lawrence Sperry. Mr. Sperry was also supposedly the founding member (STS) of the Mile High Club . . .
…and the reason we think he was the first member was because a seaplane he was flying crashed into the sea while he and his passenger were both in the back of the plane…
Behold the awesome powers of the site moderator/owner! Though it does make my other comment seem a little silly now.
And isn’t Barbie being a little premature celebrating the lead on the 1st lap?
Holy time travel batman! I realize the time stamps for replies to specific posts will make them “out of order” but check out RobM’s post time vs the post time for this one
(Unless it’s just my browser “mixing it up” for gits and shiggles.)
you got it right in your first post. Farva owns this slice of the Universe!
Farva, I hope you know tomorrow is Top Gun Day?
I was unaware…
Well now you do. May 13 is Top Gun Day.

It’s the perfect excuse to do anything Top Gun inspired
And here I thought having a comic strip about a fighter pilot was the perfect excuse.
Needs moar Top Gun on a day dedicated to Top Gun
I like the AF Blues mask better anyhow Farva
I used to be a Plane Capitain on F/A-18 E/F’s, and I never had to fish a DS out from under a seat, but I did have to fishout a few cell phones…and boy did those pilots pay to get thier stuff back…usually a case of beer.
Oh wow. Farva check out TopGunDay.com. It really is tomorrow.
Although it happens to be blocked on Govt. computers…
You know, the Raptor should have a proximity alert, just like the Firefly.
This is ironic, we were just having this conversation in the shop the other day about when they implement the F-35s the pilots having an xbox up there and playing Ace Combat for training. They say that on the F-35 training simulators teenagers do better on it then some pilots! ha
Love the CoinForce ad. Is that new? It’s the first time I recall seeing it. Of course, after back-to-back-to-back remotes (Osan-Shemya-Woomera), my short term memory isn’t what it used to be.
That game is the only reason I bought a DS. Four years later, I’m still hooked to that and other games, and have upgraded to a DSi.
Btw, anyone notice that reflective belt humor has seeped into the Jenny comix?? Hee hee. http://jennyspouse.com/?p=303
Kick azz on the CoinForce sponsor ad.
This reminds me of High School, no lie…
So being the newbie on here, how does one get this so called gravatar and attach it to one’s posts?
Also, I concur on the other Coinforce ad posts.
@ Black Optimus from 2 days ago: Give me a minute to figure out what the “dard side” is and I might just have to get on the Blues forum…been lurking there too… you AF guys seem to have the best websites…prolly cuz you have so much time on your hands (STS)
Go to the front page of this site and the 4th commentary down “So You Want an Avatar For YOur Comments Here?” and just follow the directions. It’s EASY!
Thanks
Im just sayin I may have had an epic battle on the DS in flight before (6 person battle). To be fair it was an 18 hour flight
Has anyone been affected by the recent weather down around Tinker?

@RobertM
Waiting for the wormhole to close in 15 minutes, so the time warps will die down.
OK, now this is just getting creepy.
