i hate that post that's like “we would've gotten a better trilogy if they'd just let rian johnson write all three films than playing hot potato with jj” like i get the point it's trying to make but you're forgetting that rj was fighting tooth and nail for the tlj r*ylo narrative since day 1 so you do realise we would've just gotten the same trilogy as we got now.......

further Thoughts on the trilogy as a whole and a few troc spoilers under the cut

also you KNOW that even if jj COULD have had a hand in saving it... there’s no saving a screenplay written by the guy who did the justice league films

No Comment. No Thoughts. Head Empty. everything post tfa was doomed from the start

have you SEEN the screenwriters for tfa? THAT’S why that one was so good, THAT’S why tfa succeeded as an excellent reboot of a long-dormant franchise. kasdan and arndt and jj should've been on for ALL THREE, and if they couldn’t, then a hiatus was the way to fucking go. rian never should have Touched it, never should have even Looked in its direction.

tfa had the essence of sw BECAUSE the essence of sw wrote it! tlj and tros isn’t sw!!!!

they rly just tried to make Anakin..... 2! with kylo... but somehow... even Worse. you can’t make an anakin story Without showing kylo’s motives and morals - oh, except, you Did show his motives and morals, and they were in no way redeeming whatsoever! anakin had a whole ARC of complexity that allows for endless discussion on morality and justifiability that led him to earn his redemption. all kylo had was a blood tie to han and leia, which!!!! if anything!!!!!! made his motives and morals WORSE, knowing that he had the most IDEAL most loving and perfect upbringing and he still chose the dark side. that makes any love received from han or leia or luka or even fucking rey completely insignificant because we ALREADY KNOW what it means to him. all of this shit was so worthless!!!!!!!! fuck!

and i have a lot to say about rian johnson because i Cannot for the life of me believe the guy behind BRICK (2005) was taken on for tlj, WHILE TFA WASN’T EVEN FINISHED YET. i really didn’t think this had to be said but that is just NOT how you make a Trilogy. that is how you make Three Separate Films and guess what! that is exactly what we got! and it honestly saddens me to think that the guy behind the beautiful 6 minute music video ‘oh baby’ by lcd sound system, inspired by some of his greatest work in looper (and even brick!), would then take the absolute worst of his worst and apply that to a star wars franchise that desperately needed his best. and there’s something hilarious about that too, that you have this huge sandbox FULL of belief-suspending ridiculousness and STILL somehow make it fail? make it atrocious? that takes skill. it’s like that one post that was like “you have to ACTUALLY put EFFORT into making something this bad” like it’s no longer silly mistakes or lacklustre energy, this was ACTIVE sabotage.

the fact rian Had the Understanding of the core concepts of star wars right in his hands, but somehow completely missed the entire point of them? if you look at the films he screened to his story group during the development of tlj... this handful of culturally and historically significant war films that just seem like he screened for aesthetic and reference purposes only instead of actually exploring and analysing the importance and criticism of the exonerating war propaganda and racist source materials and using these films to inspire the actual groundwork of some of the root themes of current climates and today’s culture in a sw universe... i bet big bucks on the fact that twelve o clock high was only screened to inspire the air battle on crait (red salt planet) and because of ‘VIII Bomber Command’ because ha ha hee hee tlj is episode VIII and hoo hoo hoo *you’ve been gnomed.mp4*

the general rule is this: when reading ANY report on tlj and tros and something like “the characters came first” is mentioned, just exit out the window, it’s already a botched article/thinkpiece.

i’m also thinking a lot about how arndt translated his first draft for tfa into a script for eight months and said he needed 18 more, which disney and jj said no to, so he left, and IMMEDIATELY after jj kept saying how relieved he was that the release date was delayed and gave him more time that he also needed. like.. you had your lesson then and there. did they learn from it? *disney forcing rian to write tlj at the same time as tfa was still being made* No!

i am ALSO thinking about how they had considered fincher, brad bird, jon favreau, del toro, even getting development suggestions by spielberg.......... and rian johnson is who they called up for tlj.... my head is... empty.

just give the fucking thing to taika waititi he understands the nuances of the socio-political climates of sw’s narratives built around a guise of a fun sci-fi fantasy adventure-drama. he understands. that’s literally the very definition of his style of writing and directing. Makes You Think Why The Mandalorian Is A Hit.... they already gave him 2 mandalorian episodes just give him the whole franchise i cant take it anymore.

AND NOW THEY’RE GIVING RIAN JOHNSON A WHOLE NEW TRILOGY? RIAN? RIAN JOHNSON? THEY’RE GIVING HIM A WHOLE NEW TRILOGY AFTER WHAT HAPPENED... HERE. SURE.. OKAY . ALRIGHT. IT’S HONESTLY MIND-BLOWING. THE THOUGHT PROCESS THAT GOES INTO CONSECUTIVE DECISIONS SUCH AS THIS. like i would LOVE to see footage of the board meeting for this. no sarcasm i am GENUINELY curious to hear what was said to greenlight this. i have GOT to know what post tros board meetings about this will be like.

anyway! op of that post! i will be thinking about you when the new rj trilogy drops!

what’s worse about this whole trilogy is that.. they Had it. they had it in the bag with tfa. they HAD the original idea they HAD the power to make a sw trilogy set to current climates JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS TRILOGIES DID, cos that’s what sw is all about! what it was ALWAYS about! a space opera reflective of current times and climates. but disney turned it into a Keeping Up With The Skywalkers reality tv show that’s nothing more than a sci-fi fantasy light show and vfx flex to keep the brand alive, and personally, i think that’s ultimately one of the reasons it’s so hated and why it failed (of course rampant misogyny/sexism, racism, homophobia under the guise of geek culture within the sw community and in the production itself is a whole other discussion and is another humongous part of why it’s hated and why it failed)

and it’s why hamill had every right to criticise tlj the way he did with rotj, why boyega and isaac and ridley had Every right to their commentary on their distaste of the second and third instalments. how the only reason they’d rescind what they said was due to their contracts. how their silence was necessary to squeeze every last dollar out of consumers because god forbid a potential boycott due to their own star’s “controversial” (Correct) judgements and disapprovals

they really had it in the bag..

a female protagonist who could be a chosen one regardless of her blood and family ties, a protagonist that reflected the importance and validity of found family, and the idea that Anyone can be a “Skywalker”, a symbol of hope and a fighter for justice and goodness and love in the world, especially in the darkest of times... a young woman being just as powerful, as Chosen, as essential as Luke and Anakin were... a narrative that couldve been commentary on the necessity of women needing to do double the work, make double the effort, to earn the same spot of her counterparts. and with the second and third instalments, especially NOW, with the growth and vocalisation of the MeToo movement, the narrative of strength to speak out against abusers, to fight back and to thrive, a symbol of justice, to teach that men such as kylo who refuse consequence, who actively and soberly choose violence and manipulation for the strengthening of the self, who will ignore and deny all opportunities to better the self, to know their guilt, to make up for their actions, are the ones who are irredeemable. that people like him are not owed any time or understanding or belief in, when that belief perpetuates the violent and oppressive nature they are indefinitely attracted to and make themselves defined by.

a black hero raised by violence and refusing to be defined by it and unlocking the force within as a symbol of that strength within over encompassing goodness, to have a hero that breaks that harmful narrative stereotype that black characters have had for decades and still continue to do so, to have a voice and a hero that fights with love and kindness, that is able to find family and support in a place beyond what he believes he is allowed to have, the significance of a hero being deemed a “traitor”, a term that holds weight in the shame of seeking your own independence and identity, versus the cathartic empowerment of thriving in the independence you make for yourself in the end. a black hero that defeats his oppressors, oppressors that belong to a policing fascist regime, a faction that has always from the very beginning been a depiction of nazis, of authoritarian nationalism.

a canonical gay latino man freedom fighter, being the best in his career as a literal symbol of hope for the resistance, a literal symbol of the climates for lgbt folk in regards to resisting those same fascist nazi regimes, resisting laws against lgbt existence, lgbt employability, lgbt success. a man who grew into a legacy of heroism, surrounded by it, something that could have been powerful poignant commentary on the necessity to sacrifice lives so others like his didn’t have to, the very narrative to fight for a world that the innocents and the ones he loves could have peace in, could have a future in, could Exist in. poe fights in the skies because he knew damn well the effect of believing in someone that is human, like you, instead of a force that is bigger than anything you could ever know or believe in. poe brings humanity and realism to an otherwise fanatical universe of magic and religion and chaos of endless war that means nothing, that is based on nothing. poe is commentary on fighting a fight that you have no choice but to fight, that you are forced to fight from birth just for the very act of Existing. his humanity and realism is a significant grounding necessity for our two protagonist heroes and it is appalling that he’d just be discarded the way he was, shallowly played off as sideline comic relief, much like lgbt narratives and characters are expressed in pretty much ANY media today, so it comes as no surprise.

the three most vital narratives that should have been told in this trilogy but no of course not (disney voice) gimme my Fackin MANEY. it’s the silence of marginalised voices cleverly disguised under hollow face-value representation.

honestly, even rey being blood-related to palpatine as his granddaughter was such a strong and perfect set-up for The Narrative That Could’ve Been TM, but instead they had palpatine make it a whole weird pseudo-marriage thing that was just so. backwards and unbelievably shocking that it was in a 2019 era star wars film.

wow marriage story and the rise of skywalker really is the same movie huh

yes we wanted a grey jedi protagonist hero that gets tempted by the dark side but this was the absolute worst way that could’ve been explored. like if they were just gonna recycle old characters and old storylines and make them worse they could’ve at least looked at darth maul or asajj ventress and the nightsisters

and NO WONDER oscar looked so DEFEATED every time finnpoe was mentioned cos he fought for that shit tooth and nail and they? ? ? they gave him a funny ha ha hee hee hoo hoo straight flirt scene? ? with like his ex or something, where they imply they get back together? COMPLETELY destroying the ENTIRE narrative of his character that was so lovingly built and developed in the Official Canon Comic Series About Him ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

NO WORDS. there are NO WORDS. head EMPTY. no not even empty there's NO HEAD at all i am BEHEADED

finn had NOTHING in this film. Nothing. how are you gonna make him a joint-protag with rey and give him Nothing?

anyone with brain cells knows that what finn truly was trying to tell rey the entire film was that he was force sensitive, i will take this to my grave, and that should’ve built up to this grand reveal where they empower each other and take down palpatine and kylo as one, as the joint-protagonists they were Literally Fucking Written And Built Up To Be. they gave EVERY antagonist to REY. what was the POINT. rey had her significant clash with kylo across two films, hell, even in this one (before the Final one), tros was the penultimate film about her family, her bloodline, so her significant final battle should have been with palpatine a la rotj. the person who DESERVED to clash with and take down kylo once and for all was FINN, even a TODDLER would understand WHY.

but considering everything, i would take the thing finn was trying to tell her the entire film being that he loves her ANY DAY if it meant whatever the fuck we got instead Never Happened.

finn got made general and not only was it a blink-and-you-miss bit but it adds NOTHING, yes it’s something to celebrate and of Course he deserves it, but it holds zero significance to him as a character. like i mentioned earlier, when han was made general, that never defined him. he was still han solo and it took a Dozen other significant scenarios and twists to make him a significant and vital memorable character. han solo isn’t known for “being a general”. he’s known for being han fucking solo, a critical puzzle piece in the taking down of the empire, a scamp-turned-deeply-loyal friend and lover, a man who not only got his own personal storyline concluded to the level it deserved to be (the repercussions of his bounty hunter life, the importance of the falcon, his relationships with lando, luke, and leia, his triumph over his captors even when it was luke and leia who freed him).

side note, this was maybe the one thing that tfa screwed up, the entire point and development of the original trilogy, it sort of felt a bit moot with how they put a “twist” on han, leia and luke’s relationship, especially when it came to kylo. but i think there are some forgivable aspects to it for the sake of the new trio, and that’s why those executive decisions kind of Worked! this is, of course, for another discussion bc this is about the new trilogy.

leia IS known for being a general because part of her entire storyline revolves around it and the significance of it!!! which is why finn being made general just feels so... i don’t know! just completely disrespectful, to both him as a character, and to generals who are defined by this position (such as, hello!!!!! poe!!! poe fucking dameron!!!! a man raised by the resistance!!! a man who’s entire life and prior legacy was entirely dedicated to the resistance!!!! him being made general MEANT something). it’s like rubbing salt in the wound of the fact that finn has been discarded as the protagonist he was meant to be, the story, development and conclusion he never got, just to slap general on him and call it a day and then write about his actual development in a novel that 3/4ths of the ppl who watch the films will never read.

and that's just the core story stuff!!! do NOT get me started on the general lore proposed in this shit. i’m talking about the force ghost nonsense and the convenience of some of the timing choices (rewriting the way death works in sw, claiming that rey “didn’t really die/wasn’t really dead” since she didn’t fade which in itself completely destroys the entire plot they were going for with the resurrection scene, the timing of the fades themselves bullshitted for “dramatic cinematic purposes”), the entire palpatine storyline, the bullshit with snoke and the lack of explanation, all these one-off characters that have the lore capacity of an overwatch character when instead they could have developed the ones that already existed and had the opportunity to be fleshed out and CARED about

the FACT that HUX (hux!!!!!!!!!) had a more interesting storyline in all three films with a total screentime of maybe 10 minutes than these one-offs whose only purpose is to stroke the cock of sw nostalgia seekers and lore aficionados. to make these characters so inaccessible that to fully appreciate them, fans have to dive into hundreds of different novels and comics and games and whatnot. like if you make it so that the Only way someone can experience a character’s full essence is by reading their wiki page then you’ve failed in creating them, in writing them, in including them, in using them, in whatever them. you’ve just failed as a creator.

and the ONLY reason hux got a reaction (a barebones reaction but a reaction nonetheless) out of me was because they essentially just turned him into phasma 2 which is SO telling of the climate of this trilogy.

it’s a recycled trilogy. that’s all it is. it’s a recycled series of films where tfa’s originality was completely entirely scrapped and ignored because rian wanted to write his personal fanfiction more than he wanted to continue the story he was given, and did everything he could to insert that whenever he could, and kennedy, of course, let him, because she realised giving herself indulging content other than fifty shades and radfem articles that she could jerk off to was more important than telling a critical story where its wonder and valuable, influential morals could’ve stayed in this generation’s minds for years to come.

if you want to watch tros just watch the prequel trilogy instead you'll get the same story except actually good.

HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY

I spent the most amazing day of my life with @perhalta @killians and @mieczyslaw-stiles-stilinski

1. Jules arriving last night at 1am, taking out her contacts, and then running down the hallway BLIND to give her keys to the valet

2. Jules and I are late to the panel because we take the shuttle. The shuttle unexpectedly picks up a shit ton of people, forcing us to sit in a LUGGAGE RACK FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES. Bonding experience, but we were very cramped.

3. Zach went into a tangent about how editing can change the tone of an entire scene during my question and I was silently chanting “yes yes thank you” because I had just watched a documentary on film editing.

4. ALL OF THEM APPLAUDED MY QUESTION LIKE WTF!!!!

5. I couldn’t hear clearly but I’m 90% sure Zach said he liked my voice. Which I’m self conscious about so I’m freaking out about that

6. Bob saw me get flustered with the applause and his smile grew twice as large AAAAHHHHHH

7. THE TRASHY BOSTON ACCENTS + Zach full on admitting that he was gonna get smashed tonight

8. Bob just being really exuberant when I went for my photo op, like he remembered that this was my first con, thanked me for the good question, and hoped that I had a good weekend aaahhhh!!!!

9. That lovely feeling when you take sheets out of the dryer and they’re really warm and you want to wrap them around you? That’s what a Bob Morley hug feels like + I don’t think this man has ever smelled bad in his life

10. THEY CASUALLY HAD A BELLARKE VIDEO QUEUED UP FOR BETWEEN THE PANELS

11. Content of the CL video aside... it was set up like a silent film with title cards between scenes and I had to bite my cheek to stop from laughing

12. Eliza started answering Jules’s Princess Mechanic question by saying “Lindsey Morgan.... what a beautiful woman...”#SAME P.S. The reunion is rough but the love is still there so catch me crying in a month or so

13. Bob said that he’d like to work with any of the directors at the Oscars GUILLERMO DEL TORO WHERE YOU AT GET MY MAN IN SOMETHING

14. Bob admitted that Black Sails didn’t cast him when he auditioned and I blurted out “Well I’m glad we got you as Bellamy, because you do an amazing job” and it seemed like that made him really happy

15. “This elevator smells like my ex” - Kelly

16. Dancing with Bob and Zach was an EXPERIENCE™. WE WERE RIGHT THERE WHEN THE GRINDING HAPPENED IT WAS LIKE A CAR CRASH I COULDN’T STOP WATCHING

17. Zach McGowan’s drunk ass shouted that he was a Bellarke shipper and even if there’s no video, there’s at least a dozen witnesses. That happened y’all.

18. He wore Jules’ clover crown and not only compared it to Roan’s crown, but then he shouted “I’M IRISH JESUS!”

^PLEASE TELL ME THIS WASN’T HIS LAST CONVENTION BECAUSE HE’S FUCKING FUNNY AS HELL

19a. BEST PART! So Jules went to the bathroom and while she was in there, I saw Bob grab his coat and get ready to leave. I wanted to hug him but I knew he probably wanted to leave so I hung back but then he started hugging people on his way out so I jogged to the door, said “Bye Bob!” with a wave, not expecting a hug, and this WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING took three strides out of his way to hug me.

19b. Because he stopped to hug me, he bumped into Jules on the way out and said “okay I’m just gonna hug you anyway” and like barrel-hugged her before walking away. And that was amazing to watch.

20. “I want to touch his butt” - Jules and I’m not giving the context for that quote

CAN’T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!!

Maar thanks anyway. Lifesavers.

Doelstellingen voor 2020?: Deze positieve lijn doortrekken, alle schulden aflossen, meer transparantie en betere communicatie. Nog meer liefde verspreiden. En de culturele waarden in NL versterken en door Europa verspreiden middels onze Bureau Punt evenementen.

Dencho A$M. Jezelf en je naasten. Want je kan jezelf soms lelijk verrassen en pas op dat je er niet in blijft hangen en je jezelf op tijd checkt, inclusief je naaste omgeving.

Imagine having trouble to sleep for various reasons, and when You get able to fall asleep... Your fuckface wannabe archnemesis crash on your room at 1am smelling like alcohol.

Yes, that happened to Max.

4th Slide blonde oc (Scott Murphy) belongs to @murphyyyy18 and he's part of Max's background when he was on Panamá before leaving in 1989.

- i already have a 8k words document about this ship oc i have done, went bonkers about them Lord.

I have a lot in mind and a lot to share yet but little motivation to draw.

My man hates when Alejo speaks of himself in third person.

It's also sad that the camo paint covers the drunk blush on his face, but it was that or not looking alike to the character because drawing him without his stripes makes him look naked.

One woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure

There are many different thrift stores and consignment shops scattered throughout the town of Gainesville filled with treasures that are waiting to be dug up from the racks. It may take some time to find your hidden gems, but when you do you’ll love the new additions to your wardrobe. Here are some stores whose racks are worth rummaging through.

Flashbacks $

Flashbacks is a consignment shop filled to the brim with retro apparel, accessories and home décor items located at 818 W University Ave. Head on over if you’re craving some vintage finds.

Outside shot of the store.

Whether you want to clean out your closet, or are just looking to make some extra spending money, Flashbacks will also buy your clothes for 35 percent of the asking price that they later sell to customers. Their buying schedule is pictured down below.

To save even more money at Flashbacks, click here to get an extra 20 percent off any one clothing item. All you need to do is send the coupon to your phone, download the Yelp app and present the coupon in store.

The photo on the left was taken by Gabrielle Toro, and the photo on the right is from https://www.prettylittlething.us/shamira-black-sheer-stripe-wide-leg-pants.html.

Inspired by a look on prettylittlething.com, the sheer black pants on the left were found at Flashbacks for only $6. They can be dressed down for a sandy day at the beach, or styled for dancing the night away at a music festival. The possibilities are endless.

Urban Thread $$ If you are in the position to splurge on a special item here and there, Urban Thread is the perfect place for you. The merchandise is either obtained from store overstock or catalog returns, meaning that you get to indulge in brands like Urban Outfitters, Free People and Anthropology for an awesome discounted price. Look up Urban Thread on Instagram and Facebook to stay up-to-date on new shipments and flash sales.

Pictured above is a window display of styled Urban Thread merchandise.

Urban Thread currently has two locations in Gainesville. One store is located conveniently close to campus at 802 W University Ave. and the other is located at 1236 NW 21st Ave. Pop into either shop from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday or 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. If you don’t live in Gainesville, the store is expanding its reach to Ocala this spring! The grand opening of the Ocala location is taking place on Saturday, April 6 at 11 a.m.

Op Shop to Runway is a fabulous blog to follow for some inspiration of what to look for when going thrift shopping. As an eco-stylist and an ambassador for Red Cross, Alex Van Os will give you ideas of how to style your thrifted finds, while informing you more about how recycling clothes actually helps to save the environment. She is the queen of seeking out chic and sustainable items. To check out her website, click here.

It was a dark and stormy night…

Actually, it wasn’t stormy. It was a sparkling clear high desert night at George Air Force Base and the students and instructor pilots of the 35th Tactical Fighter Wing were in the night phase of their training. As everyone with experience in night flying knows, the “lifties” are going out of the air and all of the gremlins that are afraid of daylight are out and about at night. This was long before night vision devices became in routine use by aviators around the world.

Dark is dark, and in most cases, dark is not your friend. There is one exception: night combat. It is daunting at first blush, but soon night flyers liked seeing the guns with their tracers and SAMs with their fiery plumes on launch—avoiding the ground and blacked out aircraft still requires skill and luck—but seeing who is shooting, what they are shooting and where there shooting from is better than the alternative (at least in this guy’s viewpoint).

George AFB was a bustling place in the 1970s.

But this wasn’t combat and all the Phantoms flying were in “Bright Flash” with their external lights and there were no gunners at the ends of the runway so landing lights were on and the VASI’s were up on the approach end. Elaboration is appropriate on the environment at a great location just outside the edge of the Los Angles air traffic control area.

In the mid-1970s, George AFB was a beehive of aviation: five squadrons of Phantoms and two squadrons of Wild Weasel F-105Gs were on the tarmac. Their activities included training guys right out of the ATC pilot training, former T-37 and T-38 instructors moving into the tactical arena, Germans transitioning to the F-4F from their F-104 Starfighters, POWs getting their sea legs after up to seven years as members of the Damn Jane Fonda club, and the sum total of the USAF’s defense suppression forces consisting of specially modified F-105s and a few F-4Cs . Great air-to-ground ranges and supersonic airspace—a great training environment that got gobbled up in the Peace Dividend.

On this night there was a lot of activity. I was an instructor pilot (IP) for a young guy just out of the Air Training Command. He was known as Boomer—that name came when he was solo in a T-38 flying out of a southeast training base. There was a weather recall, “return to base ASAP.” He did, crossing the base supersonic as he dived down to enter the pattern to land. Get it? Boomer. He was an energetic young man, so much that while doing his flashlight preflight on our Phantom, he ran smack into a drooping aileron. Blood dripping from his forehead, he reported, “Good to go, sir.” Not. Off to the Flight Surgeon for a few stitches, and off the schedule for the night, and a few more days.

Now later that night, there was some real-world drama. A Phantom C, known as a “Chuck,” took off and had a hard-over rudder. That is a really big emergency in a Phantom. It not only poses a controllability program across the flight regime, but also has some complications in terms of interface with the other flight controls and the nose gear steering. Implications include a very fast approach speed for controllability and the need to engage an arresting gear soon to preclude severe ground controllability problems that could result in a departure from the runway.

The crew, with a very inexperienced pilot in the front seat and the IP in the rear, spent time running the checklist and burning down fuel to get an approach speed as low as practical, and getting ready for what could be a really wild ride.

That night the Supervisor of Flying (SOF) was in the tower. His duties were to keep the big picture in mind and direct actions, including diversion of flights to alternate bases. This included Edwards close by (with its long, dry lake bed runways it was a great choice—except for night ops), down south were March AFB, El Toro Marine Corps Air Base, and Miramar Naval Air Station, and up north, Nellis AFB in Nevada. On this specific night the SOF was a Royal Air Force Squadron Leader (equivalent to an Air Force major). Along with the variety of aircraft and missions, George normally had not only an RAF exchange officer, but also US Navy and a German Air Force pilots on duty. They flew and performed other duties just like their USAF brothers.

A rudder problem in an F-4C Phantom is a big problem.

Squadron Leader Barry was in the tower this night. He made the proforma decisions as expected and kept the airfield at ops normal while the hard-over rudder Chuck was getting down to a good fuel state and prepared for the approach. Then he injected his own knowledge and RAF procedures. He recommended using the emergency lowering of the flaps (e.g., blowing them down) using pneumatic pressure. This had about a 100% chance of rupturing the utility hydraulic system, causing the rudder to streamline to a neutral position. The good news was that this solved a big problem but also had adverse results on lowering the landing gear and braking. The real bad news was this was not an approved TCTO 1F-4C-1 Emergency Procedure. Not a good solution per the institution.

The good news was the crew followed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and made a safe arrested landing on the first third of runway 6/34. Good job—well done. Now in the morning, as the dust settled, the 35th TFW Director of Operations (a bird colonel) learned that his representative acting as SOF suggested a course of action not in the USAF playbook. Hot line to Squadron Leader Barry’s squadron: “get his pink butt up her now.”

Reporting as ordered, Barry posted in and held rigid attention while the DO read him the riot act about following the book and acting as the DO’s direct representative at a critical time. Squadron Leader Barry remained at attention that Boom Trenchard would have approved, then respectfully asked for a word. Granted that opportunity, he responded, “Sir about 200 years ago we had a book—it said, wear red coats, march smartly in a straight line and engage the rebels. As you know, following that book didn’t work out well for George, sir.”

The story goes, there was a brief pause, and then something like, “Out, Out, Out” muttered through the DO’s clenched teeth. The end—no diplomatic incident—but a great story for hot tub time at squadron gatherings for a long time.
