Um... aviation piloting???

So what has happened to the topic around here, I thought we were
talking about piloting aircraft? I'm having a hard time finding things
about that.

If you are referring to the many spam posts, be patient. Someone is getting
their rocks off spamming the group and will most likely move on after a few
days. Happens every so often to just about all of the active newsgroups.

So what has happened to the topic around here,

Take personal responsibility. Try starting a message thread with some
aviation content. Just a thought.


ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10, 2007 -- The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today
announced that it has received an $18 million U.S. Navy contract to
design, develop and produce the Undergraduate Military Flight Officer
(UMFO) ground-based training system for Training Wing 6 at Naval Air
Station Pensacola, Fla.

"Future readiness begins with training, and the U.S. Navy's UMFO
program is the foundation for the naval flight officers of tomorrow,"
said Tony Jones, vice president, Boeing Training Systems and Services.
"We recognize the importance of providing a state-of-the-art training
capability for new weapon systems and look forward to the opportunity
to provide that capability to the U.S. Navy."

The new system will provide introductory training for naval flight
officers, weapon system officers and international military flight
officers destined for highly sophisticated weapon systems such as the
F/A-18F Super Hornet, the EA-6B Prowler, the EA-18G Growler, the E-2C
Hawkeye and the F-15E Strike Eagle.

As the prime contractor and lead systems integrator, Boeing will lead
the instructional system development and deliver the courseware,
electronic classrooms and T-45 aircrew training devices.

In conjunction with existing T-6 aircraft and its aircrew training
devices, and the T-45C aircraft currently being augmented by Boeing
with a virtual radar capability, the new system will replace aging T-2
and T-39 aircraft, courseware and training devices.

Where'd you get that notion? Oh, I see, from the name of the group.
How quaint! Delightfully naive and all that. You see, this group is
really for every topic *but* piloting an aircraft. Little joke with
the noobs you see.

It won't work. It never does. See his output on other newsgroups for
the evidence.

The only thing that will work is mass kill-filing and ignoring.

According to another group it has been stopped. Somebody had hacked into a

Doesn't take long to find an open server. Even easier with the advent of
wi fi.
