NOAA Awards Stratosphere Research Grant to SAPP
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is awarding a grant totaling $1,398,000 to SAPP. NOAA is an agency of the Department of Commerce.
“We are constantly working to improve the understanding of Aces High environment and to strengthen large maps research and management initiatives in the atmosphere,” said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. “These grants help advance knowledge by actively supporting efforts that reinforce NOAA’s commitment to our stratosphere.”
“SAPP takes great pride in our record of stratosphere stewardship, and an important part of that record is found in SAPP's active role in the development of technology to further the understanding of our atmosphere's upper layers,” said SAPP Strato Team leader Ack-Ack. “NOAA resources will reinforce this work, which helps to protect stratosphere from AH players interference and preserve access for current and future SAPP members.”
The SAPP Office of Planning will use the funds to assist stratosphere scientist Ack-Ack and his SAPP Strato Team in continuing the implementation of its approved stratosphere management program.
The grant to SAPP will fund the purchase of stratosphere-troposphere (ST) VHF radar mounted on new Lockheed build P-38/XYZ, and is a cornerstone of the research in stratospheric physics. This impressive phased-array radar with 400 antennae is used to study winds, stratospheric gravity waves and turbulence to an altitude of 295,000 ft.

"Gents, we got a grant for $1,398,000 to study the stratrosphere or something like that.
I'd like to thank AKAK for perpetuating the notion that he is always flying at that height. While we know that all oxygen equipment was removed from SAPP 38s to make room for the Shuffler SAPP margarita blender, it keeps us in booze and women to have that much money to throw around.
Thanks again AKAK."
"Shaddup ya bums and get back to your drinking!"

Now where is that damn margarita?

If you did get him, it wasn't 1v1 ;)

I want mine with Patron please, on the rox. none of this blended tripe.

As for spending of the $1,398,000, we thought long and hard as of how to go about it. Finally we took a vote on purchasing a P38H, or more beverages for our consumption. Shame we wont see that P38H until some agency decides to study the effects of dirt on low flying P38s.
-
There is no P-38/XYZ. That's just a rumor, smoke and mirrors, nothing more. There IS a P-38N-1-Lo. We keep it hidden. Guppy 35 does not have the keys to that hangar. Among the special features of the P-38N-1-Lo are the moonshine/crushed ice dispenser, and the encrypted "little black book" with the hottest of the lambs, ewes, and other hotties.

Great, I'll take em. My CO is a dentist, that oxygen bottle can can be filled with laughing gas.
Between Shuff's margaritas and the lauging gas I'll be set for life.
Thanx

Study not needed.
Rooks have conquered the stratosphere and have moved on to the Ionisphere.
Just up in ANY arena...go to 35K and look UP...
You will see plenty of ROOKS!
I, for one, no longer waste 45 minutes of my time to go up there to fight 'em. I fight Bish now.

2bighorn, allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the victims of your morally questionable, impulsive opinions. As a note of explanation for other readers of this letter: 2bighorn just wants to avoid detection and punishment. For most of the facts I'm about to present, I have provided documentation and urge you to confirm these facts for yourself if you're skeptical. When I look back I think, "2bighorn's dupes should commit to a process that respects civil liberties, civil rights, and civil discourse." If he succeeds in his attempt to take us over the edge of the abyss of Bonapartism, it'll have to be over my dead body. While we all despair over 2bighorn's contumelious snow jobs, we must also remember the principles that will guide our better behaviors and higher aspirations. Mendacious carpers like 2bighorn are not born -- they are excreted. However unsavory that metaphor may be, 2bighorn is an opportunist. That is, he is an ideological chameleon, without any real morality, without a soul.
It is important to realize that society has paid a dear price for letting 2bighorn sanctify his depravity, to put it mildly. I have this advice to offer: The world has changed, 2bighorn; get used to it. Some slimy mendicants are actually considering helping him enact new laws forcing anyone who's not one of his cronies to live in an environment that can, at best, be described as contemptuously tolerant. How quickly such people forget that they were lied to, made fun of, and ridiculed by 2bighorn on numerous occasions. Take a good, close look at yourself, 2bighorn. What you'll probably find is that you're scornful. His patter is smooth and quite practiced. He can fast-talk you into believing you'd be better off if you participated in his effort to prepare the ground for an ever-more vicious and brutal campaign of terror. However, 2bighorn's threats fall apart upon reflection.
Although 2bighorn is ever learning, he is never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. The truth, in this context, is that I once told 2bighorn that there should be a law against this. How did he respond to that? He proceeded to curse me off using a number of colorful expletives not befitting this letter, which serves only to show that I like to speak of 2bighorn as "self-deceiving". That's a reasonable term to use, I assert, but let's now try to understand it a little better. For starters, his legatees maintain that he can walk on water. This is precisely the non-equation that 2bighorn is trying to patch together. What he's missing, as usual, is that I'm willing to accept that his foot soldiers favor a lifestyle that is as indelicate as his ebullitions. I'm even willing to accept that much of the noise made on his behalf is generated by disingenuous hatemongers who seem to have nothing better to do with their time. But a central point of his belief systems is the notion that diseases can be defeated not through standard medical research but through the creation of a new language, one that does not stigmatize certain groups and behaviors. Perhaps 2bighorn should take some new data into account and revisit that notion. I think he'd find that he would have us believe that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them. Yeah, right. Anyone who hasn't been living in a cave with his eyes shut and his ears plugged knows that if you read 2bighorn's writings while mentally out of focus, you may get the sense that unfounded attacks on character, loads of hyperbole, and fallacious information are the best way to make a point. But if you read his writings while mentally in focus and weigh each point carefully, it's clear that his spin doctors are merely ciphers. 2bighorn is the one who decides whether or not to peddle the snake oil of dishonest, self-serving academicism. 2bighorn is the one who gives out the orders to move increasingly towards the establishment of a totalitarian Earth. And 2bighorn is the one trying to conceal how nothing appears more plausible at first sight, nor more ill-founded and repressive upon closer inspection, than his antics. For proof of this fact, I must point out that he has never satisfactorily proved his assertion that merit is adequately measured by his methods and qualifications. He has merely justified that assertion with the phrase, "Because I said so." I discussed this topic in a previous letter, so I will not go into great detail now, but 2bighorn constantly insists that science is merely a tool invented by the current elite to maintain power. But he contradicts himself when he says that he is a martyr for freedom and a victim of sensationalism. He once said that doing the fashionable thing is more important than life or liberty. Oh, please. I'm just glad I hadn't eaten dinner right before I heard him say that. Otherwise, I'd probably still be vomiting too hard to tell you that if I had to choose the most immoral specimen from 2bighorn's welter of ugly gabble, it would have to be 2bighorn's claim that his debauches are the result of a high-minded urge to do sociological research. In closing, all that I ask is that you join me to stop 2bighorn and answer the self-indulgent quiddlers who extend 2bighorn's 15 minutes of fame to 15 months.
:p :D

You can never trust the SAPP'ers. They claim to be at 25K when in reality they're on the deck fighting Spits and N1Ks and yeah, AKAK was one of em :)

It cracks me up how many are quick to pile on "AKAK being at 25k", and they couldn't be more wrong.

The alt guys bug me a bit, and do piss me off from time to time, but I figure it's just a different style of play. Given the choice I'll always enter a fight at the 15k range, just so I'm not at a disadvantage from the BnZer's.
Soon as the fight gets going, I'll try to push it much lower to thow the alt guys off their game, assuming it's not a sea of red downstairs.
The only time alt guys really bug me, is if they pick me while I'm fighting someone else and they pick me off. That will tick me off, because a 2nd con at co alt is easy to keep track off. However some guy zooming in from 5k above is much harder to track when you are in a fight.
BnZers don't bug me too much other than they tend to be an annoyance if they never commit to a fight. It's easy to out turn them or tun into to them throw off their angles. I just hate it when that's all they have and never actually commit to a fight.

Das ist true. I ran into that meanie at 7K last night... I just wanted to say hi and exchange my recipe for the Perfect Margarita but he apparently mistook me for some other Rook and shot me down.
NO MARGARITA FOR YOU!

Thats your 38 cutting right across my nose left to right :)
Fringe is the one dropping from the top. LancerVT is the guy going right to left. I think Vast is the guy coming in from the right side. and there is one other 38 further out to the right as well as another off to the left out of the picture.
