CABU?
guy
start the Colnel asks about the weather. The Weather officer replies
it is CABU, which did not go down well as it meant that the weather
was good.
What does CABU stand for?

You misunderstood. He says CAVU (pronounced CaaVooo) which means
Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited. Aviators may also call it CAVOK,
meaning the weather is OK or a less reverent, CAFB--Clear as a F***ing
Bell.

Hogwash, Jim. To put it politely.
If you want to assign blame where it belongs, you need go no farther
than the preceding president, plus the Wall Street a$$holes who
thought packaging mortgages into securities was a great idea. Oh,
and the banks and investment houses who feasted on them. And,
don't forgot the people who signed for loans they knew they could
never pay.
In short, everyone but me! ;-)

Don't forget the legislators responsible for agressively pushing "loans
for all and sundry even if they can't possible keep up payments, you're
a racist if you resist the notion", who were largely the same bunch
resisting imposing some control over management of FNMA and FHLMC.
Don't forget they were deep into this stuff well before the previous
administration came into office, either.

Nope, not forgetting those legislators. IIRC, the GOP held the majority or
deciding vote in both houses from 1995 through 2007.

No,NOT hogwash.
Obama was spouting nothing but gloom and doom,depressing the markets even
more,then somebody told him to stop it.

No,blame DemocRATs Chris Dodd and Barney Frank,who blocked the changes that
Republicans wanted to(TRIED to) make so this would not have happened. I
note that Frank and Dodd are both PROFITING from this,having ties to
Countrywide. Plus,it was the Dems and BJ Clinton who pushed for the lesser
restrictions on the CRA,-forcing- the banks to make high risk loans.

they would plug you into at a hospital. In order to keep losses in
breathing oxygen to a minimum, and thus have the onboard supply last longer,
the system had a "rebreather bag". When a human breathes, they only use
about 25% of the oxygen that they inhale. Holding the exhalation and adding
oxygen to make up that difference cuts the usage down a lot.
Early versions oc the continuous flow gaseous oxygem (Liquid Oxygen was used
in the early and Mid 1930s.) used a mask that only covered the crewman's
nose. (Standardized as the A-7) This worked prerry well, and left the mouth
free for talking or eating, but wasn't truly satisfactory. The A-8 Mask,
with the rebreather bag was standardized as its successor.
Thiese were replauced as quickly as possible by Diluter Demand systems, that
added oxygen to outside air coming into the mask, and only added the oxygen
when the crewmwmber was inhaling. The diluter systems would add an
increasing amount of oxygen as the airplane's altitude increased, feeding
100% oxygen automatically at a bit over 32,000'.
Diluter-Demand systems are still in use, not much difference between the
World War 2 systems, and todays.

about the meaning of CABU, but was saying that as it seems to have been
coined on the way to the Moon, it didn't exist at the time Twelve

picked this fight. Now, fly up some monkeys ass and be done with it.

I was simply making a comment for the benefit of the OP that, as far as
I can tell, CABU wouldn't have been used in 1949. If it was first used
in the context of going to the moon, then that wouldn't have been before
1968. If you know something different, then I'd be pleased to hear it.

flyers term since it was used in a 1949 movie. And we used it in the
AF. The Internet attributes it to NASA but it probably predates even
NACA. Chances are, it's really attributed to Bombers.

I've been in aviation (military and civilian) for 50 years and have never heard CABU used when it was "clear and a million "!

Moon shots. I did find that the term may have been misunderstood. They
could also have said CABO which is Spanish for Cape referring to
rounding the Cape.
CAVU is listed as a Meteorological term meaning what you say it does.
CABU seems to have as much going for it as CAVU or CABO. In fact, due
to the movie and NASA, it appears it has more cred than the other two.

If the only reference is in the urban dictionary, I still have my doubts -
it could be a misheard CAVU, just like in 12 oclock high. And it definitely
would not have been said in a combat mission weather briefing in 1943!

raid reports/target sheets. The 15th AF reports I have are by group,
so if 6 groups were sent out there are at least 6 entries, the main
attack plus extra entries if some aircraft bombed other targets. For
example on 3 August 1944 the 463rd Group had 1 aircraft attacking
Wenns, 8 attacking Friedrichshafen/Ober Rad (Primary target), 7
attacking Udine, 4 attacking Misc. targets in Italy and 1 attacking
Gorizia, weather is usually only reported for the main target, and on
3 August it is said to be Poor.
The list I have for the 15th AF is incomplete, however of the 2,718
weather at target reports included the top 5 are
693, CAVU
653, Good
226, Poor
223, Clear
215, I
(as in me, myself and I)
Cloud cover in tenths e.g. 1/10 through 10/10 is reported 545 times.
I do not have the 15th Air Force November 1943 raid reports but
CAVU is in the December ones. The conclusion is CAVU is not a
term normally used by the weather people in forecasts but one
regularly used by the air force.
