HannibalACP82 Report post Posted November 10, 2013 I would give my left nut to be a Sled driver... You fly KC-135's right? Still damn impressive in my book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLK85 Report post Posted November 10, 2013 This was an interesting video about flying the SR71 as well. There are actually a lot of interviews with pilots. I wont add them all, but lets just say I spent a solid four hours watching them. All different and all just as interesting.

capt_chaos Report post Posted November 27, 2013 I know it is not as awesome as the US fighter jet offerings but everytime I see the Eurofighter / typhoon it impresses me. Up in St Andrews in Scotland for a meeting earlier this week and they take off every hour or so and the noise alone excites me.

StoleIt Report post Posted February 4, 2014 Ignore the stupid PA tail flash. We had a rental today. I think I am maxing out my camera/lens. Time to start hunting around for a new combo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerplop Report post Posted February 4, 2014 Bought myself one of these for the upcoming season: http://www.flytec.com/Products/Variometers/6015.htm It'll be nice to replace my dated vario, terrible and heavy gps, primitive instruments for wind speed, etc... now finally I'll have it all in one.

StoleIt Report post Posted April 25, 2014 I didn't bring my DSLR this deployment so the images won't be as perty as they are all taken with my cell. This time I am concentrating more on my GoPro to make a nice compilation at the end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoleIt Report post Posted April 25, 2014 Stay frosty! Haha thanks. I try, but it's averaging about 105* out here now...in a jet with no air conditioning on the ground. It's brutal. I go through about 3-4 bottles of water before takeoff. The boom has it even worse since the back of the jet is even hotter. The highest I have seen was 140* in the back. During preflight we have to constantly keep him checking because the booms have been known to get heat exhaustion and pass out doing their preflight checks. Crazy stuff.

SingleSeat Report post Posted April 25, 2014 I think that's why we keep having wars over there. People are pissed off and miserable wherever it's that hot. Some USN/USAF released pics, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoleIt Report post Posted May 19, 2014 What's happening at 4:14 with the RC-135 disconnect? We hit some clear air turbulence. The Boom was on his game too otherwise it might have ended up a brute force disconnect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
