(kinda like the Hog's kept training for the current fight when we were all drilling holes in the sky for ONW and OSW and they were told we'd never need them again...) How'd that work out for us??? It's just our turn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #27 January 21, 2010 Quote I bet the first few times you docked at night it was kinda weird. Someone once said it gave him the willies, kinda cringed and then put it out of his mind. nah... the sound of the boom scraping across the top of the refurbished 707 you are in the tail of with no parachutes (cant have any more weight after all) is FAR scarier... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

merino007 0 #30 January 22, 2010 I hate to be a HATER but I'm KC-10's!! And that is the BIG SEXY!! Ohh, Slick C-130's and Helicopters kick ass without tanker gas hahaha. Just a friendly tanker joke! Have fun in the 135! I'm pretty sure I'll get a consol from ya over Afghanistan one day! Everything in excess is bad... except skydiving and sex!

Just a friendly tanker joke! Have fun in the 135! I'm pretty sure I'll get a consol from ya over Afghanistan one day! Everyone loves their own jet. The KC-10, good though it is, is a fickle mistress and has to be maintained just *so* (we had 2 former -10 drivers in my intial qual class), whereas the 135 can pretty much be kept flying with some duct tape and a hammer. And sorry to call you out, but we CAN tank 130s, and helos receive gas from 130's modified with drougues. The best things in life are dangerous.

merino007 0 #32 January 22, 2010 Hahaha true about MX. I just came back from a Coronet West and didn't break once! That's a first (beer!!) We do refuel 130's also (MC's and HC's), that's why I said the slick ones. Everything in excess is bad... except skydiving and sex! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
