A good friend of ours is a Bone pilot stationed currently at Elsworth.

Took a tour of Elsworth AFB. Pretty impressive. I remember one of their runways was concrete 3 feet thick and 2-1/2 miles long. At the time that I visited, they had enough nukes in storage to become a nuclear power on their own.

Chet, were you in Palmdale at the Skunk Works?

Nights when I was out on a four man ambush, I would call in defensive targets. But, I would wait until about one am. That way the mortor platoon would have to get out of their sack to fire the mission.

Pissed they were.

Brenda and I where at the Rockwell Intl. location in Columbus, OH prior to Rockwell it was North American Aircraft
Forward intermediate fuselage, Engine nacelles and wing carrythrough.
Brenda worked in the Blueprint crib and I worked special projects, got to learn a lot!
That was FUN times, we completed production of the contracted 100 units and the layoffs came and the plant got closed.
Otherwise we would have never left, I can not express how much I loved working there and how proud I was to help build that bomber.

Thanks to the cold war we have some amazing aircraft, most of which were designed on a draft able not on a computer!

I thought they weren't allowed to do that?

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Do what?

Question for the Stihl heads in the crew:
Do the intake boot get a tin sleeve inside like a Farm Boss type or not.


Don't remember there being one there but I bet I'm not the first person inside this thing.

And: where on the engine did the ground wire from the 'switch' attach. That was missing also.

Thanks fellas!

OK as long as they stay under Mach 1.

Tight turn, medium speed and high humidity. Moisture on low pressure side condenses to a cloud of 'steam'.

I think................and stuff........

OK, I stand corrected!

I've seen that picture before. That's a boom.

That particular one was an out-at-sea no land near full fledged BOOM

Depends on the humidity. I've got some pics of some pretty impressive vapor bursts from A-10's.
