HeyEng Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I heard some rumors at the KMC sports bar that two C-5M's collided during taxi and another C-17 landed short at Dover. There might have been some beers consumed by various crew members at said bar so I don't know how true either of these incidents are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I heard some rumors at the KMC sports bar that two C-5M's collided during taxi and another C-17 landed short at Dover. There might have been some beers consumed by various crew members at said bar so I don't know how true either of these incidents are. I can only tell you the C-17 rumor is false, they did not land short... They crashed 1000 feet short and the aircraft saved everyone's life. Much like the 777 in SFO. Caveat: The 777 had help from the flight attendants saving the lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyEng Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Supposedly the wingtip of one C-5 cut through the visor of the other one. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Supposedly the wingtip of one C-5 cut through the visor of the other one. Forgive the ignorance, but I'm assuming that "visor" = the pivoting knight's mask on the nose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitteEinBit Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I was at a bar and someone told me BQZip's mom could suck a golfball through a garden hose, but I'm not sure how true that is. True Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyEng Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I finally saw pictures of the damage and it looks like the visor is gone! I don't know if a visor can be replaced with one from another aircraft or not but I don't think the crews have to worry about being put in bravo!

HeyEng Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I don't have the pics, only saw them, they haven't been released to the public. Check with your safety office they might have them.

matmacwc Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 WTF is a visor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerkFE Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 WTF is a visor? It's this thing we use to keep the sun out of our eyes because it hurts to wear sunglasses with headsets. We keep them stored in the galley right beside the coffee maker and the waffle iron. All you have to do is snap your fingers and point outside and the Nav jumps up and retrieves them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheelsOff Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 True. Happened at Diego. Saw a pic of the nose of the C-5 that got torn up. We flew the crew involved back to their home station just 2 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's time to start putting booms on C-17s... for help reading the approach plates and general flight attendant duties.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was what flight engineers were for, and now you're saying we need booms too? We're gonna have more people on a crew than the C-5s before long.

Well we're going to have to keep adding people until you can land on speed, in the zone, with the gear down, and at the correct airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ Kind Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Well we're going to have to keep adding people until you can land on speed, in the zone, with the gear down, and at the correct airport. That's really asking a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the strippers still an option?? I'll bet I can land on speed, in the zone, gear down, AND at the right airport with her sitting on my lap! Oh wait, my boom might be extended...

Pretty sure "on speed, in the zone, gear down, correct airport" transfers to "SOS DG, IPZ, AAD complete, with a DP and #1 strat" in that side of the Air Force.

Rusty Pipes Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Well we're going to have to keep adding people until you can land on speed, in the zone, with the gear down, and at the correct airport. From what I hear adding more pilots to the crew will be pretty easy since we have such a glut of 11Ms... especially in the C-17 community that is supposidly manned at something like 569%, right? Maybe we could use a boom in the cockpit though... then he can go back to tell his buddies how stupid they sound when they say, "Forward 1, Sir". And for the record... we do have multiple Guard C-17 units now, so their jets OBVIOUSLY have stripper poles installed already.
