  5. So they made it to the outer portion of the base, nowhere near anything remotely exciting/important/interesting? Cool. Do people actually think they will be able to see some TS or SAP stuff by peering into a window, or meandering around a base?

  7. Sweet. Thanks for being on the team. But for whatever reason, over 25 or so hearing tests I've aced every one despite vigilant hearing test monitors like you. Still can't hear a damn thing my wife says, though. Hmmm.

  9. I once took off out of Osan in a U-2 (wx 100 & 1/4). Throttle cable became disconnected from the fuel control on the roll (classic "forgot to safety wire the bolt" event) and left me with a wide open engine, no way to control it except the emergency fuel shutoff, and complete IFR for two thousand miles. After ten hours of wandering around the Pacific looking for a place to go the weather cleared over Okinawa and I shut it down and dead-sticked into Kadena. If nothing else I learned the J-75 was one tough engine...hours of overtemp by hundreds of degrees and it was barely singed. They pulled the engine and sent it home, inspected and replaced a few turbine blades and combustor buckets as a precaution, and put it back into service. Had another friend who lost all the oil and flew one four hours to Guam with no oil. Two slightly worn bearings replaced and back into service. J-75s were great engines!! P.S. Great job Tony!!!!
