September 8, 200718 yr On www.airforce.com there's a series of recruitment video's entitled "Do Something Amazing." Turn up the volume on your speakers and click this link: Eagle pilot curses out boom operator. It's a video clip of an F-15C getting some gas and if you listen closely you'll hear the pilot on hot mic saying "How about you make contact DIPSH*T!!!" Another funny link is this one: Propeller engines?. Apparently the TF-34's on the Warthog sound just like the P-51. Maybe the Air Force should "do something amazing" and have someone QC their website. Enjoy, HOSS
September 8, 200718 yr F'ing classic! More top-notch work by the never-fails-to-impress PA machine...
September 9, 200718 yr That is pretty good. What is even more impressive is that they finally got the KC-135 moniker right. If you read at the bottom of vid player you will see what I am talking about. Go Mother Ship!
September 9, 200718 yr If you play that refueling game you may notice that those bastards at the DoD already have new recruits thinking about fuel conservation. Best range for all my friends!
September 9, 200718 yr Impossible. Eagle drivers only get pissy when you disconnect cause they're about to bust a limit then want an explanation why.
September 9, 200718 yr Wow that is classic. I thought at first it was a "fake" page with the wildcard added after the website until I went to the office and typed the normal link into my computer. Sure enough, it is the same one... I love it!!! P.S. "Boom" was actually making the contact on that video (he told me) :-)
September 9, 200718 yr Sounds more like "Not while I'm making contact dipsh*t." to me. (Edit: Oh yeah, and it sounds like Norm McDonald.) Either way that's funny. The A-10 video is re-gosh-dang-diculous though. Edited September 10, 200718 yr by egochecks
September 9, 200718 yr Yeah the first one sounds like he said "not while I am making contact dipshit" Are these PA guys serious? If I did my job as well as they do I would have been fired along time ago.
September 9, 200718 yr Whether the F-15 vid was a mistake or someone pulled a fast one on PA, I love it! HD Edited September 9, 200718 yr by HerkDerka

September 11, 200718 yr Any other booms watch the F-35 video on that page? Yeah, not very impressive. Hopefully the UARRSI is designed better than the F-22s. That game sucks! I knocked off a TACAN antenna, AND had to call a breakaway with the B-2 for excessive closure. Does the 135's boom really feel that shitty? Speaking with no experience here
September 11, 200718 yr Yeah, not very impressive. Hopefully the UARRSI is designed better than the F-22s. That game sucks! I knocked off a TACAN antenna, AND had to call a breakaway with the B-2 for excessive closure. Does the 135's boom really feel that shitty? Speaking with no experience here I can't believe the F-22 doesn't have Boom Interphone capability. Lame. Depends on the jet, some booms fly great, others not so much. However coming from the A-10 guys from Bagram the "Whistlers" there were denting their noses more than the Shells.
September 11, 200718 yr I can't believe the F-22 doesn't have Boom Interphone capability. Lame.ZE-8 of the -56B says they do, but our checklist doesn't. From what I've heard from other booms that have contacts on the F-22... some do, some don't. I would imagine it's the early production blocks that don't - probably the same tails that have to get the AR lighting TCTO's installed. Hopefully the UARRSI is designed better than the F-22s.I'm still trying to figure out why they used those stupid labia-doors, and not a rollover receptacle like the black jets. Boggles my mind to think that some engineer decided that using folding doors, that form the skin of a low-observable aircraft, was the best way to deal with covering the receptacle...

Looks like the AF figured it out...the video of the F-15 refueling is no longer there.
September 11, 200718 yr Which proves how many people of various backgrounds visit this site... The walls have ears. Chuck
September 19, 200718 yr While checking out all the "Do Something Amazing" spoofs on youtube, I ran across this little video. Possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
September 19, 200718 yr Awesome. Especially funny since my wife is stationed with an Army unit working the border mission. I wonder if they've all seen it...they soon will.
September 19, 200718 yr I think the AF found out about because I cant seem to find it on their site anymore. Luckily its on youtube for anyone who missed it: F-15 Refuel Edited September 19, 200718 yr by ShineR
September 20, 200718 yr I guess they don't have fuel conservation SIIs in computer land, flying around with the board out like that.
