October 5, 201213 yr choke yourself. Almost as annoying as tanker/RJ guys claiming they fly a 707. Kind of like J-model guys saying they fly a Herk.
October 5, 201213 yr choke yourself. Almost as annoying as tanker/RJ guys claiming they fly a 707. What kind of type rating do you guys get?
October 5, 201213 yr B707/B720. Point? The reason 135 guys get a B707 type is because there is simply no -80 type out there. The 135 is shorter, narrower, and has a shorter wing span than the 707. Furthermore, every single major system of the two airplanes is substantially different. They are not the same, or even really that similar beyond outside appearance.

Thanks, it's always good for a laugh.

As with anything AF the rule of threes apply. The Mighty Stratobladder has three things in common with the E-3/E-8/707...1) They are Boeing, 2) They have the same yoke and 3) They have the same sliding window. Any tanker driver that says he files a 707 should be throat-punched. Plus, the -80 and -135 kicked off the 707. /rant off
October 7, 201213 yr Kind of like J-model guys saying they fly a Herk. Or kind of like H-model guys who've never flown the J and think you need an NCO and an officer with bad eyes bossing you around to be a real Herk pilot.
October 7, 201213 yr Or kind of like H-model guys who've never flown the J and think you need an NCO and an officer with bad eyes bossing you around to be a real Herk pilot. Throttle back, dude. I'd love to trade in my 40+ year old airplane for one of yours. Just pointing how how ridiculous this urinary battle is.
October 7, 201213 yr Or kind of like H-model guys who've never flown the J and think you need an NCO and an officer with bad eyes bossing you around to be a real Herk pilot. Quote of the week. Nicely done, sir.
October 7, 201213 yr Throttle back, dude. I'd love to trade in my 40+ year old airplane for one of yours. Just pointing how how ridiculous this urinary battle is. SHACK. Who the f@#k cares? From a J-Model guy.
October 7, 201213 yr Throttle back, dude. I'd love to trade in my 40+ year old airplane for one of yours. Just pointing how how ridiculous this urinary battle is. I didn't even know there was a pissing contest. I was just busting your balls, as I do with all my bros who still fly those Herks with the smoky engines. :beer: Edited October 7, 201213 yr by LockheedFix
October 7, 201213 yr No worries. It just cracks me up how guys get so bent out of shape over pointless shit, this 707/135 crap being the latest example.
October 7, 201213 yr No worries. It just cracks me up how guys get so bent out of shape over pointless shit, this 707/135 crap being the latest example. What pointless shit? I thought the 135 was a 707 like the E-3?
October 7, 201213 yr What pointless shit? I thought the 135 was a 707 like the E-3? ...more like the E-8 or a VC-137
October 8, 201213 yr At least we can all agree that an E-8 and and E-3 do basically the same job. Late for AR? Yep.
October 8, 201213 yr At least we can all agree that an E-8 and and E-3 do basically the same job. When I did my Joint Planning Exercise for lesson 7 of ACSC, I used them both interchangeably with a Predator.
October 8, 201213 yr Late for AR? Yep. Only late because the tanker went to the wrong track in the first place.
October 8, 201213 yr Only late because the tanker went to the wrong track in the first place. Our Navs are pretty spot on and don't talk back, unlike yours.
October 8, 201213 yr Garbage in, garbage out. Gotta love my nav having to direct RV because the tanker showed up bingo SA
