Awesome video! I’m paraphrasing, but the part right before they were in the locker room where lead said “I’ll turn and you blow him out of the sky before he gets me” is awesome. Plus that stogie!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuts to think that the 'old man' in that video was probably around flying the first jets in the 50's as a shiny new butter bar, then cut his teeth in 'nam, and finished up flying the jets we STILL fly today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born 30 years too late lol. I really liked how in the old school AF, you could have the reality of flying 5 plus different MWSs in your lifetime. All the while not wearing a high and tight, smoking cowboy killers, being a classy alcoholic, banging strippers and the airmen respecting a pilot’s/aircrew's ability to max perform his aircraft and kill bad guys/deliver the goods, while simultaneously living the life described above. Edit: My POS Alabama rat skinner moustache wouldn't have cut it back then lol.

This is as a prior enlisted guy who enlisted in his 20’s (actually got drafted into the Army while at AF BMT). Earned the nickname of the “oldest Captain in the Air Force” in Vietnam. The craziest part to me is that he was sent to the Huey as a thousand hour Tanker AC as a brand new 1st Lt. No casual time between training like now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone with experience flying Hueys and regional jets, I can tell you going from something with a landing gear handle, thrust from jet engines, and weird flap things to a Huey is a significant change. So bad ass you could go from the 135 (steam jets I imagine), Huey and 111s in the same career. As a guy who retired as an AF Captain (don’t tell my wife, as she still thinks I was a Navy Captain lol) I can relate to being the old captain. The main difference between jets and Hueys was being able to take my doors off to go fly. (Don’t stick your arm outside when the guns are firing lol) Edited May 20, 2023 by Biff_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 The Air Heritage Museum C-123K "Thunder Pig" had an exciting landing at the Geneseo Airshow this past weekend. I believe it's the only flying C-123 on the airshow circuit (maybe the only one flying in the US). Got to tour it at Oshkosh several years ago. Neat airplane, and good people. Powered by two big radial engines, and has the pods for two J85 turbojets. Turbojets were normally used during takeoff and landing from what I understand, but are unfortunately no longer installed. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was trying to make that first high speed taxiway and then remembered he wasn’t landing at LAX. Lol. In all seriousness, glad it’s ok. That 123 just needed a walk in the grass. For old times sake.
