I always thought, who the fuck is going to remember to roll the throttles off during the flare after they were just spiraling to their death? This dude appears to have left them on in the flare. Only critique. This guy had the balls to fly that beast all the way to the end and got to live. Never stop flying the aircraft!

It ain't over until it's over. Huge kudos to this pilot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first time I refueled one of those, all I could remember was one of my instructors voices saying "Amn Biff, you don't wanna be the first person to hit those props".

Nothing like lumbering up to the KC-10 on a Pacific crossing and taking gas to "165ish"...throttles bent, toboggan immediately, gimmie the second pump! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoleIt Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Qatari F-15QA doing an impressive routine at the Dubai airshow. It appears 2x 30k motors, clean/no CFT's, and the fly by wire really turned the Eagle into a low speed monster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff_T Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 The Saudi in my class was the worst student pilot I've ever met. No studying, just complaining and language barrier excuses. Nice guy, for 19 yo Saudi royalty, but not what I'd consider a threat or a good pilot. He was scheduled to marry his cousin. He flies F-15s. "What is this Boldface you speak of?" - somewhere around week six of pilot training, Saudi student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuggyU2 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Great... and funny... video. Don't discount his knowledge based on his humor: he's got his facts right. The more I read up on the A-37, the more amazing it is that this tiny killer hasn't gotten more respect in the Vietnam history books. Here's a pic of the only one flying in North America. There may be a 2nd returning to flight status in 2024. It's MIL thrust is the same as a T-38 in MAX. Edited November 27, 2023 by HuggyU2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfargin Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 It looks like this owner deleted the minigun option in favor of the out and back to Navy Brunswick lobster cubicle. Many a tweet trip from Plattsburgh and Loring to Brunswick was made in the 1980s and early 90s. Every time I made that run out of the 'burgh, there was another tweet there picking up lobster...I mean practicing PAR approaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
