MT near Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I know the F-16 does and most heavies I have flown on.....but what other fighters have air conditioning. Does the herky bird have it? How bout the hog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ Kind Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I know that the Tweet sure as hell doesn't have one to speak of. It either blows hot air at you, or shoots ice chunks at you. No happy-medium. The T-44, on the otherhand, has a great A/C when it works.... If not, its grinding and trying to eat itself alive :rolleyes: EDIT: Yes, I know, none of the above-mentioned aircraft are fighters. I am going to watch Top Gun now. [ 09.

EvilEagle Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 The Eagle has A/C sort of. It works pretty decent while airborne, not so much on the ground. The priority is that big ass radar and avionics, then keeping you cool. Desert in the summer = no A/C till 25k' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT near Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 ok....it doesnt have to be a fighter....any aircraft that you fly is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pcampbell Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hog has nice A/C on the ground and in the air. On the ground, the APU has to be running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergman Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 No A/C on the mighty KC-135. It has an air cycle machine, but it takes 2 ground air carts to run it and even then it doesn't work properly. Ground ops and pattern work are miserable when it's warm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hydro130 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 'Traditional' (not J) Herc guys do not understand this mysterious concept of "air conditioning" to which you reference... Tell me more of this miracle solution! Is such a thing as 'cool air' somehow possible on the flight deck? :D Hydro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneedro Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 The KC-10 has a GREAT a/c on board!! It keeps the jet a perfect temperature all the time. Granted I have not been to the desert with it so my experience with the a/c is very limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xtndr50boom Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Come on Berg, can't you just open up the windows to stay cool? The 10 has FABULOUS A/C on the ground, in the pattern, pretty much anywhere/anytime except when you're in the desert in the summer months and you're on ground power cause otherwise the APU would auto shut-off for high EGT. Pattern work is NEVER a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hydro130 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Can air conditioning be fabulously gay? Well, maybe in the -10! Hydro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hoser Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 The Strike Eagle AC is great for one thing: Push my no-slugs into the rear cockpit. With the front-to-back flow, it's impossible to push one forward. I know, I've tried. Hoser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Originally posted by Xtndr50boom: Hoser, no comprende' El translatano? Por favor? He's talking about the direction of air flow intercockpit. The air cycles from front to back, so it's impossible for the front pitter to smell any ass you drop from the back. Curiously enough, the T-38 is the other way around. Studs in the FCP can drop ass with abandon, and I won't be the wiser from the RCP. Now, when I drop ass in the RCP (as I FREQUENTLY do in the morning sorties...part of my routine), it's VERY apparent in the FCP. Go figure. I guess I'm just lucky to be flyin the '38.
