November 23, 200520 yr Rocker Just because you are next to a mountain doesn't mean you are low. I was talking AGL, not latterly. C-21, I was waiting for someone to say that. I guess this isn't the forum for this...legally I must say that our day LL is no lower than 250A (day time training) -R17
November 23, 200520 yr Got you in my 150 by 250ft! [ 23. November 2005, 17:31: Message edited by: Dactyl ]
November 24, 200520 yr 150 ft AGL ingress in March 2003 to Nasiriyah- 16 CDS AD of MRE's to forward Marine elements. Platform KC-130R. Some probably have been lower. World goes by quickly down there.

November 24, 200520 yr Author Is it coincidence that no one has busted 50? Whats the rule for military birds in general? Can you see the curvature of the earth from up there? Stuck
November 24, 200520 yr Where's a U-2 Pilot when you need'm? Oh yeah, I forgot, they actually have a job to do.
November 24, 200520 yr Originally posted by Stuck: Is it coincidence that no one has busted 50? Not coincidence -- FL500 is the service ceiling for any USAF aircraft flown without a pressure suit.

November 25, 200520 yr Very nice Scoot. However, I was refering to the cessna fliers duking it out over who has been higher in a 152. HD
December 2, 200520 yr 485 in the kc-135, couldn't get the pressurization to hold any hirer. [ 02. December 2005, 04:51: Message edited by: angry tanker ]
December 2, 200520 yr FL 520 in an Eagle I can say it cause...as a flight doc, I wasn't at the controls!
December 2, 200520 yr I've jumped from 30,000 feet. Almost three minutes of freefall time. Damn that was cold. Rocker- Is that Pinacle Mt. in Arkansas?
