Now that looks familiar! I can't tell you how many times we hit a B-52 on an A/R mission. Somewhere, I even have slides of one taking gas. And I see now that they eliminated the Navigator, the Boom Operator has a desk up in the cockpit to use - he doesn't need to do his work on a clipboard balanced on his lap.
Very cool!
that is so cool on so many levels!! question though, does a 737 pop up 9 months later?
moose, why were engines 1 and 4 operating a lower power settings than 2 and 3?
That's an R-model, so it may be a little different with the big engines, but we would set cruise power based on EPR, so it probably just ended up that way, with the throttles not being dead even.
And one of the old-head pilots in my squadron liked to say that the KC-135 was the only male aircraft in the Air Force...
What about the R/T 135s?Quote:
