I did include Other time as a Pilot(MP, IP, EP) in PIC and SIC. As the AC I logged Other time in the aircraft forms but I was still "solely responsible" for the aircraft which should be all PIC. There's a little more to calculating PIC and SIC but that seems to be the way that most ppl I've talked to have included Other time into PIC and SIC. |

AV8OR,
I ran an intercept on "a" tanker during Southern Watch and it turned out to be a KC-10 refueling another KC-10. Not something a fighter guy gets to see every day but totally cool to watch. It looks a whole lot tougher than what we go through on the boom! Tankers refuel tankers for lots of reasons and adds to our capabilities tremendously. Biff -FATTY |

No 0.3 conversion for military guys? Perhaps I misread that somewhere. Anyone else know if UPS allows for a flight time conversion for military guys?
Thanks ... -Fatty |
Fatboy,
Were you out of McGuire? |
Hi!
I was in a "formation" (it wasn't organized-everyone just kept out of everyone else's way) of about 17 aircraft. There were a bunch of F-117s flying home from deployment. They were assigned, either one or two each, to a KC-10. They would refuel from the KC-10s all the way home, and the KC-10s would refuel from other tankers while they escorted their baby chicks back to the states. I was in a KC-135R, and we refueled the -10s from about S. Egypt to somewhere into the Med. The modification of the KC-135s into the -Rs was supposed to have included refueling capabilities for ALL KC-135Rs, but it got expensive, so there was only about 15? -Rs that were converted to receive fuel. ALL the tankers can hook up to a receiver and SUCK the fuel out, but it's a slow process. Nowadays, the "new" -R model is old. The KC-135T now has no navigator and is all glass-down to just 3 crewmembers. C U! cliff YIP PS-In the R we could fly for 24 hours, or 12,000 miles. We also did lightweight pattern sorties (landing and takeoff practice) at about 115,000 lbs., with 90K thrust! |
