That is a good story. Sounds like fun.
Once, at 10500 ft in a 152 just above Vso, I asked for a ground speed and was told "-18 knots". Pretty macho, eh? Bet an SR cant do that! |

With little delay at the hold short, the jet turned to the active and powered up. Shortly, it was gone. Time to breath again, and time to come back down to the fabulous four fans of freedom, trueing out at 280, on a good day. Ya still gotta love your Herc which could land on a 38ft wide road in Iraq...LAPES a 40,000 lb triple-married pallet from 5 ft off the deck...and land on an aircraft carrier w/out a trap wire (...although it was not done operationally). First flown in 1954 (...and still in production!), the "Four Fans of Freedom" is out there on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan getting the not-so-glamorous, tactical airlift mission done every day. |
