Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

The marines are smart about towing their A10s.

Speaking of marines, my understanding is they are extremely short on pilots these days...in case anyone knows someone looking for a mil flying slot.

What is an F-4?

Is this like a baby trying to suck on man boobs?

Glider towing experience will get your app on top of the stack.

Yeah but typically gliders have a ratio of 40:1 to 50:1 and are good for ridge running, or catching thermals off a water treatment plan and what have you.

That thing the Kc-4 is towing probably has, and mind you I have an untrained eye for this, but probably a glide ratio of 70:1. A typical glide pilot wouldn't be able to handle the truth it would be laying down.

The top airplane belongs to the 82nd Aerial Target Sq.......That sounds very dangerous.......Probably junior.

Disregard, cool link of a B-17 doing a very low pass at PDK doesn't work. Requires FB.

In replacement of that cool video, I present to you the KC-4.
