I never knew that when we sold KC-135's to France, they installed a new autopilot that held altitude so much better.

Understand the emphasis on AUTOPILOT??

This WSO has no idea what's going on, especially when he's taking pictures from the BACK SEAT during A/R. Maybe he still has sour grapes from getting denied a UPT slot...if he had gone to UPT, maybe he could have helped the IP's teach "SA" as effectively as the French supposedly do.

I wonder what kinds of battle would have been fought if we had the internet in the 1960s ?

If in fact "Jeff" is a fake, he is harmless - makes for good discussion.

Want to meet a real flake ?

Google "Guy Razer Fighter Pilot"

This guy is doing serious harm !!! Here is one of his Emails:

VETERANS AND TRUTHERS,

I AM IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN MADE TO LEAVE 3 MIITARY FACILITIES SINCE MAY 10TH. THE LAST ONE, VANDENBERG AFB, I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE NIGHT BEFORE I WAS TO TAKE PICTURES OF A FORCED LABOR CAMP ON THAT BASE. ITS EXISITENCE [sic] WAS CONFIRMED BY AN ACTIVE DUTY OFFICER THERE. MY COMPUTER, CAMERA AND PHONE CHARGER WERE ALL STOLEN, BEFORE I COULD GET BACK TO PROTECT
THEM.
I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR TRUTH FOR A LONG TIME NOW, LIVING IN A TENT, AND NOW I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE FUNDS FOR THAT! UNTIL JULY 1ST I DO NOT EVEN HAVE THE COMM CAPABILITY TO KEEP UP MY WEBSITE: www.myspace.com/supereagle69

THIS COUNTRY IS GOING DOWN THE TUBES AND OUR WORD IS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING UP WITH THE ABILITIES OF THE ELITES TO SQUELCH IT!
I CAN NOT GET WORK, EVEN THOUGH I WILL DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING TO EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO EAT....IT SEEMS THAT ILLEGALS HAVE THE ABUNDANCE OF LABOR POSITIONS IN THE SOUTHWEAST [sic] AND ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE THAT EMPLOYMENT UP.
I HAVE FIXED SAFETY ISSUES ON ALL 3 BASES THAT I HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM...I TRULY FEEL IT MAY BE MY STANCE FOR THE TRUTH THAT HAS PUT ME IN THIS SITUATION...BUT AS SOON AS I AM ABLE TO PHYSICALLY SURVIVE WITH FOOD, SHELTER, AND COMMUNICATIONS, I WILL BE BACK IN THE FIGHT BECAUSE IT IS WAY TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO BE!!!!!!

Wow! Conspiracy theorist from hel!. I particularly like how he copied and pasted his OPR bullets to his myspace page. Also claimed to be a OG from the WIC, among alot of other things. I'm thinking this deserves its own thread!

Just for curiosity, I put him in Peoplefinders.com. Here are the cities he's lived in.

BOISE, ID LANCASTER, CA HOLIDAY ISLAND, AR MOUNTAIN HOME, ID EMMETT, ID FORT WALTON BEACH, FL MONTGOMERY, AL CLOVIS, NM

Some of those fit for an AF guy. Surely this guy can't be for real!!

i will admit that there are a FEW SELDOM occasions that tanker guys have helped us out, but for the most part, they hold up their end of drinking coffee while orbiting in the tanker track while we do all the work.

hey, dont get me wrong, i think the French have done some shaddy things, but we are not talking about that here. We are talking about tankers and, in this case, a very good tanker crew that was flying a KC-135 and doing a great job. Again, like i said, they were the best tanker crew i have ever refueled from.

with regards to WW (winged wheeler), i would suggest you go back and check your facts with regards to drogue only....maybe you could read a book about it while you orbit in the tanker track, practicing your ability to hold altitude within 500 feet.

i have a pic of us on the boom...PM me for it or i will post it in the thread to prove that WW doesnt know what HE is talking about..

Cheers,
Looking at the date time group on your post, it's been about a week since you told us you'd post a photo to "prove" that I don't know what I'm talking about.

Looks like the search of google images hasn't worked out. You couldn't make photoshop look quite right. Maybe you could commision an original work by a good aviation artist--he could even do an inset of the altimeter showing the tanker right on altitude.

I'm still ready to eat crow and drink a big cup of ****. Show me I'm wrong on this.

Probably a Penguins fan too.

WW
