I'll take 500' and 420 kts on a VR route over Mach 3+ at FL800 any day.
And one of us has had the pleasure of doing both....but I digress.

The suit is made by David Clark. The current 1035 suit and prior 1031 suit is basically the same thing you saw the shuttle guys wear for launch/RTB after the accident. Minor differences to accommodate aircraft specifics.

Cheers,

As a CAL guy, I'll be the first to offer you a beer on a layover somewhere, regardless of how seniority turns out. That edge-of-the-atmosphere flying you did for the service of OUR country is something to be admired.

cheers!

LAX,

500' and 420 kts???
Here I had thought all these years that VR's were for HIGH speed LOW level military flights. ;)

I'm sure even the bomber dudes are laughing at this one.

Well if it makes anyone feel good....I can tell everyone who will probably be the least senior pilot on the property......
Starting Sept 24 that is....
Welcome ExE3toUAL! We are very glad to have all the new guys on board. Your enthusiasm energizes us (well most of us). Look forward to seeing you on the line.
