After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, BUFDRVR
blurted out: Hmmm, at least in the bomber community, taking a dump is not considered an accomplishment.....I always suspected it was in the fighter community though... Fair enough, but by a show of hands, how many aviators in this august forum ever heard of a guy/gal in ANY pilot training class actually volunteering for B-52s...when they could have had any fighter they wanted. You are an anomaly...deviation from the common rule ....something different, abnormal, peculiar, or not easily classified. I suppose your BUFF comrades look at you with a YGBSM expression when you announce..."Yeah, BUFFs were my first choice..." YMMV... Juvat |

It is a power on approach, on speed angle of attack, constant attitude until touchdown followed by full power at touchdown whether ya got a wire or not. That's what I thought. Thanks. I think the early jet, straight deck boys did a 'cut' pass-no? Don't know, but with a/c up ahead on the straight deck, I would guess so. With some of the centrifical type engines, like in the F-9, I'm sure it was 'interesting'. As you probably know, when Charleton Heston has a ramp strike in his SBD, in the movie "Midway," it was really an F9F. I''ve heard the pilot survived that, but I'm sure it was "interesting." vince norris Wasn't that same footage used for the F-14 ramp strike in the movie The Hunt for Red October as well? ALV |

Same footage - but I thought the ass-buster was an FH, not a Panther? Not too familiar with the first generation of carrier jets, but I always had a real attraction to the Panthers (of 'Toko Ri') and I remember thinking that it was something other than an F9F cracking up on the round down. v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send your old photos to a reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone. |

WD- Speaking of the Air Force, I will never forget my AF captain neighbor at
grad school. Three rows of ribbons and he had never been outside CONUS. BRBR Generally in the USN there were no awards for 'faithful service'. The difficult was routine, the impossible just took a little longer. Not many 'I've been there ' awards in the USN...A NAM or a NCM was a special award. A MSM really something special. P. C.

considered an accomplishment.....I always suspected it was in the fighter community though.. BRBR Yep, but you can get up, wander back past the bunks with lace curtains, sit down in the ****ter while listening to music or watch a DVD, while the 'stew' is busy making your lunch... P. C.

I knew a guy that took a dump in his helmet bag tho, while airborne. He was
happy the autopilot worked... Had a BN in VA-95 who took a dump in his Nav bag. Poor pilot had to sit there and fly the plane while that was going on. I'll bet his mask was on and tight when that was happening. It was a 9 hour flight. Pilot (XO) in VAQ-135 who discovered about mid **** his relief tube was blocked up so he told the ECMO 1 to give him his water bottle who whinned about it. He dumped the contents of the water bottle into the floor then poured the contents of the relief tube and his bladder into the bottle put the lid on and handed it back to the still really whinning ECMO 1. The AME's were really happy he did it that way since water is easy to clean up. Finally when I was in VAQ-35 we had a Femail NF0 in ECMO 3 seat with a guy who loathed women in the military and in particular this one who witnesed her strip down sufficently for her to take a leak in a relief tube. I asked him what color her skivies were and he said he didn't even look. It was on a formation flight so the other flight got to watch and tease, as well. For her going away present I gave her a funnel. Sparky |
