    F-15E?

    I spent 9 years in that squadron. I remember when that ops building was built. Hell, I got a ride in 1664!
  3. That is awesome!
  4. Shows you where the nose is actually pointed.
  5. Those other mods do not exist for CFT's (except for that prototype set for the Silent Eagle). All fuel.
  6. FLIR from an OH-58D
  7. Even if the metal nose cap that's about the size of an US $.50 piece is installed incorrectly or misaligned can cause airflow issues. QA would often check measurements during QVI's. PITA...
  8. I see you what you're driving at. :smartass:
  9. Had a level 3 over-g one day and had to replace a upper engine mount because it had cracked. Wouldn't have taken much more before the motor "flopped" in the bay. Upper act torque boxes on the verts were notorious for cracking around the RWR or light fairing. There are quite a few "bent" air frames out there.
  10. Sorry, but you guys are "nuts" (:lol:) if you think there will not be any issues or 15 can easily handle G-loads close to the teens. If you over-G the jet beyond a level 1, there is so much work that needs to be done to return the jet to service.

    No......the Strikes A/G radar mode is a very powerful tool that has features that allows its user to see/sniff its target from miles away at distances much greater than one can see w/the pod.

    That's a Singapore jet not WA.
  13. Chuck was an "A-hole" during his career and became ornery during his older years. He thought he was the s@$t because the AF put him on a pedestal. He wasn't very well liked by his enlisted maintainers because he forgot where he came from...an enlisted maintainer. Now Robin Olds, there is a REAL pilot and one hell-of-a commander. "WOLF 1"!
  14. Or just "eyeball it". :D
  15. I don't know how much of a manual anyone would find. It's a highly modified Gazelle used as a movie prop. If you haven't seen the it, it's an old 80's movie named Blue Thunder.
  16. :music_whistling:
  17. :megalol: Well, my first company did.
  18. Tell that to my company :D
  19. 88...did you know Jerry Sasser or Jessie Cane from the 58th?
  20. It's actually a mechanical connection in the 15 :smartass:
  21. Not really. As a matter of fact, in the F-15 not at all. In flight you don't know it's in burner until it accelerates like a bat out of hell.
  22. VF-111 VF-84 VF-1 In that order

    Keep in mind that ED's external model has CFT's for a -229. So any SJ and MO skins are technically incorrect. FWIW when you get that far. :)
