warthogmadman987 Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I had to take a class at my high school where i went and shadowed (watched) someone at their job. I got to hang out with a RC-135 pilot at Offutt AFB. I got to do a lot of really cool stuff! (simulator/tours/good food) Just thought i would share the story, learned a bunch, dont know but dont know what to tell! I did learn that the runway is one of the hardest to land on in the US due to a hill at the end of the runway and 2 huge buildings on opposite sides creating a vortex. The captain said it really can screw up the crosswind ajustments. Or if a pilot has to reverse course he wont even recognize he is turning after a while due to some odd reasons! Just thought i had to say something, hope i get to work around airplanes someday. Welp-next one the list is the local airshow. It is going to be huge escecially since Offutt AFB's airshow will be canceled for runway repair. It is going to be sweet! I get to help work on my uncles airplane! BOY I am excited! What a Thursday! It will be just my luck that now the government is looking for me...i prolly said something wrong... i take that back, i bet they are busy.
