RvETito Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Yup, and the second worst way to find a hydraulic leak is to get the fluid on your skin. That is nooooo fun. :no_sad: That must be the Skydrol. I've had many times contact with FH-15 oil(analog of the russian oil AMG-10) and it's not that dangerous though. Unlike the Skydrol, which is synthetic, the AMG-10 has petrol origin. "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is. If you don't know you shouldn't be flying." - Chuck Yeager, from the back seat of F-15D at age 89. =RvE=
Guest IguanaKing Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 You got it, Tito, its Skydrol. Its what many of the aircraft I work on use. I've only gotten it on my skin once...once was enough. It was on a Cessna 505 and I had stuck my arm into an area I couldn't see to check an antenna connection. There was a small puddle of Skydrol in the belly. Its amazing how quickly it starts to have its effects on you, its almost instantaneous.
Guest IguanaKing Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Its absorbed immediately into your skin and travels through your blood stream. It almost instantly causes your eyes and your private parts to begin to itch severely. Its incredibly difficult to resist rubbing your eyes, then you get direct contact between the Skydrol and your eyes. They then feel like they are on fire (for lack of a better description). The only thing that stops the burning is either milk or Milk of Magnesia. Yeah...its nasty stuff.
TucksonSonny Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Not to mention that taking off with AB is pretty much standard procedure for US military aircraft that have afterburners. It really doesn't have anything to do with whether or not they're needed. :D Taking off with AB is also standard procedure for noobs :D… The most powerful jet engine of any fighter?
