Air Force - The beggining of my Journey

[expat]

Quite. It's an easy choice. The in flight catering, legroom, and toilet (restroom) means the 130 wins hands down.

I beg to differ....

I have ridden in the back of a C-130 several times, and they were all hands down, THE MOST miserable flights I've ever been on....

Depend whether you in the front or back seats...

I am with you Andrew, Alaska to Germany. 14 of the most miserable hours I have ever had to endure. And as for the toilets, Charlie you must be referring to an executive throne reserved

Thankfully my "down the rear" Herc time is limited to about 30 minutes!

And as for the toilets, Charlie you must be referring to an executive throne reserved  for people at the pointy end and not the piss can with an ill fitting curtain down the back

Better than the loo in the F-16 then!

If I make it, I must say I am not looking forward to the piddle packs.

Wow, just a picture makes my heart start beating really fast, I cant imagine what will happen if I get to ever get close to one of those birds. This puts a big smile on my face that is hard to remove haha.

When you say one of our planes, does that mean you fly/are involved with C-17's Chris? That globemaster dwarfs the vipers btw, awesome shot.

[Mobius]

That is a cool picture. 8-)

Yes I maintain the C-17, just not McCords plane in the pic.
One of 3 planes that make ours look small.


But for you, this F-16CJ Wild Weasel is the coolest one I belive. 8-)

^^^ sexiest airplane alive, hahaah.

the air force one is awesome, saw a whole hour bit on it on the discovery i think, i wonder what the classified defense systems are! you can kind of guess but it would be awesome to know, i guess only a select few get that priviledge. cant believe obama gets to ride that for 4 years ahha.

Good luck, it's one of the hardest career fields to get into, but it isn't impossible.

Actually looking at pilot/nav myself. Should be spending my 6 weeks at Maxwell in the summer of 09... not looking forward to that bit of fun.

And yeah... if they made a Herc that could do what a -15 does, I'd be all over it, just for the latrine. But I'll take the alternative if it means a fighter slot.
