I was in the Air Force for nine and a half years, flew the '135 for five of those years, and one good-looking female was a rarity, let alone four. Photo is just another PR move by some craven PR officer. Not that women can't do the job, just that that photo is total PR fluff.

On a related note, when I upgraded to the left seat of the '135 the schedulers thought it would be funny to assign me a copilot named Tim Bush and a navigator named Pat Poon. It was Eaton/Bush/Poon on all of our paperwork as well as on the scheduling board. We were famous base-wide and even the female squadron personnel thought it was funny.

Hey Bill - THANKS! You ruined it for me......

Upon closer inspection, I don't think those girls can even see over the dashboard

I think I first saw that pic about 4 years ago. Definitely a PR or scheduling officer setup. I was chief of scheduling for a couple years and sometimes you would get bored and you would put guys together who couldn't stand each other just to see what might happen.

Ron,

Thanks for posting all those images. Some of them were awesome!

Great to see the F-4 Phantom still flying. Probably the loudest
jet fighter of the modern era. Also great to see the Skyraider
presentations with armament. Great stuff!

Dude....Are you kidding?? Those are awesome photographs and that had to have been an incredible show to see over the water like that. Great job man, thanks for posting!

It's nice to know that our nuclear power stations would survive an F4 Phantom attack.........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--_RGM4Abv8

Airbus Wall Penetration Test

The wall won.



This is what happens when you run up the engines on an A340-600, knock off the handbrake by accident and jump the chocks ! This was a brand new airplane undergoing engine tests at Toulouse prior to delivery a week or so ago. I understand that there were 6 injuries but they were not serious.
A spokesman for the airline said those hurt belonged to a firm contracted to test the plane before delivery.

[b] I'll bet orders for that company are at an all time low!!

They might be able to fix it but they're never the same after going over a wall.
