HuggyU2 Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Sickening if true. However, I am skeptical of the accuracy of their observations.

I call bullshit. I can't imagine anybody booing for a flight being delayed due to this. What more likely happened is that the Captain announced the flight was going to be delayed but didn't specify the reason, and the father ran with some sort of agenda. The father ranting about Donald Trump at the end doesn't help his credibility. 5

HU&W Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 https://www.newsweek.com/quora-question-what-it-become-air-force-pilot-537415 Favorite part of the article: The Talon is the most beloved plane of all time (IMHO) and you’ll almost wet yourself the first time you take off in one and realize that all this money, this whole base, all this stuff, was to get you up and flying in one of these. (...) So, I’d dive down and turn off my transponder, clearing like crazy for other traffic. Then I’d bust through the bottom, down to about 10,000 feet, slam the throttles into full burner as I pulled it vertical and then started rolling, vertically. The Earth spun wildly about me. I was a solo Thunderbird! Passing 40,000 feet, I’d let it arc over the top, rounding out at 50,000 where the sky had turned a dark purple. Then I’d pull it down and turn on the transponder at about 40,000, knowing that center wouldn’t pick it up until I was back below 35,000. 2

Vito Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) That Snuff Puppet video is twisted, like Burning Man meets You Porn meets Sesame Street back to the T-38, I do remember a bunch of Columbus IP's got into trouble for landing on super-highway under construction in the 1980's. Rumor had it that they turned off their transponders and did touch and goes on the highway. They even made a patch for the "Club". Anyone else hear this story? Edited January 6, 2017 by Vito

Laughlin circa 1990ish Caught by a State Trooper who noticed the tire marks and thought kids were drag racing so he did a little stakeout and was a bit surprised when "Cool-25" did a little touch and go. Yes there was a patch...need to search my archives in the attic. There was another group, I think the "Turtle Club", that would zoom the T-38 and when they got below 50 knots, open the canopy and quickly place a sticker on the outside that was then "verified" by someone read-in in the RSU. All went south went an IP couldn't get the canopy latched and ultimately lost his canopy over Ft Stockton. Allegedly. Edited January 7, 2017 by ClearedHot 3

I was in 85-01 at Columbus and ended up as a T-38 FAIP. I heard those same rumors but I'm pretty sure it was fiction, just like the grease mark on the canopy. The highway in the rumor was I-55 which I'm pretty sure had been built long before. The craziest things that happened that got command folks worked up was a 5 ship low level since we didn't do any formation low level and a fly-by at Mississippi State Univ that went THROUGH the stadium. The former event got lots of folks in trouble, the latter was blamed on bad weather, dim lighting conditions, combined with a mea culpa so no careers canned.
Vito Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Thx TreeA10, what flights were you an IP in? I was 87-04 Orion, Dowdle was the Flight Commander
