In my dreams!
The last time I was up in one was in '85. It was "Gunfighter I" and General Urshler (SAC Commander at the time) gave me the opportunity to unwillingly "pee" LoL, at over 200kts no more than 20' off the deck.....
When I asked for a parachute before we rotated, his reply was "You can take one, however they are VERY uncomfortable and I refuse to wear one, and YOU can't leave the aircraft until I do!
If I had an extra $800,000 or so I would own one, however I am still working on that goal of financial freedom! ; )
I have however spent years in the past working on the birds of the "Confederate Air Force" (I refuse to succumb to PC and use the title "Consolidated Air Force")
Your "home page" is GREAT and worth commendation!
"You can take one, however they are VERY uncomfortable and I refuse to wear one, and YOU can't leave the aircraft until I do!"
That's a great story!
One thing about pilots...their butt is more
important to them than their passenger's.
They will move mountains to make sure they
are safe.
If they are safe...their passengers will be, too. ;o)
"working on the birds of the "Confederate Air Force" (I refuse to succumb to PC and use the title "Consolidated Air Force")"
That's terrific!
