FCCtoFE Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Dave- That is Dyess\'s ISO hanger and the plane at the front gate in the video. I guess they got a new toy and had to show it off. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Great idea, but the music sounds like the sound track from a cheap porn movie. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Don, Care to tell us how you know so much about cheap porn movie music? :laugh: Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Roy, Right after I posted the cheap porn music statement, I knew I\'d take a hit or two -- but not from a fellow 37th comrade. By the way, everything I learned about cheap porn movies & their music, I learned from a loadmaster!! The classy ones I learned about from Captain Steve Sullivan. Don R. Wow, has this posting been hijacked, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Don, Who better to take the shot than someone you know? I have a couple of objections to your responses. First, the loadmasters I worked with never worried about the music. Second, I\'ve been to some of the same Sullivan soirees that you attended and I don\'t recall much that could be called classy. Hijack complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I wonder if that is the same Capt, err, Maj Steve Sullivan I flew with at EDF. One weekend trip to Hickam with a butter bar Co-pilot was priceless, especially the look on Co\'s face when we bought him a lap dance in one of the downtown Honolulu bars..... Getting married settled him down some, and when he was assigned to go to Command College (is that right, too many years to remember) he wasn\'t too pleased, but he was a lot more dis-pleased when he found out that the school was at Ft. Levenworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop me a line man, so you can give me a debrief on how everything went. Later on dude! DaveB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 George, Yep, that\'s the same Sully. I had heard he wound up at Leavenworth, but I never thought it would\'ve been for an education. At least not a military education. He was easily the best military pilot I ever flew with. We had a lot of fun with the \"campfire girls\" in Naples on quite a few occassions. And Roy, I defer to your first-hand loadmaster knowledge. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I agree that he was a pretty damn good pilot. He was the 17th stan eval boss when he got the word about school during the \'85 Christmas Party. They surprised him with the notice of getting the school slot, and then it was an \"oh by the way it\'s at Ft. Levenworth.\" I thought that he was going to s*** bricks. Never forget the poster that he had in his office. Now a days it would be considered sexual harassment or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinnky Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Just watched the video, yeah it\'s new and nifty piece of equipment but it sure looks like a pain to use. What do you use when the acft is on the ground and the ramp dosn\'t sit level or settles changing the alignment of the bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC130LOAD1 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 We (Navy) used a forklift with tine extentions, 4X4\'s and aircraft chocks to remove/move the ramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
