I don't remember where I saw this, but it's interesting. Displayed at the USAF Museum. Check out the rank of the first FE.

Read in the Dayton Daily News today the AF is considering using enlisted troops to pilot drones. As I posted here a couple of years ago a 25 year old SSgt who has been playing video games forever would make a great drone pilot. Cheap too.

Neat virtual cockpit tour of the Enola Gay. Interesting throttle configuration -- the captain's throttles are in his left hand and the FO's are in his right. Click here: Enola Gay / Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Don R.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Once a Cold War-era submarine attack plane, the Lockheed P2V has for years been both a mainstay of the nation's aerial firefighting arsenal and a cause for concern.Flying in the turbulent, unforgiving skies above raging wildfires, the planes have crashed at least seven times from either mechanical problems or pilot error, causing 16 deaths, dating back to 1990 when they were slowly added to the nation's firefighting fleet. http://www.kansascity.com/2012/06/03/3640346/air-tanker-crash-kills-2-at-utah.html http://www.firehouse.com/news/10726438/ntsb-firefighting-plane-heavily-fragmented-in-crash Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2012/06/…

All, Been playing around in Afghanistan the past few months with this G-222 (C-27A) aircraft. Got me a good APU problem that may translate well from some of your Herc APU/GTC experiences. This APU will run just fine, loaded, unloaded, for roughly 5 top 10 minutes, then abruptly shut down. This happens either in flight, or on the ground. I have eliminated the Oil Pressure Switch, the Hot Oil Temp Switch, the Speed Switch, the Ignition Control Unit, and the fuel filter. Cracking Pressure I would assume is fine as it starts smoothly, and doesn't "burp" or appear to be struggling for fuel before shutdown. I do not have a gauge available to verify though. …

Read where the 213th and last C-17A has been delivered to the USAF. Boeing has about 20 remaining aircraft to be built for other customers. Anyone remember how many 141s where in service at max count?

Did anyone else watch the pilot episode of "Manifest?" I don't now if they had a technical adviser or not; probably not. The first 737 scene in flight is a -300 series or higher because of the flattened lower engine nacelles. In subsequent scenes on the ground, it's an older model. Then in the inflight cockpit scene, it shows a 3-engined airplane instrument panel. I don't think it was a 727 -- didn't notice any fire handles. And finally when ATC asks the captain how many passengers he has on board, he replies, "191." Puleeze, give me a break. The normal passenger configuration for a 737 is around 130, more or less, unless it's a stretches model. Interesting show…
