AMPTestFE Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hey, just trying to figure out what unit's FE ran #2 tank empty on the way into Kandahar. Little office discussion here trying to recall who did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Wilson Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 mmm haven't heard about that one but a very similar situation that happened to me is one prime reasons I quit flying. Going back into home base in krapistan, but had to hit the tanker before we landed (since it was impossible to get fuel on the ground), once we plugged up to the tanker I noticed I had less than 200lb on the indicator for #2 tank (this was after fuel started flowing from the tanker) and I had absolutely no idea how I mismanaged my systems to suck the tank dry (and it was my foul up, no bullet holes or leaks other than the ones in my brain). Remember guys, when the guys at the altitude chamber warn you about DCS take it to heart, it sucks and it can be like herpes and Samsonite luggage - once you get it, you have it forever:eek: A brain is a terrible thing.

spec13fe Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I remember long time ago a gunship engineer who was correcting a fuel imbalance. When they rolled in on a target, he forgot what he was doing and filled #1 tanks full. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Davenport Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 xplain how he did that please. RZ If he was was in an inflight refueling bird he just transfered it from another tank or tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
