..I think that ice chocks showed above are useless on a high power run!!

Good morning. What a mess!. When I was doing high power run, my left eye was watching through the left window and the right one, reading figures on the gauges!!!. I do not think that a flight crew could have done better. If the mechanics don't do a high power run anymore,...you better quit the job!!! That's my feeling!

......feelin' great so far!!!!

.....the problem is that they tied it down with the external power cable!!!!!!

Now that what I call a Herky with his pants on the ground........................................................I like that comment. Yes Sir!!!

Hi!!.....do you mean to tell us that somebody took the engines off without thinking that it could affect the C of G. Oh well!!!.Am I wrong!!!.............John Boy

Hi guys! I remember my last day at CFB Trenton. I went in a Herc , up the flight deck, I sat at the FE spot touched the throttles. I knew dam well It was probably the last time. You cannot forget working on Hercules.................................Cheers!.................John Boy

But!!!!!!!!!.....what's the price range for a Herky, in a state of being ready to go for a museum!!!!........just the dead body!!!!.I do not like to say that!!!....I must admit.

...A very good morning!....you guys remind me the time in CFB Trenton. Sometimes it was your turn to be on a Herc wash job. At that time, the machine was all Al......clean the belly!!!!!!!!!!! What a pain!!!!...but you know, at that time as an Ae Tech, we always wanted to do ground runs!!!!....get the feelin'

Hi guys!!.I must admit that it is very interesting !. It brings back good memories.....Cheers!

they should have done a bit of paint job on 314 because it does not look too great!!

A very good day to you. Do you have 308 on your list! I beleive it just got retired or it will be soon. I beleive this one was overseas.war. Is 305 still in the circuit!!

The last list I saw had 305 and 308 still flying.

.I go with jrkaegi...........Wheel dolly. But!!!!!!!!!

Hey! hklm, If I'm not mistakin', 308 is retired or it will be soon,...coming back from that war overseas!!.

I must admit that the Super Connies "STEP" must have been something!!

Good day! I like this part of the forums!!!

good day guys. Concerning Maxtorq comment on the pitch lock check......you look the guy in the eyes and tell him " Do Not let go the switch until I tell you so!!"..it was scary a bit!!!

I still have my run up book. The FE seat is an interesting spot to be too!

The L-1011, an other Lockheed aircraft, was a powerfull machine to ground run too..................take care

.........and what about the feeling of a high power run, the nose bouncing up and down, the machine trying to escape by jumping the run up chucks.. you're in the cockpit, hands on throttles and doing the best you can to get the engine stats on the bouncing gauges!!!!!!!!! A feeling that I'll never forget.....................so good!!

Good day. My first time on this forum. And also my first look on a J model for the CAF. I feel like a bit lost with it. I am used to the E and H models. Gonna have to get used to it I suppose. It looks beautiful.
