I did that rotation for a month, of course, after they killed the $75 a day per diem. I didn't know it was called that, though. That was with our regular dumb and AWADS birds, from what I recall.

I still remember the nasty food and the milk residue on the glasses at Khorat.

This is off the front of the TCTO. Have you tried to contact Warner Robins?

Laptop at McDonald's... Good luck on a smooth move.

And I thought they were called gust locks.

Someone asked me about Pictures of Bat-60 aircraft. I am clueless, can anyone fill me in?

I am probably wrong, but I don't think there is a T.O. that deals with that.

Thanks for all your hard years of service! 5 more months for me...

In that kind of situation, why would you worry about anyone riding the brakes?

Really isn't anything there besides the contactor, GCU and the light assy. You can pull the wire off the terminal board that goes to terminal 2 of the light assy, though I have no idea what aircraft you have, so I can't say what the TB or terminal # is. ESU-TB5A, terminal 9? See if the light goes out. If it doesn't, the light assy circuit is bad.

I sent you a pvt message

Both lizards are of the gecko family. I believe the house lizards were called chinchooks, and the FU lizards Tokays.

WOW, I am dumbstruck. Thanks to everyone for rocking your wings for my son. http://valdostadailytimes.com/obituaries/x657341187/Justin-Paul-Clark

My heart goes out to you Dan. I lost a dog & my prostate last year, and my son was diagnosed with oral cancer. Never drank, smoked or dipped. He is lying in bed at home right now with we don't know how many weeks to live. It was bad year all right. Cancer sucks. http://www.cafepress.com/+cancer-sucks+bumper-stickers

They are slowly going away. The big thing with C130 T.O.s is IETM, Integrated Electronic Tech Manual. It helps you troubleshoot and highlights wires to check in the diagrams. Still ain't working tho. I submitted an AFTO22 to explain how the 26VAC is used by the anti-skid system during self test. I was told by the "subject matter expert" that the technicians didn't need all that information. I am so glad I am retiring in 5 months. It's not so bad that being in maintenance means you are knee deep in crap all the time, it's when you have to stand on your head in it is when it really hurts.

I dunno, I didn't get here until 2007.

I've never has any luck trying to get any info out of anyone. A basic block diagram sure would be nice. Of course, we don't need all that useless information any more, or an avionics backshop either. All you need to fix probems are the job guides and F.I.s. This is the kinder and gentler AF. I will re-engage the issue and see what I can come up with. They had a 241 backshop up at Marrietta years ago, and an old comm/nav gal from Rhein Main worked there, but I can't remember her married name so can't get in touch. Attached it the very basic diagram out of the (H)H-2-11

I'm just busting your chops. Back in the day, SSgts didn't make that much, and my dad would find any way he could to save money, which he usually spent on us kids. Those cross-country trips were murder though. 3 kids in the back seat, with a dog, driving through the mojave desert with no A/C. Wake up at 6 to get going, drive until it was dark. But, even with all that, there are some good and lasting memories.

Am sure the Moody outfit will miss Tiny's expertise when he retires. Do they have Stop Loss for AFETS?

I know they are getting ready to hire a few, maybe in October, for the J models that D-M is getting, though that isn't cut in stone. We will be having our ACC lead conference next month, so I will try to pinpoint what is going to be going on for hiring. Do keep in mind that there aren't that many of us ACC AFETS around the USAF. AFSOC has their own program.

There is an arrow on the knob, showing that the knob is turned in the clockwise direction.

Put it in a hangar for avionics work? HAH! I started crimping center pins on coax lines on the AWADS RADAR system during one winter at Ramstein, circa 1979. It was so cold in the radome the solder iron wouldn't work. I think I've said on here before that it was always a break to have to work an enroute C141 when all the radar toads in the 435OMS were on leave or whatever. The crew chief usually had the APU running with the heat on.

You musta been a rich kid. Or... my dad was bull$h!tting us.

The radio was better on a C141, as there was a speaker in the fligth deck. We used to listen to AFN sports in Germany. The tuner of the DFA-73 was a bit better than the ARN-6, it had transistors. I still can't believe we have systems with vacuum tubes on our aircraft. It's a frikkin' travesty. But hey, we do have blue force tracker, SADL, Whizbang-the-crap-out-of-it-to display-it-on-the-RADAR-screen and do a temp install. If we could buy a frikkin vowel, or a war, it would be nice.

Eggsactly, it's the second harmonic of 121, the first is 242, the second is 363, the third is 484. Each harmonic is much weaker than the original frequency. The harmonics also work in reverse, Half of UHF 263 would be 131.5. The next time you are out on an airplane, try this. transmit on HF at 10 MHZ with the VOR on. If I remember correctly, all the marker beacon lights will come on. 10 MHZ is the IF freq of the MB receiver. Oh yea, HF 27.185 is channel 19 on the CB.
