  1. I honestly don't remember, but it probably had something to do with Amstel and/or Ouzo.
  2. I think you are right on the money, that they are used to create a larger wing area, allowing for slower speeds.
  3. I seem to remember a 7th SOS pilot hanging from a ceiling light in Bobby's II in Glyfada. Work Hard, Play Hard.
  4. Servicing the turbines in is 12JG-10-2, section 6. It is changed every ISO (450 days) and checked during HSC.
  5. I want to delete this post, but can't figure out how...
  6. I checked with my mom, and she told me she didn't remember a Mario's. BUT, she said they only went to one gift shop. I find that hard to believe, because if my dad could have saved a nickel, he'd have gone to another store. Lino's must have been giving him a deal he couldn't refuse, since he spent a couple grand every time he went down there.
  7. When I was a dependant at Spangquentin, Germany from 69-73, my dad would by those globe bars, alabaster and onyx stuff down there and resell it at Spang. Seems like there was more than one store, and there may have been a Mario's as well.
  8. Yea, a couple free nights to hit Orsini's and the Hole In The Wall pizza joint. It wasn't all bad.
  9. I know I worked at least 100 AWADS writeups on that damn thing.

    Funny stuff. Glad to see you are doing well with it. We had a guy in the shop that did the C-130 cartoon in the Pope AFB paper. He came up with some pretty good ones.
  11. Whatever the instruments do, the autopilot will try to follow when it's coupled to them. That AP1 and AP2 is kind of confusing anyway, but the AP1 is pilot's intruments, AP2 is copilot's. Y'all probably knew that though.
  12. Thanks for the kind words, everyone. She has changed a lot in the last few months, and here I thought the USAF would have to change to accomodate her! I'll never sell out maintenance. I've been doing this for 35 years now, and I can say that I am proud of anyone who has anything to do with A/C maintenance or operations. I'm just getting tired of shaking my head every time I see new changes come down, wondering what the hell these people are trying to do to my Air Force. My neck feels like I've been sitting through a 7-6, 6-7, 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 tennis match. To quote Lt. Col Frank Slade, "If I were the man I was 5 years ago, I'd take a flame thrower to this place!"
  13. Yea, it all started going downhill with P.C. Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a Turd by the clean end.
  14. My wife got it at a German sports store by Ramstein. Just about all the other 500 pieces of Bitburger stuff I got on German ebay or at Flohmarkts.

  16. My daughter was promoted to Airman on 17 July. She's now at Sheppard for tech school, and no, it doesn't have anything to do with aircraft maintenance. I told her to do anything but, with the way they treat maintenance people these days, and it seems to keep going downhill. I remember when I was in, it wasn't so bad when we were knee deep in shit, until they told us to stand on our heads. BOHICA! A picture of us out at the break area by the Dorm.
  17. This is the real Alamo. Don't know how long it's been like this. As for the picture of me with the wedding party, I just had to do it. Even all the bridesmaids were laughing. Actually, everyone thought it was funny except the groom. But, look what he is wearing, and it was over 100 that day.
  18. I was there from 1998 to 2001, at the 'Dorf.
  19. It won't work for the same reason Lockheed doesn't make the H model anymore, there's more money in the J, especially when they have a contract for maintenance and engineering coverage. Cha-$$$$-Ching.
  20. Just going through some showboxes full of pictures and I found this one I took while on the way on one of the many TDYs from Rhein Main circa 1980.
  21. OK, so I had to take a pic of the ornament I got in Alaska as a door prize...
  22. Zak, If memory serves me correctly, it was happening during ILS approaches, and they changed the large filter caps that are mounted on the back of the NIRP. The caps smooth out the Loc and G/S signals. GACFaja, Does the aircraft porpoise in all modes, and at all times?
  23. If this is it, the NSN is 4730-01-100-8710, there are some available in supply. Sorry Mike, I was bored. Please submit an AFTO22 and add the clampblock as Fig 2, Item 11, since it is part of the 373528-1 bracket assembly, Item10. You can actually order the whole assembly, there are some of them is supply as well. tINY
  24. They briefed at the PIWG that they are using a milling machine from the F15 depot floor to drill holes in the new longeron after the machine measures the hole pattern on the old one. It was supposed to cut quite a bit of time off the entire job.
