  1. I heard the 50th was to be reactivated at MacDill AFB as a tanker unit. 913th AG and 327th AS are still at KLRF, still have a token legacy crew but they're in the J model conversion mode.
  2. Crew chief may have been at 61k, bet the airplane was at 6100'
  3. As I recall there was a sign in Base Ops that said in part " when crossing the departure end of the runway you MUST be in a positive climb attitude". Even in day VMC there was a visual illusion of being excessively nose high as everything turned blue, sky and water seemed to merge at times. Perfect setup for spatial d.

    I think this aircraft was at Hurlburt for a while and used as an inflight refueling trainer for new Spectre crews prior to doing an actual inflight refueling with an AC130H. It was also used for pilot pro work at Hurlburt if I remember correctly.
  5. When it's all said and done though, the close calls make some GREAT stories at the bar!
