The ability to fall asleep in one of the best seats in a KC-135?  ;D

Something approaching proper cockpit liquid management?

Poor cockpit liquid management?

An apparent very coordinated turn.

Bingo! You are all correct! Maybe Sir Isaac Newton was smart.

Also, the Air Force still likes CAP!

Go to YouTube and watch the videos of Bob Hoover pouring a cup of tea while doing a roll in a AeroCommander. Doesn't spill a drop!

They let us wear BDUs when I flew...  Didn't get down in the back, so I got to sit up front for landing.

Behind the AC across from the Nav.  Not the jump off the center console.

They were real cool about our ride. They let pretty much everybody get a turn at both cockpit time and lying down at the boomer's station.

When I went into the cockpit, the AC's seat was vacant. He was in the latrine. When he came back, I told him I was about to take his seat....He said "Go ahead!"

On my KC-135 flight some years ago, we were taxiing in to "hot drop off" our pax and the stan-eval nav so the crew could go back out and get some pattern training.  The AC says "OK, whose getting out here?" and there is a chorus of "mes" from the Nav, the stan-eval nav, and the co-.   The AC looks over his shoulder at me (sitting jump) and says "Well, there, Major, looks like you get the right seat on this evolution.."

(Sheeya, right!)
