Primitive turn coordinator

[AC]

What is being demonstrated here?

[jimmydeanno]

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

[SarDragon]

Something approaching proper cockpit liquid management?

Poor cockpit liquid management?

[Eclipse]

A 1-G turn?

[MSgt Van]

An apparent very coordinated turn.

[AC]

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

Also, the Air Force still likes CAP!

[AC]

They let me fly the boom.

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.

[AC]

Which seat, Mike?

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!)
