Not Work Safe .

. . . bleed air leaks, engine exhaust, hot hydraulics, fuel, swamp ass and farts. Ah, the good ol' days(?).

There's nothing like standing in the prop wash when 12 Herkies are doing engine run-ups.

...or the ramp during helo departures and hearing that transition as the rotor blades load and begin generating lift.

I love it all.

Military aircraft have a distinctive smell, and when you have been around them for a hot minute you can differentiate by sound. One of the many things I miss about growing up in eastern NC (New River MCAS, Cherry Point MCAS, Seymour Johnson AFB all within about 75 miles), and certainly flying as air crew.

I "impress" the kids all the time when I call the aircraft before they fly over and pick the direction they are coming from. We get 47-F, 130-H, 130-J, Griffon, Cormorant and Globemaster.

Who knew the term “shotgunning a beer“ started with a real shotgun?

I remember seeing film of some Army dudes in Vietnam using a pump shotgun for a bong. If they’d done that where we were they wouldn’t have lasted a week.

Great, now we're gonna' invade Iraq.

Great, now we're gonna' invade Iraq.

I think you are right - and beside, what other choice to we have?
...after all, it isn't war profiteering if its tied to countering violent extremist organizations.
...all is well - remain calm.


Nothing to see here - move along.

I think it's Brazil's turn.
