      There is no maintenance in the world that can keep up with cold starting a vehicle and flooring it almost immediately after, even in hot temperatures. Let alone in colder temperatures. Rough life for those vehicles indeed.

    In 1973 we were going back to JUSMAGTHAI in Bangkok after home leave. We were at Hickam AFB waiting for the MAC charter. While at the passenger terminal the wailing klaxon went off and every last KC-135 was firing up to lift off. At least 25 stratos rolled taxiway. It was one helluva sight to see.

  • @seikibrian8641

    I was in the Strategic Air Command in the early/mid '70s, at the height of the cold War. My base had both B-52s and KC-135s, with a certain number on hot alert status, and a certain number on alert standby. The hot alert crews were quartered in a building near the runway that they couldn't leave, while the standby crews could roam the base in their alert crew vehicles. The back row at the movie theater, for example, was roped off and marked "Reserved For Alert Crew," and they parked backed in to reserved parking spaces. In an alert, rotating red beacons would activate at intersections notifying drivers and pedestrians to get off the road immediately, because high speed vehicles were coming soon. Interesting times.

      Always wondered why some of the aircrews were allowed to roam the base in their blue Dodge pickups, they must have been the backup crews. That klaxon horn was an attention getter, wasn't it? Every duty day at 1300 it would be tested, a cue for everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY on base to reflexively glance at their watch. It was either 1300 or say your prayers and be quick about it if you wanted to make it to amen. One of those Strangelovian things you just got used to. Ah, the good old days of the Cold War! ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

      When my dad got out of the USAF, he worked for FedEx Air teaching weight and balance. I used to love going to work with him, he'd sit me up on the plane with the open cargo door and run away and pretend it was taking off-I would just wave back and say bye. 😂💙

    The UK used to have a 4 minute warning only, the V Bombers would take-off in fours from dispersed airfields and each would turn a different direction on take off because they expected soviet MRBMs to target the flight path off the end of the runway as well as the airbase! They flew one way missions softening the soviet air defences defences for the USAF bombers and trying to avoid confliction with incoming US ICBMs on the way. The small land area of the UK expected to be hit with at least 200 nuclear bombs and warheads so no point in returning. London alone had at least 20 nukes targeted on it.

    This used to happen any day of the week, anytime of day or weather with B-52's and KC-135's on 15 minute ground alert with special weapons on the bombers!! For The Alert Force - Klaxon, Klaxon, Klaxon. I was stationed at Fairchild AFB with the 92d Security Police Squadron and we responded to all of them. Strategic Air Command had spot on procedures for the alert force, if anyone tried to get in the way they might be shot, but for sure have to stand before our 47th Air Division Commander a Brigadier General, and that visit would be remembered the rest of their lives!

      In 1976, there was an incident at the Korean DMZ. I was at Grand Forks AFB (SAC) at the time. I worked nites and happened to be in the barracks day room before going on shift that day. Base klaxons started going off and looking out the windows the rotating beacons at the intersections were on. We heard the shriek of the cartridge starters on the bombers accompanied by the brownish clouds from the starters. Then we could hear the TF33s of the bombers begin the spool up. Then we saw the tails of the bombers start to move along with sounds of the engines (J57s) on the tankers starting up. I told all the guys there to get to their shops cause something major was happening. I got to the shop, the Tsgt said that my spares were already on the truck and to grab my toolbox and go. As our avionics truck (M24) arrived at the entrance to the taxiway from the main flight ramp, the last of the tankers were still taxiing by. There were several other aircraft maintenance trucks sitting there besides ours and as the last tanker went by we followed it down the taxiway. There was something like 10 aircraft in front of us, with the first couple of alert bombers pulled out on the runway and all the others stationary behind them. We were all out there for about 45 minutes. Lot of scared looking faces in our truck. Nobody knew what was going on, there was no chatter on the radio. During alert exercises they would occasionally start engines on the alert pad - but they would never taxi out. Everybody knew we were in a bad situation - only good thing was that there would be no pain if an ICBM or SLBM came in. After the 45 minutes the first B-52H spooled up (TF33s have a dirty exhaust) and we thought well, here we go. But the aircraft were just taxiing back to the alert pad. All the shops started working on the aircraft once they stopped moving and while they were begin pushed back into their parking spots. To this day, I have immense respect for those flight crews. They were ready to go to war. I don't think there was one airplane that didn't have at least one system down. I think it took all the shops close to 24 hours to fix everybody and get our alert pad aircraft cocked back up on alert status.

    The old guy at 1:44 struggled to get to his van, making it wait. It would be faster if the building was on flatter ground, running down a slope is scary, one part of your brain is saying, if I trip and fall I'm going to do a lot of damage to myself. You're less likely to fall on flatter ground.

      That guy just retired after hitting 40 years as a baddass aircraft maintainer. He was definitely a little slower in the last few years, but no one who knows him wouldn't wait a minute for him to catch up. Truth is, though, in the real scenario...he was already at the jet, waiting for the crew.

      It's a nice enough idea; it would work only rather poorly.
      Nuclear missiles in silos require very robust bunkers and silos be built; even then, they are known to be vulnerable to direct hit. These planes are larger than those missiles; they are airline-size. They'd require severely large bunkers be built even to house in general, never mind for alert. It'd provide minimal protection overall and be cost-prohibitive to implement.
      There's no better "defense" for these assets than move them away from the target. ..Quickly.
      You see drills like this conducted precisely to be prepared for that need.
