Apparently these missions with ‘Old 666’ were not the only missions this bomber went on. It was stated that this aircraft went on several missions beforehand but it got shot to hell Every. Single. Time. So much so that it became known as ‘unlucky’ and was eventually sent to the boneyard to be cannibalized for parts.
The US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio has a large display dedicated to Old 666 and her crew. Among the items in the display is Captain Zeamer's Medal of Honor.
Funny story regarding the height requirement for pilots in the Air Force, my father originally joined the Air Force because he wanted to be a F-15 pilot, but he was too tall at 6'8, they made him a B-2 pilot instead.
Awesome flight crew that really should be a household name. Also there is this quote from What if the Emperor had a Text to speech about Dakka: "At the point in time when bullets can pass through the interdimensional walls. When firepower takes up the entirety and eternity of space and time, all being stuck in a neverending life and death cycle as bullets recover and destroy their bodies in quick succession. No one is able to think about anything but the sheer force of the bullets rapidly flying literally everywhere in the materium turning the warp itself into nothing but a sea of semi-automatic weaponry.. Then there will be enough dakka. Or, at least almost."
I request you watch the episode of the history channels show called "dogfights" that covers this fight. Its a show that uses cgi to recreate, breakdown and analyze the biggest dogfights in history. Was one of my fave shows when i was younger ❤
Former Dallas cowboys defensive end and two time Superbowl champion Chad Hennings was 6'-6" and before his NFL career he flew the A-10 warthog in combat missions
My first assignment in the Army after AIT as the 'New Guy' was unique. I came from school as a SP4(E-4) s I had been at the top of my class for the entire year of computer training. I was assigned to a long line communications company in Korea that ran a dozen microwave/tech control site, several telephone exchanges w/ an outside plant, a satellite terminal, and a computer data communications center. I was supposed to be working as a maintenance tech at the data center but the powers running the company decided to make me the Operations/Training NCO (an SFC/E-7 position) for the company responsible for coordinating all the different sites to work together. Then the MSG/E-8 I worked for took off for a months' vacation and left me in charge of the company. One hell of a first experience in the military, getting thrown in the deep in without a life preserver!
Hey, Old Man. I loved this reaction as always. Also, I saw a video you might like earlier. Habitual Line Crosser's video about the hypothetical war between the US and Poland.
So I'd suggest a Mattock instead of a pick axe. They work better, a pick and a blade shaped like a hoe. Most effective tool I know of. Also part of the reason for wanting shorter people in fighters is the G Forces are generally better tolerated by shorter people because they have shorter legs which is less space for the blood to pool in.
oddly enough, I feel some sort of pride for making it into the intro. lol. anyways, the one thing I wish the Fat Electrician made known is the name of the congressman that demanded that the Eager Beavers be rewarded because I'm so used to hearing about politicians screwing things up or lacking respect that this bit of information floored me.
I've had leaders that I would not follow out of the desert if I knew there was freshwater on the other side and I've had leaders that I would follow into the desert with no water because I know they are going to handle business I totally know what you mean
Yep. I found out even if I were to lose the excess weight I've got, I'm literally physically too wide to be a fighter pilot. I'm only 5'9" but my shoulder width is almost 20 inches, whereas the average is around 16. I think I could technically fit, but it'd be too cramped to use some of the required panels. And actually at this point I'm too old, but I just looked again, it's been a while since I checked, and I don't see any width specifications, so maybe that'd be alright. However, height and weight are specified. Height isn't as much of a problem now, as most modern fighter seats can accommodate most heights.
Dude. For once, the Fat Electrician might've missed a GOLDEN opportunity! About the time he is describing the recovery, stealing the parts for, restoration and modifications on Old 666 by the Eager Beavers - in my opinion - THAT is when you add in "THE A-TEAM" soundtrack and montage music! But it's a quibble because the rest of that video was so incredibly bad ass I can't complain too much about a missing music beat. 🤣
It sucks, BUT.... when you have to put a piece of equipment together from GOD-DAMNED PIECES because you had NO CHOICE... you WILL KNOW what every piece does, and why it does it. If you SURVIVE being thrown in the deep end, you have knowledge that CAN NOT BE RENTED for any amount of love or money.
What do you know about Fort Polk? I may be a US Navy Submarine Service veteran but, when I graduated high school, I was in the Louisiana Army National Guard and went to Fort Polk for basic training and AIT. I thought you were also a Navy vet. So, like I said, what do you know about Fort Polk?
Mario Warfare. Don't ask me why it's on this one, I watched all FE & your reacts to him & it's just at this moment something you might enjoy watching occurred to me. It's an older piece & it doesn't have to be a reaction video, but if you've never seen it...""ua-cam.com/video/SfbAk7Lr_yI/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared""
The majority of tv and movies are made for the majority of people. Unfortunately the majority of people are stupid so we get braindead sitcoms and reality tv. There is a reason I get my entertainment from youtube now and I haven't watched tv in years.
if you ever spoke like that to a woman in front of me or any of the men I know you'd be picking yourself up off the floor once you came to.... not a man AT ALL...
Better make that first punch count dipshit, I cannot imagine overreacting in such a way to two people, who are bloody married, talking casually with each other, are you and your friends such sad and fragile people that such a thing is that offensive to you?
I'm just going to leave it up, and just know everyone who's been on the channel five minutes is staring at this comment and laughing for more than one reason.
dude, grow up or at least grow some thicker skin. he didn't speak to her in any wrong way at all. it's obvious they were being playful about it and not at all threatening or rude.

0:01 Hey look it's me. Thanks for doing this one.
neat
That pet bed is a tax write off now
No, you need the Kreig spade. Plus, what chads. They turned a B-17 into a Ork Dakka Bomba! We need people like this.

spicy dorito are cool as well but not as F-15. i feel bad for him. if i was him i would try get post in B-1 or B-52
@@czarnynightI'm still waiting and hoping for them to come out with the second B1 bomber, the B1-R
Just like the Fat Electrician my room was invaded by onion cutting ninjas in the end.
Old Man: 😠...😠...😠...😠...😠... FINE.
Me: 🥳
Fun fact allied bomber crews had access to amphetamine through their rations to keep the alert and awake.
most European soldiers did too
Meth! 😁👍🏻
I love drugs

I think TFE video “Roy Benavidez “ might be the best yet
27:49 Yes! I was hoping you would say that in this video.

Yeah... back when you didn't need to _completely TURBO-simp_ for the channel _just to fucking pretend TO YOURSELF_ that it was worth a damn...
17:08 Pudge should have been called Pugh Pew.
I’ll let myself out now.
Ordered you some painting supplies off your amazon wishlist.. enjoy! love the videos
I know what you mean. I was the only IFF tech on my ship and when I got there I got handed a toolbox and told that the last IFF Left 6 months ago...

The only airframe that fit him.

These guys were the spiritual ancestors of the Orks aswell as the A-Team series.
This story absolutely deserves a movie...just not one by hollywood. Acorn TV would be my recommendation. =^x^=

Would be a great tv show or movie.
