    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.

    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."

    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.

    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!

    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. 🤣

    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.
