    My dad flew the F 105 in Vietnam ( 354th Tactical Fighter Wing.. based out of Thailand ). He was part of the early Wild Weasel Missions. ( YGBSM !!! 😀). He later transferred over to F-4's. In Jan 69 he was shot down and although the guys in the flight saw his 'chute and the P.J.'s attempted to rescue him, he was never located and designated M.I.A. presumed dead. I ended up joining the Marines and became an aviator, flying F-18'S, then transitioned to AV-8's. I PROUDLY wore my dad's wings above my own on my flight jacket. I have very, very fond memories of him.

    An older pilot once gave me great advice when following a checklist, he said, "Its a checklist, not a to-do list". He meant that you should memorize everything but refer to the checklist before proceeding. Great advice.

      Back in the Air Force Academy in Brazil, there's a "game" where you spin a wheel filled with various kinds of failures that might happen. When the wheel stops, you must say the full checklist in order to solve the failure you get. The prize is not getting sent to flight counsel and probably kicked out of the academy. So, yeah, i strongly recommend to know your checklists if you wanna be a military pilot. Fly safe! :)

    I am Norwegian, yes. Sound recording is tricky. In this case it was done by hooking a sound cable directly onto helmet microphone connectors and plugging into the external audio connection in camera. Non-Balance in impedances between the two sets of headsets and the camera made the radio/intercom dull for as long as the camera was connected. Camera sound came out loud but good (I think), but picks up all sorts of breathing in the mask. I will experiment with hooking onto the loudspeaker elements the next time to pick up all communication. I have also tried putting a microphone in the headset to record sound (thus avoiding impedance issues totally), but result was poor.

      can you tell me what the function of the fuel cock is?

    • @airmale72
      @airmale72  10 років тому +27

      James m The Fuel Cock openes up a valve that admits Fuel to the Engine. Before you open it, you turn on an electrical Fuel Pump and initiate the electrical Starter Motor sequence (involving revving up and providing ignition). If you open up the Fuel Cock all the way immediately, the Engine will experience rumble. To avoid this, you must open the Cock slowly. Great fun to awake the VK-1!

      Pneumatic brakes. Pull lever for compressed gas release to be used in braking and turning. Russians like to use gas for cheaper, simpler planes, while the west uses liquid systems (hydraulics). Both systems have their pros and cons, just take some getting used to for transitioning pilots

      Erling Wiig There is no "single engine turbine" rating or license. Any turbojet aircraft requires a type rating, or in the case of a jet warbird possibly a Letter of Authorization to fly. As far as time requirement I doubt any insurance co would cover a pilot in a jet warbird with only 1000 hrs total time. The guys flying these aircraft have several thousand hours of flight time on avg.

    • @erlingwiig4098
      @erlingwiig4098 7 років тому +5

      I got the rules mixed up. In my country you would need a Single Engine Turbine Rating. Requirements in US are 1000 hours, in my country this is not the rule. Requirements for insurance also varies greatly, depending on which country younfly in.

    • @totoritko
      @totoritko 9 років тому +16

      airmale72 It's really quite logical if you think of the gyro ball as always being level with the ground and you're looking at it from the outside. Then it makes sense that "above" the horizon line would be ground and below sky, because if you're looking at the ball from above, you're going into the ground. Western-style attitude gyros tend to model the perception as if you're sitting "inside" the ball.
      I don't think either way is "better". It's really a question of what you're used to.
