Uhhhh….that’s Bumfuck City, OK.They’re going to miss Bumfuck, OK
My understanding is that they are going back to doing boomers only, but I could be very misinformed.Is it totally back to the future then? What about the joint mission they have been flying?
Guess the boys at Tinker got tired of tell Navy crews to put on their covers, and not walk on the ramp.My understanding is that they are going back to doing boomers only, but I could be very misinformed.
... says the Service that wears flight helmets on the airport ramp while doing a walk around... and at the same time wearing the worst ejection seat harness ever invented... carrying every piece of water survival equipment known to man around their horse collar... while getting ready to fly a sortie over the Mojave Desert in the middle of the summer.Don't forget reflective belts
I can defend this even though I was among many who found a reason not to wear a helmet walking around a plane. Maybe it is more common now. But it has to be true that you are not exempt from hearing damage because you are pre-flighting a plane. Bet you have been on a CV deck during flight ops.

According to Combat Aircraft, it looks like the EC-130J is more of a test at this point, but may become the replacement towards the end of the decade. They just upgraded the E-6s, so I’d be surprised if they’ll retire them in the short term. Curious to see if any of our resident E-6 bubbas have any amplifying information.My understanding is that they are going back to doing boomers only, but I could be very misinformed.
I'd have a response, but some enlisted dude just faceplanted me on the pavement with an M4 in my back for stepping over a paint line while walking on my own jet . . .Guess the boys at Tinker got tired of tell Navy crews to put on their covers, and not walk on the ramp.
Hard duty, but someone has to do it.My brother, an E-3 guy, is headed to Australia for 3 years to get all of the E-7 quals he can so he and a few others can be the initial cadre of IPs at the FTU at Tinker.
Hey, some orders are hell...Hard duty, but someone has to do it.
