    You must have done something right to get an incentive ride during an airshow. :)

    Wing guy, asked Radio if he would mind if I rode along, take pics. I wanted to see how it went to so if I end up flying one but then again, only lead needs to know how as the rest of em just hang on.

    BzB, I think what Helolumpy was getting at is that if the mission is to give the incentive ride, it's not a big deal (CO depending, of course). But if the mission is to do something else other than just the incentive ride, it's not authorized...at least in the helo community.

    Now if they're in the back, somewhat different story.

    First time I've ever noticed what strange landing gear the T-45 has, especially the mains.

    I almost said as much, but I figured I should get back to coloring. Which I will continue to do now.

    Are those dents in the nose? Seems like they would want to knock them out before they go airshowing.

    Catmando, betcha your FAC wouldn't have been so disappointed had you arrived on station with one of these gunpaks on your Pfantum's snotlocker! What an awesome antitank/personnel weapon. Sure kicked butt on the infamous road of death to end the '30-second war' in Iraq!:eek:
    EDIT: See above.

    It's from the boom of the tanker. Our jets get dinged by them every once and awhile.

    That's what you get when someone else refuels the jet.

    Waiting for that aviation blogger from the "EP-3 over Libya" thread to weigh in on that pic.

    "Here is what is clearly a secret USAF space shuttle about to be launched from either the E-4B NEACAP or YAL-1 Airborne Laser aircraft, with a fighter escort to shoot down any Chinese attack satellites that try to interfere."
