I remember liking that movie. Hated the Europe song with the same name though, despite the catchy keyboard rif.

Mark, I hate to say it, but I did love that film. I wish they would redo it, but this time just ahead and wipe the other air force.
Dean, I was pretty sure you meant that you were in the refueling plane (could not recall if any F22 had 2 seats) and was fully jealous of that experience. That would be a wild sight. I'm still shocked they do mid-air refueling, although I know it is routine. Reminds me of the old bi-planes hooking up to the blimps. G. Lucas could not come up with a wilder concept.
Finally, I have to apologize for helping hijack one of the more interesting threads we have had in a while. Someone feel free to break in with some results from testing the 1400 v 3809.

I've only heard the keyboard riff, but it sure makes GOB look cool in Arrested Development!

...results from testing the 1400 v 3809. Who got a 3809? Must be from Roswell or Area 51...

[snippage] it still amazes me how small the F16 is.
I recall when we had a FAC with us on a training mission. After I called in CAS, the FAC asked me if my men would like a small fly-by over the hill we were on. I said, sure, why not, the mission's over and the trainer called admin time. (After missing the hill the first time, got vectored to the wrong hill) the two F16s flew *RIGHT* over our heads. I could see the eye color of the pilot, it was that close. What the FAC didn't tell us was how loud the stupid engines were! Oh man, our ears were ringing after that fly by! And we were used to grenades and .50 cal MGs going off! It absolutely amazed me that a) they could drop those 500lb's right on target - danger close no less and b) how small they were and c) how loud they were. On another trip down memory lane, I remember being on top a large hill in Ft. Carson. It was early morning and I was on rattle snake patrol for the rest of the company (walking around the area looking for rattle snakes). Then down the valley, I saw some fast movers coming in. It turned out to be two A6's on a traing mission. They were flying NOE and I was able to look *down* at them as they flew in between the valleys. With the morning sun coming up, morning haze in the valley, it was a SPECTACULAR view. That's one sight I'll cherish for a long time! (just realized I used too many acronyms. FAC == forward air controller. He's the AF weenie that follows us Infantrymen to call in air support. CAS = Close air support. Danger Close = friendlies within X meters of the target. It varies with munition and type of air/arty support. NOE == nap of earth, where pilots fly close to the earth to avoid radar detection. Admin time = no longer tactical, you can smoke and joke)

Thank god you explained the acronyms!
I had the knife right at my testicals and just shouted (to no one in particular) "I won't be needing you guys anymore!" when I saw the last paragraph.

Haha, do it Mark, do it
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

LOL I loved that movie, great call Mark! For some reason this movie popped into my mind whenever I read your post, The Philadelphia Experiment ... remember that one. Hey I have 1.2 hours actual F-16 simulator time logged in my book ... during an in-briefing at an Airshow that I flew into at McDill AFB in Tampa the AF personnel had a raffle drawing for an hour of F-16 simulator time in their training facility, out of 175 folks my name was the only name drawn, that was neato.

What do you fly? Most of the pilots here use noise canceling headphones. I tried someone’s pair and didn’t think that they did much of anything. Dean I do cropdusting, you all do your flying above 15k', all of mine is done below 500'. I've flown most ag planes at one time or another either spraying or fire fighting, my favorite is the AT-802 and my current ride is an AT-502 ... the 802 is a 1300shp 800 gallon hopper airplane and the 502 is a 750shp 500 gallon hopper airplane. Little guys compared to yours. I've tried the noise cancelling helmets but really don't care too much for them, I couldn't tell enough of a difference to justify the price difference.
