Saw one in DC

Smaller than I expected. But very cool to see up close.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

Some people call 911..... some people are 911

One of the coolest planes ever, and a favorite of mine.

I'm still kicking myself for not visiting the Pima Air & Space Museum (where they have one) in Tucson in all of the times I've visited that city.  :-\

I hope to visit there this spring.  They have a cockpit in the Boeing Museum in Seattle that you can sit in.
He man, where are all the ads?

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

I helped change an engine in of of those at Buckley and got to sit in the Cockpit. The view all around in the canopy was different than what I expected. It was like laying on top of the airplane almost.

The F-16, not the C-21, right? ;)

Yes the F16. They let us Squids come over one day and "Help"
As nice a building the Naval Reserve center is it gets boring over there.

Did you know there is a ship board Damage control simulator in that building?
It has flooding water and watertight hatches and all that stuff.

I don't go over to that part of the base.  From the outside, and from overhead it does look like a nice facility.

I did not know about that simulator.  I remember the Navy Reserve used to have a submarine simulator, and a bunch of other stuff at site near I-25 & I-70.

Yea one of the things they do is get everyone Damage Controll qualified (DC qual)  was there for 5 weekend drills and the did my 2 weeks (right after I finished Airframe school in Cheyenne) in San Diego on the Carrier.

Even though My job was as a jet mechanic i spent most of the time on board learning ships systems & fire/DC control.

Everybody from the Skipper on down has to be qualed. Its kind of like having a fire on the airplane, if you dont get it put out youre screwed.
