And the reason for a Canadian classic...
Sent from my iPad
Thanks for the memories Clyde. We were stationed in Misawa in
'70-'71 and I did a bit of low level there. It was particularly beautiful
in the wintertime; Sapporo was nearby, and we would come by the Ski Slopes just
far away enough so that they couldn't get out tail numbers. Spent a lot of
time TDY to the KUN on Nuke alert. Fond memories of my late wife and
oldest son 4 (now 50) playing in the snow.

During training you flew 480 knots ground speed initially
IP to target 540 ground speed
Egress depending on the threat 600 to supersonic
I flew Reconnaissance Phantoms the only defense you had was speed and
tactics
Now if you can believe this we used to do that video at night in the
mountains
It’s called Terrain Following only us the the F-111 and the A-6 could do
that at night in the rocks as we used to call it.
It was fun but dangerous a night TF ride in the Appalachian Mountains was
not for the weak of heart !

Awesome, thanks for sharing that! I couldn’t help but crank
my head side-to-side as he was doing those banking turns.
What kind of speeds are we looking at in this segment? He
was flying over populated areas, which I’m sure must have startled the people
below.
I know the subject was brought up a week or so ago, but
man, having your own fighter jet just to play around would be incredibly
thrilling.
They mentioned the Italian’s training flights in Goose Bay,
Canada. My uncle worked for nearly all of his life at Canadair and started his
career working on the Sabre, finishing up with the Challenger business jet
when he retired. Did many jobs, but for the most part was a foreman. He was
sent up back in the ‘80s to Cold Lake, Alberta... He was never allowed to talk
about it! Probably had something to do with the “Peanut” (CL-227 Sentinel).
His only remarks was that it was too damn cold (I suppose he never clued into
the name of the place).
