Ferrari Mailing List: Re: A real low level

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

Now you are dating yourself... Mid 70's, Sacramento, I was finishing High School and off to Canoe U in 77.

F-111 escape pod...  Its still there....  I'm a regular at the Air Museum there and its on display in the main hall.  Surprised that one of the cables that it hung on under parachute ran in the channel between the forward windscreens.  Last time I was there I (to visit my Scooter and Turkey) I raised a stink because they had a J58 sitting on a cart OUTSIDE in the weather.   I scolded the director that the heart of a God deserved to be inside and out of the weather.  Had a friend in the neighborhood whose dad was a test pilot on the Aardvark.  That plane messed him up big time.  Guess the early iterations were no joy.  He was flying a desk by the time I knew him.

As for LOW..  low is when you are on the wet deck and with "ground effect" you start to feel the wave peaks.  Think Ekranoplan... (but not THAT low)

REALLY LOW is when the Hawkeye forgets to set the correct mode on his radar and puts your Dash course right over the Orkneys (Shetlands?) and the US Gov't has to buy 2 older ladies on Fair Isle new clotheslines and replace a bunch of laundry that got drug out to sea....  I think there were some thatched rooves that got repaired as well. Why do people live out there??!?

F-111 -- Many years ago, in the mid 1970’s, I had a weekend stint at McClellan Air Force Base, Sacramento, CA.  Nosing about I located a command module for one of those beasts.  The pilot and the other guy flew side by side.  Apparently if the machine got into trouble the whole command module could separate from the fuselage and could be flown independently.  But then what?   Come down from 1,650 mph and jump?  Clyde – you can jump in here anytime.

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 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).
