SA-8?
Nope. Wazzat?
But
just thinking about it – would be cool break sound barrier as low as you could
over known SAM sites. Might even rattle Jane Fonda – if she was
there.

"I have
looked up at Stuckey’s signs" now there is a Clyde
classic.
(had to go
to my ACM flash cards for the
"shackle")
I used to
love to "hold" a shockwave on the deck. Just aft of the
ailerons was
controllable.
Saw the
Navy F111B on the ground at NAS Oceana once. Not
impressed.
Kind of
the Bradley fighting vehicle of the sky. Tried to do too much
with one airframe. Designed by committee and I'm not
talking Fighter Mafia.
I saw
cockpit footage of a "bleed-air blimp" trap on a carrier....
now there was some flying! Not sure it would have
survived a Bolter and heard it was lucky he caught 2
wires!
I have
looked up at Stuckey’s signs on low levels in Kansas and
Nebraska
A lot of
those levels were right over interstates going east/west out
there between the medians
I remember
once when I was very aggressive
And very
young , I thought I could fly under an interstate over pass
!
I was
maybe 10’ off the deck doing 480 ground speed ( that’s a mile every
6 seconds for you civilians) with a great WSO and saw it on the
horizon
Decided
better not and I am here because of
it
I could do
a shackle at 100’ and not even think about it when I was in my
prime!
Did you
ever see the F-111B model that the navy tested on the
boat?
There is a
picture of it somewhere
When Mac
was trying to make the F-111 an
I would
have loved to see that trap!
Scars are
tattoos with better stories!
When you're out of F-4's you're out
of fighters!
I have a
great friend who lost her dad when they were testing TF on a B52
on the east coast... Elephant
Mountain.
Yes a TF
failure could mean death at night
Phantom
was hand flown along with the
A-6
The
F-111 was on autopilot and it was mandatory!

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).
