firehawkordy Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 This popped into my head today at work, writing down todays date, 12 DEC 08, I had a memory from my days as a Roof Rat. In 1980 I had to refuel an EA-3D for that days flight. The fuel point is in the left main mount bay and I had to climb inside to get to it. With nothing to do as the Whale took it's 20k+ pounds of fuel I read the builders plate, date of acceptance 12 DEC 59. I was working on a bird six months older than me. For some reason that old Skywarrior came to mind today, I hope it's enjoying a retirement in a museum or a air stations "petting zoo". Nothing important like I said just a random thought.
+Wrench Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Great thread title!!! Those are, pretty much, the only kind of thoughts I HAVE been having of late!!!! Very cool factoid on the Whale! Wrench kevin sten
+pcpilot Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Cool factoid. Funny how little things like that memory will pop into your mind. Makes me smile when I remember something like that.
Atreides Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Dont know if I'm jacking this thread but here are some goodies:- Are 8 yr olds who fight during their hockey games having a bad influence on NHL players Why is a building called a building, once it's finished shouldn't it be called a BUILT ? Do ageing skinheads worry about hair growth ? What do you yell at a duck to lower it's head ? Royal CAF !
+ST0RM Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Hmm, interesting coincidence. Funny how the mind works. Cheers!
