Last week I saw multiple odd named flights of 4 engine jets with no destination out of Mildenhall and Crete flying patterns that were probably NATO EC-135s being refueled air to air. USAF flight never show.
An expensive BO BO. Regardless of why it happened we know who will catch the heat. Command is between a rock and a hard place. Nobody hurt. The boneyards have got cowlings and engines.
747s are wonderful. They could deliver fill dirt if they wanted to. They were still finding coal dust from the Airlift in the c-47s and c-54s when they retired them. I wonder what a 747 loaded with onions would smell like for the next 5 years?
I rode that route in 141's back in the early 70's. The only thing that melts in the summer in Greenland is the ice in the salt water. "Woman behind every tree".
