I spent from 1962 to 1966 in the 4080 SRW in Texas and then Davis-Monthan AFB doing photo recon analysis of the film. It is a great airplane and the pilots were the best. I should have stayed longer because then we went to Beale AFB and the SR-71 came into being.

I have a buddy that has 30,000 hours of flying in C-130 and various Boeing jets. He is now retired for over 9 years and his last job flying 777 he achieved over 5000 hours and he said after such a long layoff from the cockpit he was not sure he could land a plane in the incapacitated example used here.
I got a buddy that has 30,000 hours in C-130 and boeing aircraft, he is retired now 9 years from his latest assignment which was nearly 6000 hours in a 777 and he said to me, hell I am not sure I could do it anymore.
