Stolen from Strategypage. Nice image!Attachment 52371
I'm assuming some of you guys have been to airliners.net right? I used to go there to get desktop background photos. There are thousands of really phenomenal photos there.
I used to have a few of my photos on JetPhotos.net, but I'll be damned if I can find them anymore [Rant1]
Looks like fun! Attachment 53335
Wow, the trouble I could have gotten into with that thing!!!
I barely survived childhood as it is.
Yep, you can imagine these guy's going off a jump/ramp, getting towed or just heading into a good breeze.
Until someone (probably quite a few) got hurt and they went the way of dangerous fireworks, lawn darts and other fun things.
No doubt a thrill to see AND HEAR from that angle, nice! I'm convinced the C-17 is a great aircraft but have heard they are working double time (through the years) with world issues which adds up to limited airframe hours.
Questions to USAF guys out there, Is it as good as they say? What is the maintenance hr per flight hr?
