That's definitely an F-14. Didn't you see Iron Eagle? That movie was filled with them... very historically accurate, too!

I got my commercial at Langley AFB and there was something I noticed there. The locals, Ferds F-15s, were relatively quiet. If there was a noise abatement procedure they must have followed it.

It was the out of towners, B-1 on rare occasion, F-16s, sometimes even F-18s, that just lit it up.

I still think one of my favorite airplane memories was driving my pure awesomeness Ford Ranger over at Navy Norfolk and coming to a stop at a red light that I didn't realize was an active taxiway. So I'm just sitting there and then all of a sudden this E-2... I mean KC-135... comes rolling past me at a high speed while folding it's wings.



To a kid that was easily impressed by just about anything, especially shinny lights and objects and just about any girl within reason, that was really cool.

And I knew it was a KC-135 because it was very different from a C-141. See the difference?

I always wondered why they called it the lizard. It really does look like one there.

Newk did lots of flap 0s on the 9, said he didn't like the drag.

Thanks to youtube, I'm sufficiently afraid to fly now.

Yes. I think that's an F-14. I heard a guy who was trying to pick some girl up say he used to fly them in the Air Force. He then pulled out a picture of one -- looked like it was torn out of a magazine -- and it looked just like that.

Little late on the flaps, no big deal

I think that's called the takeoff configuration warning induced flap command.
