Who says the Tomcat can’t dump and burn?
Reading this morning about navy pilot Tom Chesire. His fuel dump switch was left open and when it took off the ABs lit it off. He almost ejected because he thought he was on fire. Yikes!

I will say this every single time… Thank God for Martin Baker!
Yesterday, a U.S. Air Force T-6A Texan II crashed near Seguin, Texas. Both pilots successfully ejected using the Martin-Baker US16LA Ejection Seat. #EngineeringForLife

On this day: 71 years ago, company test pilot Cariton B. Ardery made the first flight of the Republic F-105 Thunderchief (October 22, 1955). Originally developed as a low-altitude nuclear attack aircraft, the big, tough and fast F-105 quickly evolved into a multi-role fighter, equally apt at shooting down MiGs, dropping bombs, and hunting SAMs over the hostile skies of Vietnam. It became a true icon of the 1960s.

Aviation excellence, we used to complain a lot less and did a lot more.
This week marks the 44th anniversary of a truly remarkable day at MCO: the dual landing of Concorde aircraft from Air France & British Airways. 🛬 The historic event took place in 1982 to celebrate the opening of EPCOT's World Showcase and its France and United Kingdom pavilions

RIP. Tom Skerritt will live on through all his great films. My favorite role he played was VIPER, a legend 🙏
Tom Skerritt, the prolific, award-winning actor known for his roles in "M*A*S*H," "Alien," "Top Gun," and "Picket Fences," has died. He was 93. Skerritt died Wednesday from natural causes, his family confirmed in a statement shared with USA TODAY. "We are heartbroken by his loss," the family said. "While the world knew Tom through his remarkable acting career, we knew him for his humor, curiosity, wisdom, generosity, and the love he brought into our lives."

Two aspects of BRS that media miss: 1/ BRS is part of a family tradition & so much of armed forces' recruiting base is children carrying this on-alienate this base at your peril 2/ BRS' parents are great Australians & have been through all of his deployments & now this saga

This is a flash back to last year’s Wings Over North Georgia Airshow in Rome last October. Normally “Scooter” Scott Yoak and “Torc” Jim Tobul fly their Quick Silver and "Korean War Hero" F4U-4 Corsair together in Rome for their The Class of 45 demonstration...
