He is only half of a real crew chief. He does the wrenching, but not the flying.
:cool:

Watch you tongue there buddy. I was a FCC (Flying Crew Chief) before i came here to Texas. Ive done my fair share of sleeping in planes, in terminals, with foreign ladies. Staying up wrenching all night after flying all day to make the next mornings sortie. Been there done that. I enjoy what i do now. (If Crew Chiefs could fly on this pig, you know damn well i would be on her.)

[Vortex]

Don't know about you "airmens" and your little toys but down in AMR1 of the former USS Mahlon S. Tisdale (FFG-27) by the squawk box the name of a plankowner is chiseled into the beams; I doubt the Turkish Navy has found it yet!

Some of my favorite examples:

[Blk Mamba]

When I was in the wing of the USMC, I had a turn up license, while shutting down an EA-6A one day I took it around the horn to 100%, just as I was ready to shut down, it jumped the chocks, and flew about 10 feet, wow did I get my ass chewed, till they found a stuck fuel valve.

[JamesHecker]

First of all...multi million dollar? I thought the "b" in B-1 stood for billion! :-)

Secondly...thanks for posting the cool video! I recognized Edwards :-)

Thirdly...thank for your service! My boy is a medic so I have a high degree of gratitude of those in service...regardless of branch :-)

[Mike M]

Fan Freakin Tastic!

I love the B-1, was pissed when Carter canceled the high alt/high speed version (The A version had more of a "spine" on the upper fuselage). Happy when Reagen brought it back (B version). Really ahead of it's time, small radar cross section, advanced avionics. One of my favorite planes to see at the air shows.

You da man!

[Motorhead350]

I have my name and picture in the post office!

[juno]

We just eliminate them a country or three at a time.

Ummm not to upstage anyone here, but, I did infact have my name stencilled on the windshield of a hummvee, and presently have it stencilled on a 20 ton dump truck. Top that one. B2 Bomber... Bah....

I watched a C-5 jump chocks and go about 40 feet towards a hanger once. :eek:

They were bought for 285 Million, but, you better believe that it takes Billions annually to fly and maintain them :cool:

That just looks like one ass-kicking machine. Chopper don't look too bad, either!

[CBT]

Nah, I was and always will be a lover not a fighter...unless I have to fight.:shake: You need to splain to these slimy civillians that "FOD" means Foreign Object Damage.:eek:

[-Matt-]

Hey bro, what does the DCC and ACC stand for?

Dedicated Crew Chief and Assistant Crew Chief.


Even though I am ACC on the door, I am now currently the DCC.

[dakslim]

Huh? An innocent question from you???? Yes my rank was L/Cpl and my last name is Sweet. Yeah, c'mon, bring it on...I've heard 'em all!:D

[Phrog_gunner]

That's what she called him.

[CBT]

I don't have a joke, lol. The thread was about names on aircraft, I figured I'd ask if that was yours.

[dakslim]

That's what she called him.

Hey, pipe down, boot!:shake:

[Phrog_gunner]

That was a compliment, Archibald Henderson. Be nice, or I'll stop paying your social security.

No offense...I just get as nervous as "a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs" when you and CBT post. :argue: Archie and I quaffed a few back in the day.:beer:

I know bro, Im just giving you a hard time. The B-1 is my favorite Aircraft to support... but we really did have a hard time getting them off the ground. They were down to a 48% launch rate when I was working with them. But to me they are by far the coolest A/C to watch.

[-Matt-]

Cool as hell... you need to get me a ride next time i go to Reno!!

[-Matt-]

They were down to a 48% launch rate when I was working with them.

Thats actually a good rate lol.... we are right around 36% right now :rolleyes:

[-Matt-]

Here's my plane and I, we just got picked to be the plane for the static display for the up coming airshow (they normally only pick the good looking planes :cool:)

That's me, third from right:
