I was wondering how many folks out there have experience in military aviation. I was a Navy Air Intercept Controller. What were you in your current or past life?

Well My old man was a C-5 Galaxy flight engineer when I was growing up. I grew up on C-5's C-141's and KC-135's living in Altus Oklahoma.

The C-5 is the one plane I probably know more about than any other. I've crawled through the wings of the things and have climbed up through the tail and stood on top of the thing. I've flown on them a few times and have over 100 simulated takeoffs and landings in the Full Motion Base simulators at Altus AFB. I've even done a few simulated mid air refuelings but one of those turned into a simulated mid air collision:D

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Well dont know if this counts but....

Got a ton of hours in Chinooks, Huey's and Seaknights as a passenger way back in the dark ages when I was in the Corps. :cool:

Only real "Air Time Logged" in military aircraft was jumping into the elephant grass from Huey's. Stupid me, I thought they were supposed to actually land on the ground not on the top of the grass. :O

Did several hops in C-130's, and wow, JATO's are a real rush when your strapped to a jeep on the inside of an airborne vacuum cleaner. :lol

Flew some private aircraft. Had a Private license long ago. Flew Cessna 150's, 172's, Piper Cub and a twin engine Beechcraft.

Later,
