    Dood, cereal? We're discussing mass civilian aviation assault of Area 51...you're bringing up this deflection?

    Carry on good sir!

    I’ll head down, I want to get an air to air kill with flechette rockets.

    Edit: CONUS kill, plus air to air, plus flechettes = serious bonus points.

    My old man was an in-flight AMT on EC-47s out of Tan Son Nhut in ‘71-‘72 and then RC-135s out of Offutt from ‘77-‘81, then flight line AMT Super.

    Any chance y’all worked the same birds at the same time?

    Never forget that the first aerial kill in Oct 1914 was between 2 light observation aircraft shooting at each other with revolvers. Now I'm not sure brandishing a wheel gun at an Apache would be the brightest move, but you could get lucky.

    My dad was an avionics maintenance tech on EC-47s in Vietnam, and joked that he was often their "defensive weapons platform" when he leaned out the open cargo door and returned fire with his .38 Special.

    "Upon recent reflection, I'm certain I didn't hit a Goddamn thing."

    Friend of mine was on an anti-piracy mission in the Gulf of Aden and a skinny decided to fire his old .303 enfield AT A DESTROYER. Not sure what he thought was gonna happen, but it ended up being a bad day for him.

    Was a bit confused at first as the glare looks like air speed to be 70, but no throttle and full lean.
    Looks cozy. I've not flown a 150, but I do enjoy a 152 solo. 2 people and they start to struggle a bit, especially in the summer.

    Probably a little over 5000hrs on the frame, so you get the right amount of looseness and maybe 1200 since MOH and a beat up prop, so you got about 85HP to work with, plus a summertime altitude density of 3000+ makes for a few seconds of are we going up or down?
