Fuel Cost to fly one of those would be around 7-10 thousand dollars per flight depending on weather or not they have on externals or not. They don't hold very much fuel comparatively speaking. Yep Mike, they converted us over to Jet AA about a year or so ago. Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer. My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

You can run everything from diesel trucks and generators to helicopters and jets on it. Basically everything except what needs gasoline. Colt1917

Low level we burned 300 lbs a minute. Afterburner was 3000 lbs a minute! The good news was you got where you were going really fast so you didn't use it very long.

Those 22's making approaches to tyndall were so low, you could see the pilots faces. We could hear them way offshore doing dogfights (maybe?)...and see the contrails while they were out there. The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

The combination of intelligence, physical condition, hand/eye coordination and sheer nerve/swagger that it takes to fly a high performance fighter is a rare commodity. My oldest son is in Air Force UPT now. They have to fill out a "dream sheet" on what they want to fly, my suggestion was F22's. You'll be close to home, lol. I think he is leaning towards the bomber community. B-1's is his top choice right now. Last edited by Simpleman; 05/28/15 11:51 PM.

NORAD was conducting readiness drills/evaluations at several installations last week and this week...could be the cause of the scramble... Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something. Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby... I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.

If you want to see a scramble, should have been down here during 9/11. That was a month straight of scrambles. Hundreds of fighters in the air at once day and night.
