Hey, it's time for lunch at the Snarf & Barf!

A simple one to end the work week.

Back in the late '70's, a C-5a was used to ship a VERY big magnet to the USSR, for (I believe) fusion research. That was before the super-big Mrya, I believe, was built.

Is that what it really looks like from up there?

Great stuff mate! Is that FARA above the pilot meant to be Swedish? ('Fara' means 'danger')

Captain Dunsel · 06-11-2008, 10:52 AM

A4K, you must be a youngster.

There's some plumbing and a faucet there, so it's a fara faucet...i.e., Farah Fawcett, the busty, toothy blonde with big hair from the 70's-80's.

Okay, a simple one for today, mostly making some fun of aircrew (which is plural for "Air Crude" as a female forecasting friend of mine used to say!).

*LOL* "The Gulls of Guam". That's a good one!

A4K · 06-12-2008, 06:37 AM

Ah, the problems of international interpretation..! I know of Farah Fawcett (I was a 70's kid), but a faucet to us is a 'tap' !

Captain Dunsel · 06-12-2008, 10:19 AM

I won't make any comments about tapping Farah!

I know this drawing isn't timely, being that Christmas is months away, but I'm running it anyway (only 5 more to go, anyway).

Hard to believe the C-141's are all gone. I had some fun flights on Starlizards

CD

RabidAlien · 06-13-2008, 12:54 PM

C141's were phased out? I've taken a Mac flight or two on those guys.

Captain Dunsel · 06-13-2008, 07:32 PM

Yeah, RabidAlien, it's been a couple of years since the last one left McGuire AFB. In my post-retirement job, I work with a teacher who is a loadmaster on a C-17 at McGuire. He flew one of the last 141 missions from McGuire.

The C-17 is a very capable bird, but it doesn't have the gracefulness of the 141. Still, anything that keeps McGuire open is good for us.

I have a friend who holds the record for most flight hours in a C-130. If he had a computer I would have him look at this, he'd get a kick out of these.
