Chigger Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Nice--an AWACS thread! Cool pics, Kevan--thanks for starting it off! Here's some from the Tinker AFB airshow in July 2007 (scanned from 35mm prints)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Very nice pics Chigger! Last weekend, in Ostrava, I took a walk through an E-3 for the first time and was absolutely stunned by how much is actually in one of those things in the way of both equipment and crew complement! It was like a big mainframe computer with wings, I couldn't imagine how they got it off the ground. While talking with a KC-135 crew, parked right next to the E-3, I was told that it was standard practice for the E-3 too take off with minimum fuel and connect with a tanker ASAP after getting off the ground. The KC-135 crew also told me that the E-3 has rather longer wings which help a bit in getting all that weight unstuck from the runway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spongebob Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 So bad it's actually funny. I can verify that the chicks are actual AWACs girls. Sponge Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spongebob Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 BTW, that is the correct usage of the epithet "MotherTinker"... So I'm told...I've got AWACS guys on both sides of my cube at work. I broke down there for a couple days back in 2002 (come to find out, the fitting to attach a hydraulic servicing unit to a Hawkeye is specific to an E-2. Yeah! Grumman!!) and didn't think the town was bad. My partners in crime pointed out that it isn't when you know you're leaving... Spongebob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) So bad Bad is definitely one word for it. So much so, I couldn't watch the whole thing. Edited November 24, 2009 by Aggressor Supporter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
