onetrack Posted October 28 Posted October 28 It's just a new and improved maintenance technique for working on brakes, and changing tyres and wheels.

Nev Once upon time I flew (as passenger, Olympic Airways) from Athens to Crete and back monthly to service some gear there. Sometimes they took forever doing their mag checks and warming up before taking to the skies. And shortly after takeoff the hostess would run from the back to the cockpit with 2 little paper cups: rumour had it this was ouzo. The USAF also used them at that time for airevac and routine hospital runs, as different hospitals specialised. So, for instance, maternity was in Frankfurt, and expectant military wives were all gathered up and shipped to Frankfurt when the time came. Sometimes it was possible to get on those runs, space available, but you could also get bumped and end up somewhere other than you thought you were going. On one such from Turkey, we got diverted to Tripoli to pick up an injured sailor. He had been hit by a broken cable, had brain damage and was strapped to his stretcher from where he screamed obscenities and called for his mother all the way to Athens. I was very glad to get off and felt sorry for all the mums-to-be sharing that flight......... 1 2
facthunter Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Engine run up and all checks could take 15 minutes. They had a flight engineer and he could get under a hood and check the entire Ignition system of each engine at any time. The firebomber maybe only had one pilot and a lot of stuff removed. Nev 1
