I've flown for nearly 2.5 hours on a 3-engine jet. It's no big deal. Now on two engines? Yea I'm gonna be spooked a bit. There's this famous mishap where a passenger 747 flew through volcanic ash. All four engines seized up. Somehow the crew managed to restart a few of them to not, you know, die.

During a sim session a particularly cruel L-3 instructor gave us the syllabus for the session with an added unknown bonus of contaminated fuel. That inevitable takeoff and scramble to crash land was real fun.

If you've voluntarily turned off an engine or two in flight, you probably had a pretty compelling reason to do so, and you're going to need an equally compelling reason to turn in back on.holocaust bloopers posted:At that point the book goes out the window. The tightest my rear end in a top hat has ever puckered was the time we couldn't locate where the smell of burning electronics in the cockpit was coming from.

What was the -135's equipment cooling like? On the AWACS, identifying burning gear or sources of fire was near impossible without visibly seeing the object smolder or smoke. The forced air cooling systems manifold was so utterly complicated and unruly that smells traveled in unpredictable paths.

The forced air cooling systems manifold was so utterly complicated and unruly that smells traveled in unpredictable paths. We had a lot less equipment than you guys, so it was pretty basic. We had most of the electronics in a cabinet attached to the starboard side of the cockpit bulkhead, cooled by a fan. Some of the radios & whatnot had their boxes in the lower nose gear compartment. I think the displays and processors had smaller fans or heat sinks integrated into the LRUs. Heat soaking could be an issue on the ground at high temps, but was rarely a show-stopper. During that emergency, we knew it was coming from inside the cockpit, because it got stronger near the roof, but it definitely wasn't coming from the air mixer return vent in the ceiling over the cockpit door. That occasionally would generate a burning smell due to parts of the air mixer rubbing together, but this had the particular tang of electrical equipment burning itself up. In the end, I was able to locate the source by feeling for hot spots, and we got it isolated and the breaker pulled right before the pilot was going to request an emergency landing at KAF. It was the motor on the Navigator's fan.

LOL I had an in-flight emergency right after takeoff. We were making our climb over Goose Bay near Elmendorf in very heavy cloud cover. That particular day was a rainy, freezing mess and here we are with an IFE on our hands and in IFR conditions to boot. Perfect time for me to notice and call out the cabin wasn't pressurizing. Pilot gets on the radios, makes the appropriate calls for ATC to direct us to a holding pattern away from traffic. I'm scanning the panel for any other indications. I mean I'm not seeing poo poo. It's a goddamn mystery to me. About 20 seconds later, the problem was resolved. Some loving idiot forgot to engage the primary flow control valve prior to wheels up. that idiot was me

I made the mistake a few weeks ago to accept the EA that I work with sometimes on my linkedin. He's a cool enough dude, was mil for like 24 years or something but was really just a chill guy and a pretty good EA. I figured why not. Dude has non-loving-stop pictures with bible verses w/ patriotic overlays and poo poo posted to his network. God loving damnit.

Then they try to do some math. "Well see there's 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week and gasp we only end up making $1.50 an hour!"

Three of my last 5 E-3 flights ended with only three engines. The other two had landing gear problems. Yep, rounded out my career with 5 consecutive IFEs.  :tinker:Edit: holocaust bloopers posted:What was the -135's equipment cooling like? On the AWACS, identifying burning gear or sources of fire was near impossible without visibly seeing the object smolder or smoke. The forced air cooling systems manifold was so utterly complicated and unruly that smells traveled in unpredictable paths. I'll never forget my only time being runner. We circled at the loving midpoint between Peru and Oklahoma, which is over the Pacific, for almost an hour while techs scoured the aft lower lobe searching for a trace of the smoke and fumes that we all noticed but disappeared. I had my flight suit halfway open and in all the bottle-refilling shenanigans the zipper inched its way down and I'm pretty sure a SrA got a look at my junk. They never found the source, so we dead-headed home. VVV I had a pretty good record up until that point. That was the same timeframe as the landing gear collapse at Tinker (the one with no fire, thanks to rain), so I was kind of concerned with the landing gear IFEs.

I was honestly pretty sure we were going to die until I figured out it was the fan burning itself up. If it had been inside one of the ducts or consoles, it would have been a race to see if we could find it and extinguish it before it got out of control, or get on the ground fast enough. Fire in the cockpit or the fuselage were the things that I lost sleep over.

The Rivet Joint fire last year is one of the more terrifying incidents I've read about. A fire inside the fuselage that's being fed by a loving broken O2 line.

Historically, an aircrew has 15 minutes to detect, find, and extinguish a fire before the odds of survival are astronomic. Yea, a fire in-flight is no loving joke. I'd rather lose an engine, belly up land, and lose all electrical before a fire.

He's definitely having fun with it. Every time he portrays Shapiro as being indignant over losing control over "his" team it's hilarious. Also the one scene with Lane and Travolta sitting side by side in leather chairs by the fire was hilarious for the implications. John "I'm not gay but I'm totally gay" Travolta alone and side by side with one of the gayest actors out there having a friendly exchange.
