Anyone ever see the planes with the red stripes that fly in and out of Vegas daily with no markings that take workers to area 51?

vulturesrow posted:Been on SA for a while and figured I should check out the aviation thread since its what I do for a living. I'm a Naval Flight Officer currently doing the instuctor thing with the kids in the advanced NFO stage of training. Probably going to look at my private license for the heck of it now that I actually have the time and money to do it. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have about the current state of Naval Aviation, flight training for NFOs or whatever. I'll get the first question out of the way. What are you flying, and what have you flown?

I hadn't seen anything on this so I figured I'd let you guys know. So Paramount has decided to release Top Gun back into Imax theaters in 3D for 6 days only starting on Feb 8th. Growing up in the 80's I've seen this movie literally a hundred times but never in the theaters, now I got my chance. I've already got several friends going with me first thing Saturday morning and a couple of them have never seen Top Gun. Anyone else going to see this besides me?

ChickenOfTomorrow posted:Stupid Airbus question: During taxi in an A320, I heard 4 or 5 "bark"-like squeals from the undercarriage. Upon reaching the gate, I heard something similar. Since the barks seemed to coincide with engine spool-up/down, I suspect the PTU. It sounded like it was right under my feet, and freaked the heck out of a bunch of people around me. I flew the other day on an A319, my first time on an Airbus after flying dozens of times on Boeing planes. And I've heard the noises I think you're talking about. There we're some loud bangs every time they applied the brakes. Freaks me out but then I read about the A319 and its never had a fatal accident which makes me feel much better for my flight tomorrow on one.

drat the GE-90 Engine is sexy as hell. I can't believe how much water it can injest in that video toward the bottom and still maintain thrust. I flew on a 777 when they first came out. What an awesome airplane. http://gizmodo.com/5991212/the-worlds-biggest-jet-engine-is-brawnier-than-alan-shepards-orbital-rocket

Fucknag posted:They are, relatively. It's called the TF-39, they produce less than half the thrust of a GE90, and have a lower bypass ratio (8:1 vs 10:1 for the GE90) so the fan is smaller relative to the core. 747s use the similar CF-6, look at the GE90 test 747 to see the size difference: So why doesn't Boeing outfit two of those on the 747 and call it a day? Aren't they more efficient than its current engines?

Saw that United is getting a new Scimitar split winglet on all their 737-800's. Pretty bad rear end looking and gives 2% increase in fuel economy as well. They're installing them on all their 737, 757, and 767's and will save them 200 million a year on jet fuel. http://www.asdnews.com/news-50249/United_Airlines_is_First_to_Install_Split_Scimitar_Winglets.htm

Speaking of F-15s. I live a mile north of Luke air force base. And I guess there's a bunch of Singapore pilots training in their F-15s out there. Such a drat treat seeing how Luke is the largest F-16 training base in the US. Good God those F-15s sound so loving glorious at full afterburner. Looks even cooler driving right under them while they're full throttle on the road at night right next to the base. They had a F-35 out there a couple of weeks ago and that was pretty awesome to. I'm excited Luke got the privilege of being the new training base.

Have a drone survival guide. Pretty simple but pretty neat. I had no idea how many types of drones we have in service. You can pay for it on aluminum or you can download the pdf for free and print it out yourself. http://dronesurvivalguide.org/
