What you Lamps guys can't fly with the doors off? What about Sierras?

Skidz Rule!

Its too bad you guys arent In the Marine Corps, Us Huey guys always leave the doors in the hanger! Its like driving a jeep. Except of course on my Avatar?

As my old skipper liked to rub in to us (he was a H-2 guy), the cool days of no/open door flying went away with the REAL HSL, (his terms)

Nope. All the avionics need ECS to keep em running happy. And if some cold air happens to leak on the crew, well, that's just bonus. Doors off would have been nice today with the OAT reading 38.

Come on, climb to cope.... Isn't that what they taught us in flight school?

We didn't climb to an altitude, we climbed to an OAT. HAC on my first deployment: "We're gonna make it to 25 degrees or 10,000 feet, whichever comes first..."

10K has been my enroute altitude all week.

i think your avatar shows what happens when you leave the doors in the hanger. poor guys probably weren't even strapped in...

That's nothing...just wait till the OAT is pegged..."Uh, according to NATOPS, we can't start the thing above 51 deg. C." (Bahrain, 3SEP05)

You better not start a 60 above that temp. Bad things will happen, trust me.

Maybe start them at night at that temp since solar loads add quite a bit.

Uhhh ok, thanks.

 

[skidz]

hmm, Navy -60 pilot and a just graduated college grad trying to figure out if he wants to be in the Navy yet talking about a -60.

I'll take HH's word on this one.

 

[FMRAM]

Is that armor plating next to the pilot?
