Here's a video made by VP-4 that shows a little slice of deployment. It's posted on their homepage, but here's a direct link:

Still get the heebeejeebees thinking about intentionally shutting down motors for long durations inflight to save fuel....

Cool video. I thought cruise videos were supposed to be of all the antics that the JOs perpetrated upon the O-4s, yes? Anyone know what editing software they used to put that together? I've used a combination of Vegas and MS Movie Maker for stuff liek that, but it always ends up taking way too long. What are other people using?

I've seen some work done with Pinnacle Studio...

And yes, It isn't a cruise video unless the JOs are screwing around....

Beau, you have no idea. 11 personalities...if you can make it through a tour you should get a degree in psychology. The psychotic Flight Engineer, the pessimistic 2P. the idiot-savant navigator...the narcissist Plane Commander constantly flexing and combing his hair...ahem...it's f-ing drama non-stop. Most of our qualification boards have a "personality" or "individual behavior" scenario...price you pay for fun'n'games in the Warpig...

and maybe it's the 4 scotch and sodas I've had (Sharper Image Breathalyzer is clocking me at 0.10 and it's 20:05 Friday night, look out 'large ladies')...but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Proof that you will have a loyalty to whatever you fly and the folks brave enough to trust your hands. All you people out there worried about what you will end up flying, it's what you make it.

...sniffle...what a f@g...

YOU Cracked me up, Zab .... you are hereby qualified in the 747 for TransPacs ... your psyco-personality cross-section of the crew is almost a mirror image of a B747 cockpit, except for the altitude, mach #, and paycheck ... ahem ... ahem ...

since when do we use the fuel and ignition switch to shut down engines for loiter? is that how it used to be done? Seems if you fuel chopped it you'd decouple.... we use the E handle now. If you've got a special FE in the seat EVERYBODY checks him on the E handle.

not trying to bust your balls, just curious if you'd seen things done differently than me - i've only been in the community for about 1.25 years.
