September 3, 2011 9:19 pmMy 1980 Single Engine B-17 Landing
April 6, 2011 3:44 pmA true story by Larry Kraus.
Okay, I ran out of usable fuel and to this day can’t explain why I didn’t have at least 40 minutes fuel left in the mains, but I did learn several lessons. For instance,just because the systems on one B-17 work in a particular way, don’t count on the all working that way. Also,there are important bits of information in maintenance manuals that aren’t in the flight manuals. I already knew not to put much faith in fuel gauges, but I thought that at least one of them might be remotely accurate.

At the end of 2009, the U.S. Navy transferred its last UH-3H Sea King to the U.S. Marine Corps, thus ending it’s service of a little more than 50 years. The Marines will use the aircraft for training purposes.

Altus AFB gets a KC-135 for display
December 13, 2009 3:36 pm
Brad over on the WIX forum reports that Altus AFB, OK has received a KC-135 for display.
It took a few weeks to get her together but there is now a KC-135A on display at Altus AFB. She is 58-0070 and just needs a paint job to be finished. The wings were hacked off for transport and scabbed back on with various patches, plates, angle iron and screws. Once it’s under paint you won’t be able to tell except for the steel plates on top and bottom of the wings that hold the spar together!
