http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1862463632825084299&q=c-130 I can't find the one of the Loadmaster out front starting engines getting his groove on.
nobody can say there aren't gays in the military (of course gay guys probably dance better than that...)
FOUND IT! Here's the Loadmaster. He's on headset in front of the Herk as it starts engines. His job is to monitor the start in case the engine doesn't start to turn or torches or leaks fuel... stuff like that. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4764039428650136159&q=c-130
LOL I was thinking the same thing - these guys dance too poorly to be gay They do have the heterosexual white boy shuffle down cold though....
I always wondered why they do that. When I flew out of SDF there were a bunch of NG C-130s there and I always saw some poor dude standing out in front while they started up. I've got to wonder what help they could possibly be. STEVE
When that guy starts to run like hell, the pilot immediately knows something is up. As advanced warning systems go, it seems fool proof to me.
two ways to go.......serious or funny.......what to do??? shouldn't they have another guy out there around 20 yards away with a fire hose full of jello or cream corn to quench the jet fuel fire??? or do they?
That's funny. Actually in the event of a fire, because the aircrew cannot observe the engines directly, the ground crew person is there, monitoring the engine start-up. He/she tells the pilot via the headset that a fire has started. The pilot will immediately kill the engine and trigger the fire suppression system on that engine. The pilot will declare an emergency egress over the intercom and ground freq and he and the co will kill all engines and power instantly and evaculate the A/C along with everyone else who should be outside and well away from the A/C by the time the pilot/co-pilot get to them.
Military people are crazy. The shit that goes on with submarines is pretty funny too but not often they let pics or videos get out. aahummm it's because of the secrecy is all. :wow:
In my best Cartman voice, "LOL, Air Force fags!" Now, before I get flamed. I can say that because I'm Navy. See what happens when all you do if fly cargo around. It's like flying for the airlines without stews. 3 more years and I can say I never had to fly a cargo plane.
