[lonelywolf1966]

reminds of a friend who was a pilot..... he said that in air refuelling was "like taking a flying f%£k at a dohnut"

[Lookingforfourfor]

whats training like to be a boom operator?" is there a lot of math?

thanks!

[rikku478]

@Lookingforfourfor, there's not a lot of math but as long as you have basic algebra and physics, you're good to go. training can be demanding in that there's a lot of book knowledge involved. and since you're flying with a receiver only 20 feet behind you, there's no room for error.

@rikku478 Lies!! Boom's fuck shit up all the time, Then I have to fix it.

[dereklsept]

@denison336 thats called getting the job where you fix a 50 year old aircraft...if you could stop the damn hydro leaks on the sighting window maybe we could see what the hell we're doing
