I spent 14 years in KC135s 1967-1981 with five of them as an IP in the CCTS at Castle 1973-1978. As for the water injection, never lost water on a engine during the entire time I flew them. There may have been a few when it didn't "kick in" but a quick back below cutout then back up on the throttle took care of that. I got out of never got to fly the R model, but did put in 14 years in the KC10, so I guess that made up for it! Remember the "Thule Fog" quite well...15 knots of wind and FOG!

I'm Ssgt Frank (Skip) Johnson I was stationed twice at fog patch, from 1977 to 1981 with the 93 FMS, CSD / APU Shop Flight line truck FM 9, served under shop chief Tsgt Ted Krammer, and then from 1988 to 1992 with the 693 OMS flight line Jet engine specialist truck. serving under Msgt Joseph Berrian. One of the best times in my Air Force career which I think about alot. I hope everyone I knew during my two tours there are all well and enjoying retirement !!!!

I sure miss Plattsburgh AFB. I remember the A models shaking my window frames as they took off. As a kid I loved it! I still do...

Looks like they were busy back in the day. The J57s are way louder than the CFM56s.

cool vids of some old engines! It still cracks me up to hear the Flight Safety guys at Altus talk about losing water and A-model engines! Those guys were brave souls to push it up with such little thrust compared to the R-models.

Wow.. Yeah no.. Not gentle.. You had two S1 speeds and you always had to replan ppc for slight weight amounts. Plus you were 50/50 on losing water getting into assemetrical tthrust and crashing..

I have an infatuation with jet engines. There is something about a straight turbojet that really turns me on. I think it would be a thrill to ride a -135 down the runway at max weight slowly picking up speed as the power of four J57s push you gently into your seat. Just pray that there isn't a flock of birds at the end of the runway.
