Interesting to see all the rudder deflection during taxi. Do the KC135s lack a steering tiller or how does it work?

That's awesome! My son was really hoping to see this big build actually get taken out in combat as opposed to just failing/crashing as many of the previous ones had done. It did not disappoint!!

Used to sit at the W. end of the e/w runway when Fairchild used to be a SAC base for the B-52's and watch them do touch & go's. What a heart pounder. Was also the when the tanker crashed and seen the B-52 go down when it was practicing for the Open House.

I was a KC-135A/R boom operator from 1979-1986. Back then MITO's were 12 seconds between tankers. Yeah it didn't look too good visually when you had water injection departures using J57 engines.

Only remember more than 5 once. Coming out of Westover with an entire fighter wing coming to Spain in 72.. However launched my B58 in a pack of 20 at sunset at Little Rock. Totally awesome. J79s in afterburner

Minimum Interval Take Offs were changed from 10 seconds to 30 seconds staying 150 feet behind the jet in front of you. It was fun. 10 seconds would be scary. After T/I you fan up wind 💨.

how is the stress when lining up behind a throttled up B52 at T/O and taking off so close? making sure u rotate soon enough ahead of it ? when all airborne what is next, i meet at a point and make a formation ? radar controller busy i assume or o u fly a prebriefed route with not too much radio talk?

@joebagadonuts5573 2 жыл бұрын

MITOs are only used for EWO aircraft. The object is to get the aircraft airborne before the incoming ICBM's hit. 12 second interval due to the SLBM threat. Now for the "reality check". SAC EWO bomber and tanker alert ended in 1992, 30 years ago. No need for MITO takeoffs anymore. The more common formation is cell departures at 1 minute intervals

@robertheinkel6225 Жыл бұрын

You would never mix aircraft types for MITO. After liftoff, each aircraft turns left or right to avoid the turbulence. The aircraft do not form up after takeoff, but each aircraft is assigned to meet up with a bomber out there somewhere.

I wonder how much stress is put on the airframe flying so close together on take off?

@liljohn118th 2 жыл бұрын

It's really not so bad. If you notice around the 2:20 mark in the video we bank off to the left, this is intentional as it moves us out of the wake turbulence of the preceding aircraft. We do hit some wake of the preceding aircraft and while it can be fairly sporty, it's nothing unmanageable. I've hit clear air turbulence more rough.
