      There's always the option of submitting a request for a checkride. Sometimes the mechanic has to take the car for a test drive. Now all you have to do is, commandeer a two-seater.

    thats true, but you forget the parking brake and external lights and some other switches:P, in Holland the pilots wait about 2 minutes to move the throttle "over the horn" they do that to burn the JFS's exhaust clean. thats why we have a big black puff of smoke coming out the JFS when it shuts down. nice vid BTW

    I am pretty sure your friend is wrong. At least on the F-16.The Battery switch is not a magnetically controlled switch. It actually locks into place. The JFS switch, however is. When the RPM's run up and the engine takes over, the JFS switch magnet(held by 24 volts) will realease and the switch goes back to center postion.

      Ken Price watches that are breakaway (his is) are acceptable

      More so not to have a breakaway watch on in the cockpit. I am a 2W171 Weapons Loader, F-16 and having been crossed trained as a Crew Chief working at a Alert Detachment. You never wear jewelry or watches inside the cockpit. Not blasting you but not a good idea....remember FOD, FOD.....

      Once you're Run qualified, you'll understand. LOTS of times you have to keep track of(especially with a dual engine acft), and the clock in the cockpit isn't enough

      out of curiosity, why is it bad to wear watches in the cockpit? i work at an airport, though not military, and they don't give a shit about watches. and as other dude said, pretty much all pilots wear watches.

      38 years old as of 2014. First flight was 1976. 38 years before 1976 it was 1938 hottest thing then was the FW-109 and Spitfire or P-39 Aerocobra. We've made an amazing amount of non progress and we pay an amazing price for that lack of progress.

    Ok i have some guesses about fuc**** secret jammer panel.
    S = standby or selected, A = active, F = fail, T = threat or tracking.
    1,2,3,4,5 are probably frequencies or reather frequency ranges. SPL = SinglePuLse = pulse jamming? FRM = frequency memory = fake radar signals with changed doppler and delay (range) send back to radar???
    EDIT: Looks like its all software definied, all buttons and indicators.

    Falcon BMS manual says it shouldn't go above 750 or else it's a hotstart and you should unidle to 200C yet here it went way above that and he just carried on as if it's ok to do.

      The crew chief has to pump up the accumulators manually. A pain in the a$$ because the pump is located in the nose gear wheel well so the cc is hunkered down furiously pumping away while I, the pilot, relax in my seat all strapped in. I always hated bad starts. Felt bad for the crew chief.
