- Back at it again this weekend, and we spent most of the day cleaning up the hangar. We also hosted a family to the hangar to visit the F-100 Super Sabre. Retired Lt. Col Dave Barnett and his family stopped by and visited with us over at the Vietnam War Museum hangar where the F-100 is currently at, and then also to the F-4 hangar. Lt. Col. Barnett flew the F-100 during his Air Force career. It was really nice to have them with us today!
Here's a link to an interview that Lt. Col. Barnett did, talking about his career and time flying the F-100 Super Sabre:

I ran a tool room ( CTK) for a while in the Air Force. When i saw the mess of tools, I literally dropped my burrito! We had to inventory and account for every tool used in and around aircraft! Not to be snotty, but please, dont leave anything that dont belong in an aircraft!
I should have made that more clear in hindsight. Pretty much all of those tools were on workbenches around the hangar and not in the aircraft, majority of those were on the bench where we’ve been working on the strut. While the jet has been down for maintenance for some time now, we’re pretty good at not leaving things in the cockpit or inside panels despite things being a little more relaxed outside of the airplane. Totally understand where you are coming from. 🙂
For documenting this kind of activity around the hangar, just setting the camera down and providing subsequent narration is a really good way to share the information with your subscribers.
do it right or do it twice. residue on tools can be flammable, slippery, can contaminate hydraulics, electronics, degrades performance, degrades safety. I wouldn't obsess over documenting for every tool if staff is clockwork-trained: checking each others' work, correcting others' work, all on THAT same team. Thank you for your work and videos. Wish you so much success!
A couple of things: 1) you can eliminate having to go around the hanger picking up tools if when somebody finished he puts the tool he was using away. It doesn't how many times he has to walk back and forth. 2) Congratulations Charlie, good job. 3) You guys don't know heat unless you've been in a revetment in Thailand in July and August. Then you have to get in the back of the revetment with the engines running.
Did you show him that MIG? A lot of USAF Combat vets are curious about the planes that they may have tangled with.
Good video, thanks for sharing.
You guys really need to operate a tool shadow board and tag system!! Lack of tool control has caused many accidents / crashes / damage and loss of life in the past, please learn from those who learned those lessons the hard way.
cleaning your tools??!! say THAT to a car mechanic :) . Lots of youtube shows of "professsionals" working on motors with dirty tools. cars come back destroyed. should'da cleaned your tools, kept your work area clean. i remember being trained that we were TECHNICIANS not "mechanics". HOOAH!
That's quite the collection of coins there ! Great to see the smile on Lt. Col Barnett.
Hope you have your Peltor ear protectors ready, the good type with -30db reduction, as well as conformal ear plugs. Those 2 J-79 are loud, at 142db if I recall.
That coin is awesome. You gotta give us a tour of your collection there some time!
Gotta love the f-4 and the f-100
Awesome sh1t !
does your guys F-4 actually have an A/A kill or is that just a marking?
Just a marking as part of the paint job, this one never saw combat. She's painted to look like the F-4C that Colonel Olds flew in Operation Bolo.
A long, long time ago, when I was working on Skyhawks, tool control was a big priority. Every job ended with an inspection of the tool box for missing items, along with an inspection of the aircraft. The job couldn't be signed off without these inspections. How does Collings ensure that no tools end up hidden in a corner of the aircraft, just waiting to jam something?
Yup. My powerplant tech teacher was retired USAF. He made clear that one nut loose in the wrong place could bring down an entire 747, all passengers, plus folks n property on the groud. I cannot forget his face, planting THAT idea. Big difference between folks who care enough to think about their tools versus folks who are just getting a job done. KUDOS.
Gotta love the f-4 and the f-100
Coming to the hanger and seeing and old plane like they flew back in day , that really means a lot to them old timers . Thanks for doing that.
Gotta love the f-4 and the f-100
Will the F4 Phantom in the back fly again of is currently flying ?
She will fly again, and hopefully soon!
@@DieselThunderAviation Will you pilot the Phantom, do you are an ex Military pilot or have a PPL ?
