Hard to believe these older jets are gonna watch all of the KC-10s fly off to the boneyard.
Lots of improvements . Quieter. I am antique 305 ARW 1970s Vietnam Era vet Boom operator
A lot has changed since my last flight in a KC-135-A (1980) and some stayed the same. Thanks for sharing. This old crew chief enjoyed it.
Thank you for your service. Stay strong
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown =)
@Turner Brentley Definitely, have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
Dash looks a lot different from my days as an Instrument Tech back in the 70’s! Use to work on the J-57 water injection engines on 135A models! I would love to get a ride on one of these newer birds to see all the improvements. Still miss my days of flying for inflight maintenance and TDY’s around the world. The 135’s are a workhorse that is hard to beat. ❤
This old A & Q model crew chief still loves to see the 135 videos. Was around 135's from 1962 - '84
Thanks for the video. Worked on those over 30 years ago. 0293 was the first one with the CFM56.
I currently work on 0293. Great jet, I’ll take care of her for you sir!
Oh man those CFM56s sound sooo good

I love these old birds
7:03 looks like they were in a drive through
Awesome 👍
Amazing👏
Crown Royal chin rest, I love it!
Awesome video!
I wonder if it is missed on these guys that they are flying a literal antique? That plane is probably twice as old as them!
What is the tail number of this KC-135?
Good to know the USAF has great taste in aircraft😄
This aircraft is not a full service gas station. In my day when we pulled in for gas, one person gassed us up, another checked the air pressure on all four tires, another raised the hood and checked the water in the radiator, and another cleaned the windshield. I don't see anyone doing that during refueling, and yes, I'm being facetious.
Glass cockpit?
An oldee but a goodee!!
Checklist on the glareshield? And an 0-4?!
This looks a lot like KLSV. Nellis AFB. got to shoot a lot out there.
It is, that’s where red flag takes place at.
The last B-52 will be refuelled by the last KC-135.
Sound engines A340-200 buzzsaw
Is this the b17 bomber? Looks old
Refueling Unit?
4:36 pretty nice dice pouch...
Which air base?
1:50 the landing gear lever lights up
“Did you ask ground if they have the other half of the nose gear?” 😳
And I thought the 737 cockpit was noisy.
1:21 looks like an enchant typewriter.
How many people are typically on a KC-135?
Two pilots and a boom typically, certain times with a navigator also.
@@geoffrichardson325 no engineer?
The has never been a flight engineer on the KC-135s.
@@mcahill135 Did the Aurora ever exist?
On the A model,4. Pilot ,Co-Pilot,Nav, Boom. and something the flying CC. Flying CC always on TDY.
Wow. There were no "V1", "Rotate", or "V2" calls during takeoff, strange. And I thought the Air Force pilots went by the book.

I was actually wondering about this. I was watching a video earlier with the 135, I believe it was also at a redflag event, and when they were taxiing they called out what the V-Speeds are. I don't think that video had them taking off so I wouldn't know if they called it or not.
We make a 90 knot call, S1 and rotate. How the tankers roll
@@shauntrailskinner9645 Go/No-go speed, once that is called we are committed to takeoff
@@erad5 in the navy we called it refusal
Sure do miss my eyebrow windows!
Nellis air force base, Las Vegas, Nevada,....home of the Thunderbirds.
No shit Sherlock....
4 years in B-52’s. You have NOMEX gloves for a good reason during takeoff. Wear your gloves, .
So quiet...I was an A model crew chief in the 1970s...big difference
his #2 eng has ZERO oil px at 6.53
That is because it is off, they were starting up engine 1 at the moment.
No body on the trust levers for landing......way to go 🙈
But the yokes, for that matter, sure are covered!
They know what they're doing.
135 boom here. Once our pilots set the power, they practically dont ever have to worry about it. They only occasionally make power changes if they're too fast or too slow. Controlling the aircraft is the priority. After the power pull there is 0 need to mess with those throttles except in the case of a go around or TnG.
I flew as an F/E on C-130E/H/DC, C-141A/B, & KC-10's in my 30yrs in the Air Force. Pilots always had a hand on the throttles for both T/O & landings. Weird!! Excellent video, though. Brings back memories, especially flying exercises like Red Flag, Brim Frost, Green Flag, etc.
What they are reading?
Check lists.
Checklists !! The Air Force Bible.
You do this, this way, not that way...or else.
