On March 23, 1966, during what is now referred to as the Palomares incident, a B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs collided with a refueling tanker in Spain, resulting in one of its nuclear weapons plunging into the sea.During the U.S. Navy salvage team's efforts to retrieve the bomb, the towing line snapped, propelling a heavy steel pipe towards the team. In a remarkable display of heroism, diver Carl Brashear shielded his fellow team members by deliberately placing himself in the path of the pipe, sustaining an injury to his leg.Despite the harrowing ordeal, Brashear not only survived but also achieved recertification as a master diver, despite having his leg amputated. This remarkable feat made him the first amputee diver in Navy history.Brashear was motivated by his beliefs, saying "It's not a sin to get knocked down; it's a sin to stay down" and "I ain't going to let nobody steal my dream."In recognition of his role in recovering the bomb, Brashear was subsequently honored with the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, the highest navy award for non-combat heroism.

My brother was tasked to by one of the aggressors for the AF F-15 Fighter Weapons School graduation exercise. They were flying T-38s; no radar, just GCI calls. They killed all the F-15s because of the tactics they were using.

If you know what an aircraft is capable of and how it’s employed you can generate a senario that you opponents will fall into.

100% true but we know the idea of aggressors is to put the “friendly” at a disadvantage so we learn.

A little known and less cared about fact, the F-4 was the only aircraft that set the time to climb record carrying a load of 4 air-to-air missiles (Aim-7).

They actually reduced the drag.

True enough. But after they had killed numerous Eagles they were called into the squadron commanders office to explain how they were doing it.

He then ordered them to fly straight and level, no maneuvering of any kind, so that they could win.

There was no learning at all. So much for these fighter weapons school grads being the best brighter pilots like they used to tell everyone.

Can you airplane guys post some airplanes with nekked womens pilots with them aeroplanes? I bet that Alaskan politician's fighter pilot's flight suit had soaking wet areas, ya know, after doing some vertical stuff. Nothing personal, my flight suit prolly would have been a bit sticky from time to time. smiley face!
