Keep the updates coming.
Yep, an APU. I posted that picture the other day on the other topic on the SU-34
The CFM56-5C2 is also another engine the AirForce is looking at. I think there was 3 different engines they were looking at. CFM56-5C2 would have 31,200lbs of thrust were as the CFM56-3B-1 on the KC-135 (F108) only 22,000lbs. Out of all the 3 engine named. The CFM56-5C2 would be the most fuel efficient upgrade.
Time to go play some GTA5. LOL
APU
Acually 4 planes, two F-35’s and two F-18’s
What?! The F-22 is totally different plane than the F-35.
Clinton admitted he passed on trying to kill OBL.
When is the USS Ford going to start making it’s sea trials?
Just like the money they waste on rehab on worn out KC-135’s which are as old as the B-52’s. The 135’s need to be replaced. Can’t wait for the KC-46.
I used to work on C-5’s at Kelly before it closed.
You should listen to these up close on a take off roll. I see these at Tinker AFB all the time on test flights. Louder then anything I have heard, even a C-5 with TF39’s.
You make it sound as if all low bypass engines blow out lots of black smoke but not true. All modern day jet fighters run afterburning low bypass engines. F100 is the most common in the US military which is found in the F-15 and F-16 with later model F-16’s with the F110. They burn fairly smoke free. F118 which is in…
The KC-135 needs to be replaced. They were built from 1956-1963 and they are showing their age. I work on them for a living at Tinker AFB.
Also to note. The depot maintenance will be done at Tinker AFB at the Oklahoma City ALC. They are going to build new hangers on the north side of the old GM plant on the south side of the base which Tinker AFB has taken over and is now Bldg 9001 which is also be the site of the P&W F135 engine depot maintenance…
