I am having flashbacks now...LOL Rob, I have 2000 Hours flying on those Pigs and the scariest mission ever was Aerial Refueling at night while wearing NVG's. And for the record Rob, the dialogue was as follows: "Got Visual.Probe Extended.Foreplay.Penetration.cigarette"   Rans (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 360 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 01:02 pm:    Greg, gonna help you tie this thread to Land Rovers so you are not just clogging things up...

After all, you're talking about "Super Stallions", right? Karen ;)   Paul D.

We had other names that will get my IP blocked.   EricV (Bender2033) Member Username: Bender2033 Post Number: 146 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 10:33 pm:    Wish I could get refuelling trucks to drop a nipple to my disco on long road trips. Talk about extended range.   Greg (Gparrish) Senior Member Username: Gparrish Post Number: 1086 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 09:09 am:    I made the overhead shot of the two helicopters refuling my background screen. Really cool to see when I log in. Even if they are hummers. gp   KJ (Karen) Senior Member Username: Karen Post Number: 90 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:32 am:    Ah, do I hear a cry for the resident Photoshoppers to make a little mod to that picture????? Karen   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Senior Member Username: V22guy Post Number: 1246 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 11:14 am:    Greg, See how those Hummer windows are taped up? Well under a H-53 that works pretty good. But under my pig, the tape doesn't work so well. I think it has to do something with flying over 200 knots. I can't remember the exact speed of critical stress, but I can tell you that Hummer parts start seperating very quickly. I'll see if I can dig something up.....   Greg (Gparrish) Senior Member Username: Gparrish Post Number: 1088 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 12:05 pm:    Cool. I thought they were just neat pictures. There are tons of cool military pics on the page those are on. Apparently they are submitted by service men/women to be posted in the photo gallery.
