    That must've been a strong storm to produce those kinds of effects without actually going through it. What is this? A KC-135? I guess it's gotta be a 135 because he said "boom" and there aren't any glass cockpit KC-10s that I'm aware of.

    HOLY CRAP! I would have needed several pairs of new underwear after that flight.

    Yep... KC-135 is my guess too...4 engines


    A massive fuel filled tube being bombarded by electrical strikes....not scary in the least!! :isadizzy:

    The only time I thought I was going to blow junks while flying was on a 135 flying into Andrews AFB. The turbulence was crazy. The smoothest landing was also on my last KC-135 ride. The base commander was piloting and set it down so soft at O'Hare that I didn't realize we had touched down.

    It is indeed a KC 135.

    The worst ride I ever had was on a C-5. the crew was doing inflight refueling drills with a KC-10. The #2 engine on the 10 was blowing right on the tail of the C-5, even the loadmasters were getting green.

    I think they would've had to, shall we say, replace my seat cushion after that flight. Ditto on MC's underwear comment. :d
