First thing I did after having the useless conversation with the south of the border women I tapped in Houston last year?

Well after mouthing “wat the ####” probably twenty times at the Mexican Mafia standing around me?

Pictures. Lots of them. My truck. Her car. The corner. The turn in general. The damage (to which I rubbed off after the fact, yes no lie).

I took the blame for the accident. It was my fault after all. But her insurance company denied coverage for her (she had no drivers license). I told the husband to put his money where his mouth is a buy a dash of paint from the local auto store... or Walmart.

I was given a ticket for “Failure to Maintain Single Lane” by two of Houston’s finest and off I went.

On the flip side of this... the dashcam that Melton had back then didn’t capture a single thing. It didn’t “activate” during the crash nor did I hit the button for it to record anything.

“Why didn’t you slap our camera?!?! It would’ve had footage from the previous minute?!??”

Sorry. Was too busy with the Mexican Mafia surrounding my truck on a corner in Houston to worry about the insurance procedure.

I would have fought that one! No license She shouldn’t have been there!

Here ya go Shooter. We just finished this one up this morning. Just waiting for the movers to take it to the wash hangar to get the paint stripped off of it and washed and then it starts it's inspection, fix, put it back together, get it ready for it's check flight phase.

From the time we get a jet till we have it stripped is 2-3 days, 12 guys on dayshift and 8 on swings. It gets here on dayshift then we run engines on it and do some checks, then we defuel it taking all the fuel off, we prep and drop 4 engines, ailerons, flaps, spoilers, wing ducting, panels, tail, landing gear doors, the whole interior, and some other small stuff. It's a s s holes and elbows for a couple of days.

Next Airshow you see advertised at Mountain Home, you oughtta go. Not always, but usually they let you go up in the planes and check em out but it depends on what aircraft too. Some of them you can just walk around the outside. The 52's are pretty cramped up in the ####pit, not much room for more than 2 or 3 people. There's usually a pretty good line but it's worth it. Here's the ####pit on a B-52, Googled it. If your curious about this stuff Google is your friend, you can look at just about anything and even watch video's of take offs and landings from the ####pit of just about any airplane, military or civilian, it's pretty cool.

Turn on your volume:

The beginning of this video is from the ####pit of a KC-135 and then the boom operators perspective. This is one of the planes I flew on and was a mechanic on. Watched a bunch of aireal refuels with a bunch of different type aircraft from back there.

Here's a C-5 going up to a KC-135. I've been on a C-5 and seen it from this perspective too.

When I flew on C-5's and 135's I went to a few airshows and we were one of the static displays. I really enjoyed showing folks and explaining all about the aircraft. You ever get a chance to talk to an aircrew member ask questions, they enjoy it and that's what they're there for, after all, your paying for it and them

That's really cool, @Bear135. Thank You for sharing that!!

Hahahahaha!
I’m glad it’s sunday- I had my balls busted pretty good last week on several fronts, and I needed this weekend worth of peace to get straightened out.

For those of you that were familiar with the Martin Tower ( former HQ of Bethlehem Steel ) along Rt 378 in Bethlehem, Pa, it is no more
