Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon

The B1 picture is from Ellsworth, acft 94, "Night Hawk". I think I was still active when that happened. The fuel migrated by itself, fwd to rear, and sat it on its ass. The flightline has security cameras monitered by the MAC, and it was recorded. Luckily it happened on a Sunday, and no-one was near the jet at the time. My flight chief was on "weekend duty" at the time, and simply transfered the fuel forward and sat it back on its nose.

Glad you liked it Rick.

What do you think about that photo and story of the F-4 pilot flying between the hangars?
What a nut! Laugh [(-D]

Glad I wasn't standing there. A good freind of mine, a now retired Col. from the Mich. ANG, Did a flyby over my house several years ago during my sons' high school graduation party. He brought an F-4C over at about 1,000 feet, made 2 passes and then went into a vertical climb. I think half the kids there wet their pants.
