Thanks to the efforts of Curley and Max and an afternoon Benzing, we got new brake calipers and pads all around on the CD that has been in the barn waiting for awhile. I still need to bleed them a bit, pedal was spongy and wasn’t getting much braking. But that’s OK. They sent me the wrong front

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

Stall event is not just an angle of attack function. Many other factors can and do come into play, such as aircraft weight [fuel load, cargo, drag, and air density, ice accumulation, etc etc]. Angle of attack indication only gets you "somewhere in the ballpark of when stall will occur". Good

The Tailwind can operate out of almost any airport, while the canards need a long runway. Someone built a Long-eze here on our 2600 ft. airport and didn't manage to clear the trees at the end. Made a mess of broken fiberglass. My C182A with nothing special gets off the ground in approx. 800 - 900

Not very likely. I'm retired from Navy Reserve now. Retired from active duty would be called before me. Army did that for the surge back in 2008, Navy did not being back any retired that I know of, although they can always make exceptions for "by name" recall if someone has a needed skill.

Dredging back into my less and less reliable memory, I don't think a KC-135 is actually the same as a 707 -- I believe I remember that the 707 fuselage is wider (and hence a completely different design) and last time I looked, admittedly many years ago, the engines on the KC-135 had not been

There’s a refueling group at MacDill AFB here in Tampa that is all KC-135s, so I see them daily out of my office window as they take off and land. I was thinking more of the commercial versions, since they’re far rarer. Here’s a picture of my youngest son in the “boomer’s” cradle in a KC-135.
