It was worth it this is looking superb.
Thanks Joe. This is where personal experience or a site visit comes into its own. I've no idea what these cabinets were for as the jets were powered by a GPU. There was always a prank being played on the new LAC's with them being sent out to switch on the pan heaters or windsock - and no, I wasn't a victim...maybe the prankster.\ said:Great work Rick, I'm loving this. I would never have thought of putting a relay box etc near the tarmac. Nice touches.
I've seen wet starts on Seaking's too at night and it's impressive. On one occasion there was so much excess fuel not all of it ignited and some was blown out to run down the side of the cab - then it ignited, the RadOps face in the Radshack window was a picture - they still scrambled.\ said:Nice fire extinguisher Rick, and a good story too. Seen some huge flames on starts from older generation turboprops (F27), they are quite common but probably enhanced because they are at night. Visible flame during a daylight start is probably not such a good thing.
