Trip 136, Fall 2016, Colorado
001-006 – Next trip was a nice change of pace to a training line out in Colorado. High altitude practice of low level terrain following is a tricky bitch sometimes, but gets some great pictures and views. First stop was in Kansas for Army Guard training of loading vehicles at Manhattan Regional Airport.

007 – A favorite character from a dollar rider flight a while ago is back with me again, but he’s sharper now, and harder to trick.

008 – What is this? The WMCA?
https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...g?format=2500w
009 – C-17 groupie? I actually don’t remember her story, as she wasn’t on our crew, but hung around the jet for loading and engine start.
https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...g?format=2500w
010 – The fire department showed up for training, and I’m always happy to show egress and entry operation of the jet to all that could someday have to pull my *** out in an emergency. He was asking about fuel fire load, and eyes got big when I said a full tank of gas could be 36,000 gallons.

011 – Four turnin’ up tight. Let’s go earn money!

012 – Back to high altitude training while out of breath in Colorado.

019 – This didn’t come out as cool as it looked from the air.

020 – High altitude low level terrain following training time! Pull them ‘belts up tight.

051 – Watch out for that bunny hill at 12000 feet. “Powers in. Visual.” At this altitude the motors take over a half a minute to spool up, so the power has to be planned ahead of time, or else we don’t have it available.

Bit of a difference from a turbine driving a propeller gearbox. Constant speed turbine and prop, controlled by propeller blade angle. Dump more fuel, turbine wants to spool up more, prop governor increases blade angle to maintain constant speed. Higher blade angle = higher shaft horsepower = aircraft goes faster and/or climbs faster.
