Fun At Work; Naval Air Edition

An EA-6B flies a low-level training route.



Which is why if your sectional chart shows that you'll be crossing a VR- or IR- route, it's good to ask whether or not the route is active.

The problem is that, as far as the VR routes are concerned, we have no idea if they are in use. We don't get told, we can't see the aircraft (most of the time), and they don't request advisories.

That being said, a flight of 4 C-130's, using SKE and stacked up 500' and about 5000' in trail, does a wonderful job of convincing the Cessnas they sandwich to call for advisories. I'm sure it only sounds like they need new underwear.

That refueling probe on the Intruder and Prowler always makes me think of the movie The Jerk.

The title character invented the central handle nub on eyeglasses to make it convenient to take them off, then everybody sued him because they got cross-eyed looking at the nub.

It does look like fun to fly like that. I wonder if it makes up for all the other being-a-military-pilot stuff.

Not if there is incoming fire.

There was a fatal mid-air between an A-6 and a cropduster in a VR route somewhere in Eastern WA about 15-20 years ago.
