Your Sunday Morning Jet Noise

F-86 takeoff:



The early jets were ground-loving sons-of-bitches. I got to talk to a man who was an AF F-86 pilot, he told me that getting a fully-loaded one off the runway, especially in Florida, was a combination of skill and luck.

I'm an air combat sim fan, and I know why there hasn't been a fun simulation of the air war in Korea. It's because it wasn't fun. Up in the thin air, against an opponent with slightly better performance numbers, no missiles, short legs... It must have been like a sword fight on a tight wire. Incredibly tense, yet with the overriding need to act very slowly.
