Sometimes you have a good day...

Logged 5.2 hours today in gunnery. Shot 1000 rounds of 50 cal and 28 rockets.8 of those rockets were flechettes. Little orange puffs of awesome.

 

On a downside my kiester is sore as hell. Kiowas aint comfy.

[SemperGumby]

Sounds like an awesome day. I also had my last live fire gunnery here at Rucker though it was no 8 hour flight. Not a bad way to to earn a day's pay.

[akscott60]

I do the same thing tonight in about 8 hours.

[revaequitas]

If only I were that lucky lol

You will get used to it, especially during deployments.

[akscott60]

I bet that 50 is unpleasent to shoot with muzzle "right there". The Huey's gauges would dance with the blast if my gunner shot forward. But "people" listen when those golf balls start hitting all around...

[akscott60]

Yea. Im half deaf.

[KING]

Yea. Im half deaf.

[yakfishr19]

6'5" !!! Nice man. You still feel comfortable in the kiowa being that tall or do you just deal with it?

[wopilot]

It's not my butt that get's sore anymore... It's my back...

 

I was flying around Fort Rucker yesterday... oh the memories.

 

And man! Has Enterprise grown....

[AVIATORWANNABE]

My buddy is 6'2" and is disqualified from kiowas due to his height.. I wonder if that's new

[akscott60]

Nope. Sitting height limitation has been there for a long time. Some of us just ignore it, in our own pigheaded way.
