In the mid 70s, my father was stationed at Kadena as a Russian linguist flying on RC-135s. I was fortunate enough to have spent part of my childhood watching the Habu fly. With the depth of technical detail available these days on the Habu, I laugh thinking back to the airplane being on static display during an open house, and the crew there (one behind the ropes in a regular flight suit, the other in a step van, reclining and dressed out in his pressure suit) to “answer questions,” such as Q: “How high does it fly?”
A: “Really high.” Q: “How fast does it fly?”
A: “Really fast.”
This was an interesting book, though I thought my mind would go numb with some of the minutiae of the systems & their function.
