Much modern technology but on the military stands my highlight was the KC135 Stratotanker. One of the crew, James and another young female USAF pilot kindly showed us through the magnificent machine built in 1957 (three years before the neighbouring B52!) Controls are all cables and pulleys except for rudder boost. No cockpit aircon but just a cockpit temperature gauge which peaks at 40degs C, after which they use a portable oven thermometer! Power from the CFM56 engines to spare with all take off calculations based on three engines only. They came from California with the Raptors with a diversion around a cyclone (Oma?) to Japan. Loved the passion, enthusiasm and knowledge of these two young ambassadors of the USAF.
