Pilot Takes Off Too Steeply

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter He earned that bit of fun! I always loved the auto TF descent in the FB-111. You'd be straight and level at altitude, flip one switch and the aircraft would pitch over to an 80° descent then level you off at 1000' above the ground, all hands off.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Actually 2.5 but SAC restricted us to 2.0 :-))

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Oh I Remember the B-1B Making a "Practice Run" on My Ship and I Remember How Much You Guys Like Kicking in the Afterburner Right after Take Off at RAF Lakenheath on the F-111, Makes Sleeping Damn Near Impossible!

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Navy folks need beauty rest? :-))

Lt Col Charlie Brown Even Navy Fighter Jocks are Not that Crazy!
