Edit : my apologies, ladies and gentlemen I made a mistake of saying Tinker Air Force Base is in Tulsa, it is my mistake. I confused it with the air National Guard that is in Tulsa. The Tinker Air Force Base is actually in Oklahoma City. My apologies on this
Welcome back everybody and I hope everyone has been doing well. This episode is a bit of an offshoot and not a stig shift, but still an entertaining adventure that I wanted to share with you. I hope you guys enjoyed the small tour of the MRO as well as the museum. I will see you all on the next adventure, more fun times to come

Stig, NO!!!!! 🤦‍♂😂 Tinker AFB is in Oklahoma City on it's own field. The F-16's you saw are a Oklahoma Air National Guard wing at Tulsa International. I work at Tinker AFB on the KC-46(aka 767-2C) BTW. I was there at the AA facility a few years ago to see their operation as at the time we had not gotten our first 46 for C checks. Side note on the 777. Subaru Corp (former Fuji Heavy Industries) makes the center wing box for it.

When I heard Sig say Tinker AFB was in Tulsa, my mind jumped quickly. I have seen Tinker AFB from along side of I-40 going to and from Will Rogers World Airport (OKC).

Having had an avid aviation buff, modeler father in the 60's, he and I probably went to every museum, airport (and & every size), air bases, air shows i southern CA and some in Northern CA too. Airplanes were his drug of choice. He had in the 50's, early 60's worked at Douglas in the MATH dept when it was pencils & siderules. We had wind tunnel test models hanging in the garage (a lot). His free time was aircraft 100%. 6 or 7 years old hustling accross that huge tarmac at air shows trying to keep up. My first Xmas present I can remember was a battery powered B58. Was a marine in WWII, then college, ROTC, became a 1st Lt., artillery and chemical warfare instructor and personally viewed the atomic tests in Nevada. We were really close because of aviation. Then one day when I was about 12, he told mom he was going to buy a 1911 .45 pistol. He bought that gun and ALL changed instantly. Honestly, I don't think t 10:32 he thought of an airplane ever crossed his mind again. And to be honest, he basically never thought of me again either. Our relationship just stopped. It has never made sense to me one bit. Anyway, when I watch your vids it takes me back. The museum one especially. My dream girl has always been a P51D.

I was blown away how similar cables pulleys cockpit was of the DC-3 next to our MD-80’s in C Check….. man I haven’t forgot the smell of that acft when it came and when we worked on it. Great Video

Stig, you are not alone. There are many like-minded aficionados! That’s why museums that are a little more comprehensive are AWESOME - eg Air & Space Museum next to Dulles KIAD airport. Given the sheer number of “specimens” of engines, wings, props, … you can literally SEE the improvements in the lineage of each, slowly transitioning from basic concept to today’s massively-refined versions. For a tech evolution/strategy aviation junkie guy, this is nirvana.

I remember at 3-4 years old, being on a DC-8 from Georgia to Calif. in 1961. First passenger plane to exceed Mach 1, in a STEEP dive by a test pilot. On August 21, 1961, a Douglas DC-8-43 (registration N9604Z) exceeded Mach 1 in a controlled dive during a test flight at Edwards Air Force Base. The crew were William Magruder (pilot), Paul Patten (copilot), Joseph Tomich (flight engineer), and Richard H. Edwards (flight test engineer).

My first fleet command in the Navy was SH-3D’s helicopters. We deployed on the USS SARATOGA CV-60. I was an aviation hydraulics mechanic. We had two F-14A squadrons VF-74 BeDevilers and VF -103 Sluggers. Boy did you have to pay attention when they turned those bad boys on the flight deck of the carrier. I then reenlisted and changed commands to VFA-106 the F-18 RAG(replacement air group) training command for new F-18 pilots. These were the legacy Hornets, not the current Super Hornets.

I touched a B-1B and a B-29. I wanted to feel the history of those aircraft. And this museum you’re at - beyond fantastic. Thank you for this awesome adventure. 🙂

My wife worked for Hughes Aircraft Company's Radar Systems Group in El Segundo. She wrote software used in the 8-bit computer at the heart of the AWG-9 weapons system of the F-14. Her two areas of focus were the communication between the radar system and the AIM-54 Phoenix missile during command guidance mode, and "situational awareness," that is, the display of information to the Radar Intercept Officer. Hughes borrowed some of her display software for use on the F-15 Eagle. Compare this tiny memory and slow processor to computers today. That 8080 microprocessor provided the Tomcat with the world's first track while scan and long-range intercept capability. The F-14's 1970s capability was not equaled by the Navy until 2016, when the F/A-18E Super Hornet received the extended range AIM-120D AMRAAM, made by Raytheon.

The hours, the weather, nothing stops the continuous maintenance of these machines. I flew for your outfit for 36 years and found the engineers and technicians thru out the system to be the best. I got to fly test out of Tulsa on the DC-10 and Alliance on the 76/75. Overhaul is an amazing thing to see. My dad was a mechanic for United from the early 1950's and his dad built wooden wings for Curtiss aircraft. Keep the tradition of exemplary workmanship alive young man. Love your videos. P.S. I notice the chine tires and spray deflector are missing off the nose gear on the -80. Must be so they could mount it on the pedestal.

@@StigAviation thats good. Looks like LA got hit hard againg yesterday too. I thought Van Nuys airport was going to float away lol. By the way, what can cause a wheel to fall off like the one yesterday?

@StigAviation 3 месяца назад

It might’ve been a damaged wheel assembly or damaged axle nut. I’m still not sure I’m gonna have to wait for the investigation.

Awesome video, definitely a must-visit for any aviation enthusiast. Quick note on the B717-200 - pretty certain it was the MD-95 initially before MD's merger with Boeing. Thanks for sharing!

I probably worked on those former Emery DC-8's at 8:26. The DC-9/MD-80 part I disliked the most was the BUTE door, I'm sure you've had your share of experiences with those doors Stig... Love the museum, great video Stig!

@StigAviation 3 месяца назад

Yes, indeed I did have lots of experience on those doors, specially anything regarding in that aft compartment, where the Air stairs were. Almost no room to work.

First plane I worked on for AA was DC-10 hangar 5F Aug.87. I think it was N163AA in for C check. There was like 15K employees in TULE at the time. First plane I worked on in DFW...MD-80. Loved that plane. BTW, still at DFW at AA, 2024, and still love my job.

👍👍 Beautiful museum - envy .. P,S, Little trivia - at 16:54 - when you are climbing to F-14 cockpit - see that tiny line - right - in the very pointy start of wing - just above inlet - those are "high speed glove vanes" . Those were meant to deploy on high speeds - to help with CG shift - but were actually welded latter .. I was "original Top Gun " generation - spent all my allowances to see movie in theater back in 80's .. And at the very end of my career - before retirement - was extremely lucky and proud - touched the beauty with my bare hands - and no other than famous "Jolly Roger" one .. We were visited for some cooperative exercise - and I couldn't miss the opportunity of lifetime - and "top gun" of my whole career .. Beauty is sadly also retired now - so I think I can speak - TV camera was IMPRESIVE .. (one could count feathers on real gull wing - faar faar away ..) 😉

Thanks for sharing your adventure. I had an opportunity to visit the Smithsonian museum in DC and can fully understand your fascination with the history. The MD 80, though not as comfortable as the more modern aircraft, is a very sharp looking plane. I flew from Dallas to El Paso on one and it sure seemed to be very powerful. Always look forward to your videos. Thanks again!

Such a cool video. That museum looked like a great place to see. Air New Zealand had 737-200's and also a Quick Change(QC) that were powered by the JT8D engine. I can remember that around 1993 they were re-fitted with Nordam hushkits. Miss that distinctive sound they made especially when powering up for take off and the reverse thrust on landing.

@StigAviation 3 месяца назад

Those JT8Ds were very loud. Like a fighter jet

@markcorry878 3 месяца назад

Yes they certainly were. Have you been following the news about the LATAM 787-9 that was flying between Sydney and Auckland when it dropped suddenly. 50 passengers were injured including a child. On our tv national news it was reported that one passenger had spoken to the pilot and he said that he lost instrumentation briefly. Apparently they are saying it was a "technical issue" rather than sudden turbulence. Must have been a very frightening experience for them.

Awww Stig, you should know that your brain is completely normal, I feel the same way that you do. When you touch something, it becomes more real to you. And of course if its allowed, yes, get inside the plane and look at everything and feel the controls. The emotions that I was feeling, I admit that I was brought to tears. You'd be surprised, but even through a video, I can feel the energy, its presence, its substance, its magnificence. I only wish that I could have been there with you at the museum. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the MD-80, as you showed us the plane as well. The way you speak, you just bring my heart right there in the moment in aw of everything you film. Thank you for this amazing gift! ❤✈😍

Stig, I am right there with you when it comes to aviation museums. Last year, I hit up 6 museums (Royal Singapore Air Force Museum in Singapore, USS Intrepid in NYC, Museum of Flight in Seattle, USS Midway & the San Diego Air & Space Museum in SAN, and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum in Hawaii) between April-October. I used a bunch of points/miles with UA/AA, but it was worth it. I always become a museum member & make a donation to help out. I made a serious upgrade to my camera gear recently, so I'm headed back to several of the same museums in April & May (make use of the free admission with membership) in addition to making my first trip to the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, which is a known difficult facility to get good photos in.
