No slugs!
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Ok – one of the Flash cartoons I’m working on is nearing completion, but I need help from y’all. If you have easy, authorized access to a C-17 and can send me pics from the inside, shoot me an email.
Also, I’m officially putting out a casting call for voice actors. I need two people, no specific gender. These are voices that will be heard over a radio, so the recording can (and will) be done over a phone or VOIP line and recorded on my end. If you’d like to try out, send me an email and we’ll arrange an audition call. These are really simple roles and will probably be filled pretty quick, and I’ll announce here when that’s done.
Thanks!

I thought fighter pilot’s shat didn’t stink
Nope, we saw in an earlier comic. The doctor prooved in fact it does stink.
Farva, ill do the show.. And nothing like crop dusting the best of friends.. Like being the driver of a car, locking the windows up, and lettin er rip..
Why would you want to do a comic with the C-17 when you could use the C-5 and make it so much better? Funny comic today. It reminds of when my OG/CC let one go in a class I had with him. Needless to say we had to evacuate the room for a few minutes. I don’t know what it is with those old guys but man they can make you almost puke.
Because the ratio of people asking me to include C-17s in the comic to those asking for C-5s is about 200:1.
200:1? That’s it? Even the reserve unit here at WPAFB is getting rid of their C-5′s and getting C-17′s.
FARVA, my brother is the OG/CC at McGuire AFB and is in charge of the KC-10′s and C-17′s there. I might be able to get a few pics of what you need.
I LOVE IT!!!! I live with 3 women.. When I need alone time I let it rip! Thus the handle Pumbaa!
Do you need to see something specific inside? or just want to know what the basic inside looks like?
BWAHAHA C-17s to the forefront. The reason C-5s aren’t requested much is because they actually can’t fly. Its a proven fact, a C-5 leaves the ground it comes back down broken as all get out… LOL!
Ok fine its a plane just like any other I think the reason there are more requests is because there are more C-17′s in the Air Force (196 C-17′s and 111 C-5′s).
I’ll try to get some shots of the interior for you Farva but you know the whole flightline pics is a tough thing to get.
now that just stinks!
He’s dead, If Lana doesn’t get him, dhart definately will.
It’s even better when it’s cabbage and/or asparagus based.
**lol*
One of the best inventions ever…the window lock button in cars…push the lock and fire away.
Ah yes, the old “roll up and lock the windows before ya let one rip” trick. That was one of Farva’s favorites!
Still is.
then you would enjoy flying with me as I calmly announce there is gas in the cockpit!
Ummm, not so much!
When I was a missileer, a good toot was guaranteed to back off an evaluator when you were getting your checkride.
I thought that stuff was outlawed by the Geneva Conventions…
Anyone else notice the flight suit zippers face the same way…haha
that is due to magnetic deviation and magnetic variation. Check your sectional. If they transfer to Eglin, zippers will be on the other side.
But the zippers are brass, aren’t they? Lucy? ‘Splain!
ug. you are correct. So, one of three things then.
Brass is magnetic in AFBlues world, or
that is due to prevailing winds in the region, or
Barbie ripped another one and the outflow boundry got them both.
tis sad that I had to go upstairs and look at my very old green bag and go D’oh!
If you go back and look, with the exception of Bert, I almost always draw zipper pulls on the opposite side of the nametag. No reason for it, really – just habit.
Chicks! Girls are trouble, Barbie! Especially the ones you can’t get away from because you quarter, eat, study, work, fly, and do everything else that duty calls you to do… with them! Don’t you learn anything? Just find yourself a nice college-educated civilian girl from a good family.
Does this advice work with enlisted guys? I sometimes think I’m to “sophistimacated” for women in my generation.
Lol, as long as you don’t go for an english major you’re good.
I’m a C-17 maintenance officer so I’m around them and in them every day. Unfortunately, my camera is NMCMU (Non-mission Capable: Maintenance-Unscheduled) due to a faulty battery charger.
Why not C-5? Because size doesn’t matter if you can’t get it up!
C-17 pilot here. What do you need?
Ha, I agree. Is that what you C-17 pilots say to the C-5 guys when you’re takin’ a leak?
This may be true but I know we don’t forget to put our gear down. And I have flown on several missions to save a C-17 that was broke somewhere and couldn’t leave. It’s all politics. It’s the new cargo jet so they need to make it look good so they do everything they can to hide it when it breaks. And I know there are already some C-17s they don’t fly over the ocean because they are already in that bad of shape.
Oh no doubt. We’re beating the everliving snot out of those planes, and they’re younger than the C-5. The 17′s are starting to fall apart too. (To your gear comment: BAZANGA!)
Just good natured jibing. =D
Used to have a flight engineer, Call sign “Stinky”, on AWACS….he’d let one go in the flight deck that’d have half the jet on oxygen!
When I was in radio school, or class NCO would spend his off time at the local beer garden swilling green Olympia and eating pickled eggs and pigs feet. In self defense we had to move his rack out to the parade deck.
Alright, so youtube/facebook/etc are finally unblocked at Ramstein…
love the JP coffee mug
also airliners.net is a great place to see photos of planes you might be able to find a picture of the inside there
oops posted the link wrong lets try it again if it fails again i quit
http://www.airliners.net/
Barbie’s an idiot. He always manages to surprise me by reacting to situations in a completely opposite way than a normal human being would. On a lighter note, hope everyone in AMC is enjoying the Wingman Standown! Here’s to over 5 hours of briefings, videos, and group discussion.
Ours takes place this Thursday, luckily I’m off work due to CDC EOC on Friday
Well, I am a little glad that I get a break from normal ops.
After 12 years of marriage, it doenst seem to work any more. And I try not to run off other wives. But co-workers……………….hehehe……………MMUUUAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
C-5s… C-5s… C-5s… I remember in 1985 when I was flying Space A around Asia and the Pacific they were the hottest transport around. Flash forward to 2008 when I tried to Space A from Travis AFB to Hickam AFB aboard several different C-5s that kept being turned back over the Pacific to Travis because they kept ‘breaking’ in flight. Yup… C-5s were… were… the hottest things around, but no more. Every dog has its day and the C-5 dog’s day is long gone.
Oh… and about NBC warfare… once you get married, your mate becomes immune and that weapon is no longer effective.
Farva,
I recommend this site for all cockpit pictures.
http://uscockpits.com/A-E.html#C
Mainly, because it has ALL cockpit pictures of about every aircraft ever flown. Including some C-17A shots. Hopefully one of them will work for you.
Actually, I don’t need cockpit or cargo hold photos. Thanks though to everyone who has sent me pics or links.
lol then what are “pics from the inside”? There isn’t much inside a C-17 other than a cockpit and a cargohold! lol
There is the lav…
Oh my, not a MHC pin with a Chesticles cluster… DADT, STS
ahhh touché
Well do we have travel plans……..?
This is a bit off topic but, I have been a long time lurker (almost 2 years) and since I was TDY out in Californinia for the last month and I came back to a new site that is totally awesome I decided to finally start posting….so FIRST. (hopefully this one gets approved)
Farva, you have created a great comic here, keep up the good work.
Glad to have you Mud Puppy…now come to the dard side and join the AFBlues Forum!
Farva, what parts of the jet do you need for pictures?
Given today’s subject manner, I would say he needs pics of the commode area!
VD
Somewhere, though it may only be old b&w negative, I’ve got a shot of the C-123 sanitary facility… kinda like the T-29/C-131, only without a compartment.
Forget the C-17 and C-5, The HERC is where its at!
sweet
Only have two words to say No Slugs
Ha hah! Farts are funny.
let me guess … Barbie dropped a “Dhart Fart”?
i wonder if he pulls a south park and has the girls come back and quaff on barbie
Why do I suspect that Dhart led to a bit of panic, the panic led to brief loss of sphincter control… pragmatist that he is, Barbie could never lose control(STS), so it had to be intentional.
