Parked next to this B-25 Mitchell on the ramp in Madison last week. She’s the “Champaign Gal”. She was there for an air show and is currently getting some TLC on the right engine.

I let a former F-4 jock fly my chopper once. He did fine in straight and level flight. When I let him try to hover after a short lesson with each control individually (collective, cyclic and pedals), he pushed in right pedal, instead of left and we spun around and around until I said, "I got it". He told me that he was used to adding right pedal with increased power in his O-2! I asked him what it was like to fly F-4's. He said, on takeoff you hold the brakes and when the nose pitched down, you release the brakes and she flies off the runway!

I found lots of airplane guys did fine in straight and level, and often did OK with regular turns overall. Add anything else to that (climbing/descending turns, airspeed changes, and of course slow flight or hovering) and that all goes out the window lol.

If you notice there is a substantially lower smoke trail. The RAF F4s were Rolls-Royce spey powered, not GE J79 powered, and burned cleaner

I was wondering about that. I figured they cleaned up the footage some how to show how ego friendly they were.
