Hearted Youtube comments on Not A Pound For Air To Ground (@notapound) channel.

  1. I’m sure that - like all FAAM fighter pilots - the two gentlemen were models of modesty and self-effacement… It must have REALLY pissed off the Aussies that were poms 🤣🤣😂. Brilliant show mate! 👍👍

  7. One important point covered here is the actual justification of interceptors in the 1950’s. Logically the Russian B-29ski would not be a threat: how are these WW2 anachronisms going to make a round trip to the continental U.S. without air-to-air refueling? Answer: doesn’t matter, their Russian. In the late 1950’s we were doing nuclear attack drills in school, and one of my friends’ father was the Army Lt.Col. commanding the local Nike anti-aircraft missile batteries, part of a ring surrounding Pittsburgh in western Pennsylvania. A bit of paranoia involved, maybe, but the threat was real. Khrushchev said he was going to bury us: wanted to, couldn’t, but his forces could have made some serious dents. A very different man from the still-dangerous Prince of Clowns still loose in Eastern Europe. Bottom line: the Air Force and Navy were stuck with adapting interceptors to very different roles through the 1960s, which they did very well, but there was a valid reason they were stuck with inappropriate airframes for the war they found themselves in.

  13. Excellent story. I loved the Cutlass as a kid and built a model of it in the 1950s The restoration center of the Museum of Flight in Seattle located at PAE was in the process of restoring a Cutlass but fittingly they gave up on the project and sold it.

  18. My dad trained in F-86Ds at Perrin AFB Tx in 1956 and flew F-86Ls in the 56th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Air Defense Command, at Wright-Patterson AFB Oh from 1957-58. The "pods" the F-86Ls that were "on alert" took off from, are still there. The hanger doors still protrude out to accommodate the noses of the F-86L. Apparently, the pods were originally sized for a previous fighter. Much like a firehouse, the pilots on alert lived in the hanger in case an alarm was sounded, and then they were supposed to jump into their planes and head north to intercept Russian bombers coming over the north pole. The pilot had enough fuel to make one pass on one bomber and return to base. The pilots were never ordered to do this, but it was pointed out that if they fired half their rockets at a bomber, they could use their remaining fuel to fire the other half of the rockets at a second bomber and ram a third bomber. The rationale was that they could stop three bombers from nuking three cities, rather than just saving one city. It was not lost on the pilots that they could save millions of lives if they gave their own lives for this. The F-86L was physically the same as the F-86D but had an updated radar unit. The 56th FIS had a distinctive black and yellow checkerboard design on the tail.
