F-14 FUN FACT OF THE DAY #47

In order to park an F-14 Tomcat, the wings must be swept back to 75 degrees. The wings are in “oversweep” as they overlap the horizontal wing stabilizers, allowing them to fit more aircraft on the flight deck.

The wiring that put the wings into this position broke “a lot”. Lieutenant Commander Walt Winters, a former F-14 Tomcat electrician with 12 years of experience on the Turkey, had the following to say about the wiring that would set the wing sweep to 75 degrees:

Sometimes you would have to jury-rig it. And you're doing this while you're on top of the airplane. It's still running, the engines are hot, and the [flight crew] are still in there. You've got panels open, and the boss is yelling over the loudspeaker, 'Get the wings back!' Jets are landing right beside you at 150 miles an hour. And taking off. And sometimes it's raining.

With this year’s balloon festival being cancelled, I have a huge void to fill. Suggested to me by a little warbirdie (🤭), we decided to take a road trip to Reading, and check out World War II Weekend at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum.

The Yellow Rose by Jeff Hooten Via Flickr: Part of the Central Texas Wing of the Commemorative Air Force, the B-25 "Yellow Rose" recently returned to the air after a much needed engine change. According to the CAF's webpage, "Central Texas Wing volunteers spent hundreds of hours to remove the engine, prepare it for overhaul and then re-install the newly rebuilt engine." _DSC6542_HDR
