Lubo came out to visit Edwards to see me.
Here are a few photos of him, jets, Jerry and I at the base in 99-2000. |
Lubo liked the hot US jets and got to see the
NASA museum at EDAFB and also flew over SW USA for quite a tour! Lt Lubo
Slavov from the Bulgarian AF Academy flew his T-37 from Laughlin to visit
me at EDAFB. |
Jerry Sanchez and I flew a dogfight 1 on 1 sortie,
I think he got a little sick. |
Here we try to act all cool and stuff like in
Top Gun. But we don't get paid nearly as much as Tom Cruise. |
The T-38 is a supersonic jet trainer and is used
for Test Pilot School at EDAFB. |
Prior to every flight you must make sure you
have proper oxygen flow, the last thing you want to find out at 1000mph
is that you can't breathe. |

The Orange F-16s are used as chase planes to
test aircaft so as to not get hit while flying close chase. |
G suits and helmets in the ready room.
G suits fit tight as to keep blood in your head
so you dont black out so fast in a tight turn. |
