Turning Approaches

Turning approaches are not only tactical, but they are a fun way to develop airmanship during training. When the design of the approach demands max performance, it's not just max performance of the airplane but of the aircrew as well. Turning approaches and run-ins require extra crew study and more CRM. Use the linked Turning Approach / Run-in Briefing Guide to not only conduct a mission briefing on the procedure but to help you plan the approach itself.

I just put up a post about LOX on the Hercules and I quoted your Section 1.doc.

Charles, I used to be POL and have handled plenty a LOX carts. I have to tell you, while it's hot hanging around in protective gear in the desert, there is some relief in the cool oxygen vapors that gas off as the liquid heats and evaporates. Thanks for your interest.
