Maybe most people have seen this, but I hadn't and found it impressive. This crew had their $hit together.

It's from this site, a collection of USAF training films on youtube.

I.......just.......love....those......training.........films.....with......the......commentators.......smooth.......conversational.....style.....of.......delivery........'help,........I'm........on.........fire.........'
Watching these stilted, stiff films is a great way to learn how to give a smooth, easy going delivery style, that worked for me as an instructor-tell 'em what your gonna tell them tell them what they're hearing, tell 'em what you told them.
You also have to understand that if I say 100 words to you in a training environment. you will only recall 10 of those words, so you learn to bust the pitch up into tiny bites and if you can tack on personal experiences as a lead in or tail off, so much the better-I loved being an instructor.

What do you suppose the long, flat sided prop housings on the XB-35 and the forest of verticals were for on the XB-49? Now it's done by computers and tip clamshell rudders-

Split ailerons were on the N9m and XB35/YB-49. The same mechanism was also used to split the Shuttle rudder.

How about the mustaches on the col. and the Boeing Pilot? Cool Do any airforce pilots have mustaches these days?
