Bumps in the road

The problem with operating military jets from civilian airfields. All the little speed bumps when taxiing. Still if you go by NFR flight procedures, its not such a problem.



NFR! No Frick'n Rules. Just overtake them.

LOL!

No, no, no! It should be more of "I have radar lock, do I have permission to fire?"

Tempting Meshman, but that is a vintage DC3 in the background.

You see some strange combinations of aircraft on the taxiways at airports that have both military and civilian sides. I remember flying out of Fukuoka (formerly Itazuke AB) on a JAL 727. Taxiway made a turn so I saw a few of the planes waiting ahead of us: USN C-117, couple Cessna/Piper type twins, a JASDF F-86 and another Japanese commercial jet.
