The Cold War

When this blog refers to a cold war or the cold war, it has something specific in mind.

The natural state of mankind is war. We hope it remains cold. We stay strong to give it the best chance to stay cold.

That great generational record of human behavior, the Holy Bible, reminds us that our species is capable of limitless cruelty in the hope of gain. More recently, in the last century, we just concluded the bloodiest experiments in socialism across the globe from the USSR to China to Cambodia and countless other countries.

Non-socialist countries are not immune. Countries with the greatest hopes of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” can quickly drive down the path of violence as well.

So if anyone points me to a “scientific” study that seems give us “…hope for the whole human race living in peace if we were only to A, B, or C…” I will not be impressed. I will not be willing to bet against the cruelty of my species.

A peaceful country requires a strong military.

Fortunately, I live in a country ruled by law and generally representative of the people’s will. So advocating a strong US military is a much stronger moral position than, for instance, advocating a strong Russian military, or a strong Iranian military.

All this to say that for us to live the lives we dream of, here in the USA, it is best that we hold a gun to the head of any other countries that may have designs on our assets.

As long as we keep our nation strong economically, politically, and militarily, no other country will start a “hot war” with us, that is, with destruction of property and loss of lives on a grand scale.


If the war is not on a grand scale, it is a cold war. And that is where we find ourselves today, and God-willing, every day.

In 1980, getting to the point of takeoff with this 25 year old aircraft was a real maintenance challenge We are still flying these aircraft, albeit the water-injected engines have been replaced A KC-135 in-flight refueling mission often started with my radio alarm going off at 3am. Aware of my wife's low and steady breathing, I quickly kill the alarm and quietly rise from bed to take a shower. I had set the alarm for 3 because I need to be at the air refueling rendezvous point on time. There is a precise spot out there in time and space. If I am not there, the receiver does not get his fuel. Recon does not happen. Top military and civilian leaders will be without the timely intel they need to keep the peace in the Cold War.  So that's my mission. Get the receivers the fuel they need to do their mission. Not really all that glamorous. But important. Now fully awake from the bracing shower, I tiptoe around the bedroom to get my flight suit and other gear my as wife sleeps p...

My 1st USAF Operational Assignment, Inflight Refueling the SR-71

Image
Flying KC-135s was my first assignment after graduating from the Air Force Academy and after general pilot training. I was co-pilot and then aircraft commander. Born in 1952, my life was very much affected by the years immediately following WWII. This was a time of optimism, a tremendous boom in aerospace, and dreams of a push-button future. My Dad’s B-24 bomber was pretty amazing technology that helped win the War. But post-war, the B-24s were scrap and there were now screaming jet engines, electronic computers getting smaller all the time, and advanced aircraft that could fly to the edge of space itself -- the stratosphere. One of these aircraft was the KC-135 Stratotanker whose operational ceiling was 50,000 feet. Above that, the pilot wears a spacesuit.   The first KC-135A rolled off the assembly line in 1956. They remain key assets today. I flew them from 1977 to 1982. The KC-135 aircraft is a Boeing product and looks a great deal like the Boeing 707, which was its contemporar...

My Crew

I was a cautious, safety-minded aircraft commander when I flew KC-135 tankers. I read all the pilot bulletins and Strategic Air Command safety magazines, so I knew how a moment of inattentiveness could lead to tragedy. And if my aircraft went down, it would not just kill me, but also my crew, others on board if we were hauling passengers, maybe the aircraft we were refueling, possibly people on the ground. I combated inattentiveness with a few tricks including good habits. If you do it right each time, no matter what, then when you are in a hurry you will do it right. For instance, the old tanker was a “water wagon”. It needed de-ionized water injected into the engines at take-off to get off the ground. During the aircraft commander’s walk around, one of the things we looked at was a fan recessed into the engine cowling. I would give that fan a twist at each engine to make sure it would turn. Sometimes, in very cold weather, that fan could freeze and that would mean no water and no ext...
