Thanks -- this is the first time I've seen this and it's kind of funny -- it's winter time and the polen is pretty bad.  I've worked on C, D, E, E LES, and RF's -- Phantastic airframe..

As far as smoke, if I remember, when they got rid of the -17 and -19 GE engines, the smoke just about stopped. The -21's were almost smoke free.

Wish I could remember the Majors name, but he was the FB-111A Test Pilot at Pease AFB NH.  And yes, I have worked on THAT aircraft.  Actually with 11 years total between Pease and Plattsburgh AFB NY I have worked on every FB-111A built.
