MIG-31 Cockpit

  1. When I was stationed with the 101st as a AH-1S Cobra helicopter repairman, one of my units helicopters landed in a farmers field. The xmsn was running hot. I took a replacement oil cooler fan to swap out and headed to the farm. While I was changing the fan out an old black guy showed up. He had the grisled hands of a man who had spent his life in the fields. We chatted for a bit and then he asked if he could look in the cockpit. I said "sure" and opened the ammo bay door so he could step up. The old guy climbed up, gazed upon the cockpit for about a minute, looked back at me and said "Damn! this thing has almost as many buttons and gauges as my combine" All I could do is smile.
