European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 17, 1958, Darmstadt, Hesse Col 81st gets briefing on voodoo practice at Ben Waters by Robert staff writer the cute Are some strange voodoo practices going on at the Busy Bent Waters air base in England and there having a magic effect on pilots of the 81st tactical fighter Wing transitioning into without even leaving the Jet pilots of the 81st Are hourly taking off and Landing on a base thousands of Miles away in there doing it in a plane which most of them have its not done with mirrors but with a tidy million contrivance known As the mb4 flight manufactured by Mel a subsidiary of Westing House air its the Only machine of its kind in the entire air the mb4 simulates flight in the f101a the air forces fastest operational Jet which the 81st Wing is scheduled to receive late this All pilots of the Wing currently Are taking 10 hours transition training in the a Maze of complicated the Simu Lator is an electronic Behemoth harbouring some tubes and 160 drawers Ful of delicate equipment that enable it to do everything on the ground that the super tonic voodoo does the vast amount of equipment is Neces to enable the stationary mb4 to record on the instrument panel in the trainers Earth bound which is an exact replica of the All the changes Mould occur in an actual the purpose of the simulator is to save fins and Money by duplicating on the or mid All Normal and emergency flight procedures that the f101 Pilot might encounter while the machine even simulates Jet noises and flashes of Light since All the Ben Waters pilots will travel to Bergstron to actually Check out in the All the flight patterns and Goa approaches employed in the simulator drills Are geared to conditions which they will face at two civilian reps from Robert Gerber and Robert and five airmen maintain around Hemlock maintenance on the the airmen Are m sgt Paul noncom in charge t sgt Neal Klusmeyer s sgt Henry Wehmeyer Jose Vasquez and Philip hat while in the the Pilot wears full flying including helmet and and the machine operates his oxygen Supply and simulates every de Tail of flight even Down to popping the aircraft drag Chute on eight to 10 hours in the Trainer Dost seem like much Jantzen pointed but after you see one of the pilots crawling out of the you know Hes had a were Able to throw More emergencies at him in minutes than he would be faced with in a thousand hours of actual we can flame him cause his Hydraulic system to feed him a compressor stall or put his fuel pumps out of the simulator analyses and figures out mathematically All changes and relays them to the cockpit where they appear on the pilots instrument so if we flame him he has to go through the com plete procedure for Clearing the engine and each Pilot is briefed for roughly an hour before each simulator flight and after he lands the instructor Pilot evaluates his performance in the nobody washes out of the course but backward students May be forced to spend an hour or two extra in the after the usual quota of 10 hours in the the 81st pilots will be ready to transition directly into the and with the training there getting at be right at
