| Virgil H. Soule Frederick, MD | The Boeing YC-14 and MD YC-15 were built as technology demonstrators in preparation for the YC-17 program. The YC-14 used the upper surface blowing technique for STOL lift enhancement. Engine efflux was directed over the upper surface of the wing and produced additional lift via coanda effect. The YC-15 used the lower surface blowing technique that directed the engine efflux through the flaps for added lift. The LSB technique proved superior and was chosen for the C-17. The C-17 is one of USAF's better ideas and they should buy as many of them as they can. The YC-14 and YC-15 were important tools for aviation development in this country and deserve to be preserved at the National Air Force Museum at Dayton, OH. It would be a crying shame if they were scrapped. 05/01/2007 @ 12:50 [ref: 16365] |
| Steel , OH | Back when I was in the military doing discretionary warfare (can't tell you anything else), I had the oportunity to transfer to the Air Force and enter their 48-week TPS (Test Pilot School) course where it was understood upon graduation that I would fly for the YC-14A STOL project. It was said that my chances of survival were 30%. That said, I decided to clean out my life savings and have the best 10 weeks of my life prior to re-assignment. I met this prostitue named Roxy. She introduced me to a bunch of her friends and we all did the nasty for weeks on end. I felt like Ron Jeremy. Anyway, long story short... I reported for first day where we underwent a physical on day two. The physical was all day and very through. The doctors realized I had about 12 sexual diseases and a swollen colon (don't ask). They immediately dropped me from the program saying that I would be a risk not only to the progress of it, but to the General's daughter. Sadly they were right. I boinked her anyway and then left the military. Now I dispatch airplanes. I know... what a loser I've become. 11/18/2006 @ 04:00 [ref: 14773] |

| Rich Linder Tulsa, OK | As a student pilot in the early 70's, (about '74-'75), I remember flying touch and go's with a Scott AFB Aero Club Cessna 150 with both the Boeing YC-14 and the McDonnell Douglas YC-15 in the Scott AFB pattern with me at the same time.
The proposed new aircraft were apparently at Scott AFB (MAC Headquarters) to put on a demonstration for the MAC Staff. I wished then I had a camera with me. 03/23/2006 @ 08:32 [ref: 12888] |
| Corey Chow Garden Grove, CA | YC-15 ship #1 (72-1875) is in Palmdale California at Plant 42, site 1. It is being held in storage until a decision is made to use/produce the aircraft or return it to the USAF. 10/25/2005 @ 01:37 [ref: 11564] |
