Message: Here you go...My Dad retired in 1982 as a full bird Air Force F-4 driver. He also flew 135's and was an IP in 135's at March AFB 1965-1967. I'm pretty sure the years are right but if not, they are close.

I, on the other hand, chose to go the civilian route and have since aquired about 9000 hours 10 type ratings ranging from Citations to Falcons.

Needless to say, we talk about flying. In one of our conversations he told me that as an IP in the 135 he used to show students roll reversal on the 135 as you went through mach. I have asked him are you sure more than once...more than 20...ans everytime he says yes.

Well I now work with a old Air Force 'nav' turned PIC in a 135 (according to him), and he says in not so many words that my Dad doesn't know what he's talking about. So before I have to kick the &*%# out of him I tought I would try to find out the real story. There has to be somebody out there that would know or has also done it in the a/c. My Dad doesn't lie. No way.

If anybody can help I would sure appreciate it. My email will work fine. Thanks.
