What do you get when you cross a A-1E and a HH-3??

A rescued pilot.

A collision?

Those are all pretty good answers but I was going to say a "gyrocopter".

A well protected Jolly Green and a recovered pilot in need of a smoke.

An HC-130P overtaking both...

It's a trick question!
You can't cross the two...
...because the A-1E supplies ample protection.

A friend told me once of flying formation with Naked Fanny and in trail it was raining behind the SPAD. Black rain that is

As you may have seen on Gary Austin's Skyraider Mait thread, I have decided to go above and beyond on the subject of oil leaks this year. I had dried the beast up substancially in the first six months after I got the airplane. This year I decided that there is basically no reason for any more leaks than my T6, which is dry as a bone. We relaced the oil cooler and oil cooler bypass valve, changed every push rod seal with Jeff Abbott's retrofit system, all new rocker arm cover gaskets, every hose on the aircraft was replaced (new hose and fittings, with fire sleeve). Every accessory seal, and a new wet vaacum pump. No more black rain for this bird!!!!
As far as flying formation behind the AD, at the Cape Girardeau Airshow they briefed the Skyraider to take off first , followed by a couple of P-51s. One of the mustang guys said I'll keep it up tight to the AD to give the guys behind us a chance to catch up. Brad Hood was the other P-51 and he stands up at the end of the briefing and says " I don't know how many of you have tried to take off behind that thing, but it makes more bad air than a formation of B-25s, you better wait until it clears the end of the runway, if you want to do this again on Sunday".
You gotta love that....My buddy Bill Greenwood also didn't want to fly behind it at Thunder over Micigan, partly political, partly survival instinct.

One of the best ways we have found, and probably the only way to keep a radial from leaking oil, is to not put any in it. But then again we drained the oil out of the Lodestar's engines a year and a half ago and She is still dripping oil.

You get the most beautiful sight a downed pilot has ever seen in his life.
My thanks and respect to all the rescue aircrew out there who do it 'that others may live'.
