Folks,



Sorry this is OT, but wanted to share with you that I was selected to ride with the USAF Thunderbirds at Sun n Fun.



I will be in Thunderbird #8 taking off about 2:00pm on Thursday April 15th.



Give me a thumbs up! Sierra-Hotel!

Too bad you have to settle for a second rate  team.  Maybe the Blues will be there next year.....

  

 (Sorry, but a target of opportunity can't be  passed up!)   : )

  

 Have fun.

  

 Fly Navy!

Yes, Fly Navy…from deep blue postage stamp to deep blue postage stamp all the while sleeping with a bunch of guys in a closet. I prefer my runways long and stable not moving all the while trying to kill me. I prefer my linens clean and cool in MY Q room not warm and freshly slept in. I prefer to have a cold beer at the end of a Sierra Hotel sortie not having to wait until the boat slides into her port of call a month after that Shit Hot sortie.  

Go Air Force!  

Vipers forever!

Well you have to say zoomies are consistent: they always take too long to stop.

The gear last longer that way. Makes for a lighter more agile airplane too

when you don't have add 10 tons of additional steel and titanium for those

controlled crashes. :^))

Doc, you just defined the differences between the services perfectly.  



One service prefers to put fighting the war first.  Get close, get

dirty, get er done.   



Another service asks if their linens are ready, if the runway is long

enough, if the Q room is warm or cool, whether the beer is cold, and

make ABSOLUTELY sure no one is trying to actually kill you, and then

maybe that service will participate....And then write themselves up for

a bunch of air medals in the process.     



GO AIR FORCE!  



You betcha!

Nobody said anything about the Danged Marines...you guys don't know the

difference between clean linen or not. Just turn it inside out and wear a

couple of more days.

:^))

Wasn't Eleanor Roosevelt quoted as saying ....."The Marines I have seen

around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest

morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen".



Perhaps standard have slipped since 1945...... sic

Mark,

     That reminds me of the procedures at NAS Kingsville when we had an FCLP 

pattern full on the parallel 13's.  If a T-38 out of SAT came down for an 

approach (the approach was set up for13L)  we had to delta our students 

overhead until the -38 was out of the way.  Rwy 13R met the 8,000' minimum, 

but 13L was a dangerously short 7,998'.  The tower called us and told us to 

get our flock out of the way.  Lots of LSO's had sunburned middle 

fingers......

Mark,

     I always got a kick out of the procurement process.  The Air Force got 

new stuff, turned it over to the Navy when they spiffed up their facilities, 

then when a leg or two was busted off of a table or chair, it went to the 

Marines.  Most JO quarters on an AFB were nicer than senior officer quarters 

on any NAS.  Maybe nicer than flag quarters.   Made most AFB's a great RON. 

Kept Beaufort off of the list of favorites!

Hmmmm.  The oldest honorable service of the United States of America has always been the lowly GI (i.e. Army).  Our first commander was none other than GW.  We had the first ballown and we also had the first airplane.  The rest is just history. Navy, Marines, and Air Force?  Just specialized trained oddities.  ;>}
