Sorry didn't realize supporting an American business with $50,000 of my money wasn't honorable.
I didn't know mil guys did that with civilians. I guess it's all in which shoes you wear. There's definitely an LCA on the 777 who tries to make mil guys look dumb. Whatever.
I like to hear everyone's story. Especially the civ guys because its a side of aviation I'm not familiar with. The mil guys, to me, have some commonality of experience, but there are some cool civ stories. One of my favorites was a guy flying in Alaska to all these Eskimo reservations. He picks up some dead Eskimo and mid flight the guy sits straight up. That'll get your attention. This is of course the very short story version.
