Navy guys only fly over water because they have to....the Air Force flies over water because we want to.

Well, doesn't matter whether it is Air Force, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard, NASA, DOT or Civil Air Patrol, the truth is- it's way to high above the water to be Newk.

The whole Apolo program is what inspired many of us to get into flying in the first place and was a big part of our motivation to get through grade school, high school, college and join the military, chasing the dream.

Wouldn't it be great if 50,000 pilots showed up, in uniform, at his funeral?

Any word on where/when it is?

I'd never call an Air Force guy a liar. This is what happens next...

Besides, the Blue Angels had to cut up their F-14s when they went to F-16s. So the Australians couldn't use them as spares.

That has to be my favorite Thomas Kincaid painting.

ah, too large a photo be damned, let's do this right...

Awesome.

only Americans would figure out how to put skyscrapers into space.

God I hope so, but it's hard to tell sometimes. Some of them were not born when the first RJ's came on line. I've not seen too many B1's around lately, and I heard it was the only airplane in the inventory -not- to fly in Desert Storm.

I had some AF buds who flew it, but they said it was always broke and half their missions cancelled. One guy I whet through UPT with was one of the guys who punched out of one about 25 years ago...after turning it to just miss a school or hospital or something, on a low level training run out west.

I heard it was a real POS, after Jimmy Carter got done cutting the budget for it.

Wait? Wha?

B-1? Who is talking about the stealth fighter?

We're talking about Ferd's F-15Fs!
