Pretty sure that's a Me-262 because it has engines under the wings and it's parked under trees. |

FTB... Thanks for all the laughs. I'd probably break ribs laughing on a trip with you. I do hear the LCA's on that mcboeing are great. You do have to have flown in the commuters (props) to understand how funny it all is... |

That contraption produced a lot of heroes. Plucking our guys out of a hot lead storm takes... something else entirely. I do believe we may have a couple, at least one still here. Was fortunate to have shared a cockpit with those guys.

Agreed. I once flew with a F/O on the DC-8 for a whole month. On the last trip of the month sitting in a bar a friend of his starts talking about his second Mig kill. This guy flew Thuds, had 2 mig kills, Silver Star and I didn't find out until trip number four at the end of the month. A true soft spoken professional.

I retired in Nov12, and think I was one of the last RVN dinosaurs....as far as multitasking, my first CO in country could break off target, slip just enough to weathervane a pair of 2.75's back on target.....I didn't believe it either, until I saw him do it. Regards, BG |

There are a lot of chopper guys now that have that ability. We've been at war for over a decade and many of the guys have done multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. As for the F-15 guys, just explain to them that the only person that cares what they did before they walked through the door at XYZ airline is their mother. (although I do have a bias towards fighter guys as most think big picture) |
