Careful my young friend.........he is Arab, Persians are from Iran:cool:

He maybe now. His older brother was the first Saudi F-15 commander while my guy went to pay dues in the F-5.

Actually a real nice kid, I liked him a lot.

I met his brother while he was going through the F-15 program at Luke, a very impressive gentleman. An "old guy" probably in his late 30s/early 40s........:D

A much kinder, gentler time........as long as you weren't a Soviet;)

Ferd <---------just a walk'en down memory lane

I had a Saudi prince in my class at Air Command & Staff College. LOVED American women and partied like a rock star. Always had the best booze and cigars.:D

So did this guy later. His brother made him keep his nose to the grindstone while he was in country.

I was too much of a boy scout (and we had to stay trans-Arizona due to the controller strike for the cross country), but his T-38 IP got a suite in Vegas when they went to Nellis........a good time, so I was told.:D

The stories I heard were elaborate parties with the entire pool covered in roses. Thats like straight old school NewK right there.

New - did you switch to the 88/90 or did you stay on the 9? Are we going to fly together? Because I'll tell you right now, I'm on track to fly 1 4-day in an entire month which means the takeoff configuration check will be full of surprises!

"Uh, sorry about that, here hold on... okay try it again."

"******, sorry man, one more time."

"Huh? Oh yeah. Who'd thought that was possible? Okay, should we just run the checklist again?"

:D

Poor FTB, so many areas to miss.
