Good stuff.


I'm not pleased that you stole my picture of 6 naked chicks playing twister. You didn't even give me credit for it....

Expect to be contacted by my lawyer

Nice web site. Can I send photos of IAF from the 60s-70s to you guys for posting?


My wife's father retired in 2001 after 30 years from the IAF. He's got boxes full of photos of military aircraft / operations.

From the NOTB page... "Son, never ask a man if he is a fighter pilot. If he is, he'll let you know.
If he isn't, you'll only embarrass him.
Author Unknown"

I think that quote is attributed to The Great Santini. That's a required movie for all Marine fighter pilots. And no, my wife didn't think it was funny when I mimicked coming home and announcing in my best manly voice "stand by for a fighter pilot" as I walked through the door.

I don't know if he coined the phrase but that quote is an old Will Rogers quote except he said that about being from Texas. Incidentally, he was from Oklahoma.

Also quite incidentally he was making fun of Texans... An age old Oklahoman tradition

Definitely some of the greatest quotes of all time came from old Will. Funny thing is, his musings on politics stand true even today.

John Boyd should be considered for mention on the web site. Certainly no Gen. Olds but he did live by his rules all the time...

Cool site,

Thanks for the info JollyF15.

I know Lester, the USN guy listed as one of the four founding members-- great dude! Hope the site does well.
