Nightshade/PR

This is a stellar example of "Reserving The Right To Arm Bears".... Things started out simple enough...intercept some Bears...Duh And then...... (as usually happens)...Ego got involved, and there was wayyyyyyyyyyy too much testosterone (and precious few brains) in my wingman's cockpit We'll send your mama the flowers

What helicopter?

There's just something about the Buccaneer that makes it so.....................sexy. I was lucky enough to see a pair of them racing across the desert in the 1st Gulf War, and I remember thinking they looked like aliens...but man could they move!!!!

Perfect for the times... Times change....

I should have just gone home...but my ego said nooooooooooooooo, you got this.

VF-33 "Starfighters"

Taiwan intercept Circa 1965, and the ROCAF is more curious than anything...so they went light. I don't suppose they'll be of any help if we call...considering there's no one around Given the clearance to proceed as briefed Found some PLAAF Beagles running in low over the coastline, and gave clearance to engage. Naturally, it turned into a free-for-all. Youthful enthusiasm, I swear..... But sometimes, is IS fun to just watch the show
