Like FC, I can't count the ones I have, mor that I have read over the years. But there is one that stands out among all the others, with the writer and his story being in a class unto themselves. "Samurai" by Saburo Sakai

Hard not to start laughing...

Good Evening Ladies and Gents, This is my 1 and only Public Service announcement EVER. If you think you need to see a doctor: do so. If you think you might have a problem: go see a doctor. If you are scared of what they might tell you, go anyway. And if for no other reason than you haven't been in awhile: go see a doctor. I turned 50 recently, and went for the full battery of tests. I had not 1 single symptom. One test turned up Prostate Cancer. It was only due to the very sharp eyes and thoroughly suspicious nature of my doctor, that he even asked for a second battery of test. I got the news 1 week before last Christmas, and it caused total vapor lock. After every test know to medicine, and some very NEW ones, it was determined to be early, localized, and could be removed with surgery. I went under the knife last week, and I'm home now. From all appearances, it's a clean sweep, and I just have to survive the enforced idleness. I was lucky, it appears. But talking with the doctor, it was heartbreaking to hear him tell me how many people will wait on checkups, ignore symptoms, and generally wait until it's too late. If you think you feel fine, go the extra step and BE SURE. It was worth the looks on my wife and daughters face when he told them I was going to be okay, just very sore for awhile. So Guys, go get checked. 45 years and up, especially as we are the most susceptible. Just 1 test could save your life. It did mine.

Anyone need a good sound card? I have an extra Soundblaster X-FI from of a system I'm taking down that is free to a good home. Pay 4 the shipping, it's all yours.

I absolutely HATE taking bombs home, or having to dump them on the route back. Sooooooooo, coming back from a deep strike in my Polish F-16, I zipped over this runway, saw some nice targets, and just HAD to go back..... By the same token,it's great when Fuel Trucks go BOOM!!! Shoulda' brought my marshmallows......

Once more, we go out to hunt SAMS.............This time over Cuban territory My partner.................. These guys became a nuisance...........

I KNOW this will piss off a bunch of Couch Rambos, but this is just hilarious!!!

My 2 cents... Dogfighting is when you turn and shoot some overconfident sucker in the face on an attack mission. It's usually (for me) a short, close range gun or IRM missile engagement at low level with no margin of error. The strike completion is what I came for. However, I try and never lose sight of the bad guys in the area, and always have my guns hot in case a quick shot presents itself. BUT, I do like stalking enemies on CAP and Sweep missions. For that, I prefer the shot from dead astern after sneaking in close, or the L/R shot out of their engagement range. My favorite is floating up from underneath the blind spot dead astern, and using IR missiles for total surprise. Head on gun passes (as stated earlier)I have found are safest for bombers, and almost ALWAYS suicidal against F-15's. While a various mix of tried and true tactics work, the guy handling the stick's innovation can make the difference.
