  1. Eh, not technically a drone...that particular machine (my understanding) is part of the heritage flight down at Tyndall...basically they keep it around for air shows and the like...it was spared the drone fate...just barely...and just to keep it in line and under budget, it gets parked in sight of the target drone force of QF-4E's on the same ramp...now THAT is motivation
  2. I mean...look at this guy...legendary fighter pilot / tactician / warrior / looks cool / married a movie star He looks like a fighter pilot, some one you would gladly follow into harm's way...retired as a Brig. Gen...barely Then we have example "B"...was a "planner" and a "C/JFACC" during the last big show '03...didnt "do" Viet Nam Now USAF Chief of Staff, the highest ranking Airman and the example for the rest of the Airmen... How? I mean, we had choices...look at this guy: http://www.acc.af.mil/news/story_media.asp?id=123070087 Yep...that is an F-4 that he flew his fini-flight in Nov 2007... read his biography...why the powers that be picked Moseley over Keys to lead the USAF will never be understood by me...ever http://www.af.mil/bios/bio.asp?bioID=6051 2x Distinguished Flying Cross and 17x Air Medals *** No wonder the other Services make fun of us...

  6. it is the little things...was debating about swooping in to land, see if they needed help, you know...now that I know it is a tin can full of sweaty dudes, eh, they can take care of it themselves / we're low on fuel / have to go to de-brief...
  7. It doesnt matter how well the ABU works...the USAF makes you wear a damn reflective belt in a combat zone any way...I know I was there...it was mega-dumb...a reflective belt in a combat zone...
