Well It’s in Asia and North Korea is in Asia so, of course! My old friend in Boston once told me that his son was in Key Largo and I should drop inn on him from time to time. I do live in Florida but Key Largo might as well be in Indiana as far as “dropping in” on Key Largo is concerned.

No, just public school. The left made those schools and are stuck with the products.

My son is in training at Ft Rucker to be a chopper pilot. he sent me this instantly with LOL attached. He says helicopters don’t glide very well.

I was stationed on Okie for a year just before Reversion. The locals hated the Japanese students who were making all the noise. Those students were there to attend the Ryukyu University because they couldn’t get into the higher standards Japanese universities (like Grenada’s medical school is for Americans). The locals liked being an American colony and did not want that to change just because they knew that Independence would mean domination by Japan or barely possibly by China but true independence was not in the cards. Japanese look down on Hogan speakers as being like Koreans, a lesser species and acceptable only as maids and cooks. I think Okinawans are a minority in Okinawa now.

Helicopter maintenance is one of the most neglected areas among front line forces.

Parts and Maintenance are not sexy and never get the budget considerations they deserve.

in the ceiling

The overhead. If it had been the deck (floor), it would have been real problems.

Who writes the headlines, and who posts this garbage without a parenthetical correction. The helicopter came down in Okinawa.

The same journalists who think a black-powder musket is an AR-15.
