It's bad enough that little old ladies from Pasadena mistake the AF uniform for the USPS blues, or the local transitco bus drivers, and are all the time asking pilots what time is the bus to Glendale, or how long does it take to get a package to Cucamonga.
It just ain't right that a red-blooded American fly-guy should motor around in this funky minivan-plane at 400knts, shooting at stuff on the ground. We signed up for the wild blue yonder, not the tame muddy under, capeesh?
BTW, when the A-10 wheels are up, you can still see them. That ain't right. I guess knocking off the enemy is probably some kind of a worthy objective, but so is protecting our image, dammit! We're going to the big prom in the sky and we'll take the CADILLAC, not the 63 VW Bug, OK? ok?
If it weren't for the 1948 Treaty of Key West, I'd give the damn beast to the Army, since after all, it looks like a truck anyway. And I have no objective to letting some of those Air NG Guard goobers fly it. Hell, about 400knts is as fast as they should be allowed to go under any circumstances.
Just get it off my runway, OK? We are AF fighter jocks and Strategic Nuclear Bomber killers! Need help on the ground? Dial 9-MARINE AIR.
Lol, one of your more inspired contributions...
>>> Need help on the ground? Dial 9-MARINE AIR. <<<
Since the MARINES tend to get the short end of the stick in regards to funding; That should read: “Dial 1-900-MARINEAir”. Operators are standing by.
LOL, JUMPIN JESUS THAT’S THE BEST POST I’VE READ IN YEARS!!!
First Sentence: “Listen Fred, you just DON’T unnnerstan the AF!”
Well Son, You got that right!! Never did, Never will!!
Flew in [NAVY] Willy Victors. EC121s.
LOL, WTF do you know about them? Not a challenge, just an “Old Guy” thing.
Have a happy! We’ll go round this again.
Good Day!
