service jet fighters for the cold war

Well thats plenty. The point of the spear is just a piece of flint without the body. We were ready to thats the point.

I was crew chief on Cobras and Hueys, but in that Cav unit you could get into lots of stuff out in the field and we were out int the field 4 months or more each year.

I rode front seat in the Cobra on maint test flights doing hammerheads and simulated missile runs.

Got some stick time in the Huey, Put Hueys thru performance test flights where you keep climbing till the bleed bands pop at 25,000 ft.

And of course shot thousands of rounds out of M16, door mounted M60's and tripod mount 50 cals.

Closest I ever got to warfare was Red Flag excercises at Nellis. I was on the flightline in the summer with a zillion screaming jet engines all day, and on the Vegas strip all night, so it's kinda a blur. My unit, 1st Tactile Fighters (F-15s) was RDF for the Middle East, but only went over a couple times while I was in. Once for excercises with the Jordanian AF, and once to Sudan when threatened with invasion by Libya.

I worked on radios, jammers and nav.
