Thanks for the compliment on the future aircraft/propulsion thingy.
You may have posted me on the pilot thing by mistake..the only real flying I ever did was the inhale route....other than seatsale.
Have some Family in the Airforce currently...Gunnrunner2 has bumped into Mike at the Pentagon...Mike flew A-10's in the past..then Vipers out of Osan S.K.
He's currently assigned to the Joint Chiefs.
J.J. is with the 48th FW out of Lakenheath...F-15E's..Northern and Southern watch..plus recent Iraq ops.
Part of the reason for hooking up at FR....good medium to follow U.S. Military and connect with Veterans.
My wife's first cousin is an A-10 pilot. The guy is a huge Bush supporter. Best picture I have is of his A-10 in front of an Iraqi hanger which is blown up. All of his fellow pilots and support staff are around the plane. Makes you real proud!
