I saw the guy on FNC as well. He also mentioned a very interesting item regarding President Bush's so-called "special treatment". The TANG was actually short of pilots and they were recruting them via local newspapers in Texas.

When I was in college, I was fascinated by the Martin Scorcese movie, Goodfellas and I went to the library to research some of the actual robberies that were shown in the movie using microfiche of local New York newspapers.

During my research, I was fascinated by all of the old advertising.

Unfortunately, I do not have the time go to the library and do research on whether there was actual advertising by TANG for pilots in the early 70's, but perhaps some enterprising Texas Freeper could take a day and do some research. This would put the final nail in the coffin regarding this issue.Just a thought

You are right. This would knock the Ben Barnes story into smithereens by the pajamahadeens

I do remember hearing some discussion about this when I was young. Most adult friends my parents had were Air Force. They were discussing flying for the Texas ANG and I believe the ad ran plenty of times back then in the Air Force Times.
