Does anybody else think some recognition is in order?

Don't worry. The gallant flyboy has been strutting his "right stuff" on the news/talk show circuit.

I'd not say "strut."

Guy flew a mission and everyone is curious and you can bet the pilot doesn't want to be there. . .talking about intercepting some pokey C-150. . .sheesh. No challenge at all. Bet the PR folks at DoD pushed his interviews, and I can understand why. People are curious.

"Gallant"? What is with you. . .the guy that was doing his mission. . .I hope you are joking.
