"No, dem Fokkers vass Messerschmitts."
(Punch line of an old joke < ]B^)
My Dad (Lt. Commander in WWII NAvy and his P51 pilot used to talk the walk in WWII. They used "combat speak" that I never understood. As a child, I always repected my elders who served in combat. When my brother served in 'Nam as an evac pilot, he never discusses his missions, even though I ask him about his decorations. To this day, my brother, Bill does not discuss his missions. He turned his focuss to the private sector, and builds commercial heliports.
