Was that one or three M-2s in the main cargo door?

The pilot must have been giving it full right rudder when they cut loose! I fired Ma Deuce just over a year ago and it’s still awesome.

BTW, thanks for the update; so PPM was protesting our fighting communism near our own doorstep, along with Red Ed Asner, long after Vietnam. They just got demoted to creep status in my book.

They were the children of the red-inspired Weavers of the 1940s — the living definition of kitsch — a mockery of real folk music, which they copied and made bland.

The Weavers were kitsch?

very, very kitsch. I like folk music and I like nightclub/cabaret music, but folk music watered down to be in a cabert is ipso facto kitsch.

Remember the Air Commando version of the song.
“And Ho Chi Minh would lower his flag when Puff roared out his name”

"...socialist paradise USSA just wasn’t going to happen."

You're kidding, right?
