“I’ve heard fighter pilots brag they can make anyone (even cargo and passenger pilots) barf in the back seat.”

Not true. I was a WSO, so I know something about it.

“I feel safer knowing that our Air Force Secretary is named Debbie.”

Let us not go full snark on Lil’ Debbie. She can’t help being named after a cupcaky industrial bakery product.

Snide remarks based on the Sec. of the AirForce being an intellectual “Twinkie” are also uncalled for.

Dual chromosomal Flag Officers tend to display known, predictable, behaviors.

B-29 is a helluva bird...I just think the Mitchell Bomber is sexier.

C-17, C-5, C-47, C-130J.

Ridding ourselves of Camelslobber has to begin here....

I don’t know what either the Blue Angels OR Thunderbirds fly. I was responding to the comment that the Fox folks who flew in military jets didn’t get sick; they weren’t in jets doing aerobatics, which explains why this AF Sec got sick and the Fox folks didn’t.

Well, I know what the Blue Angels fly.

I know because I live near Miramar .. which just happens to be a Marine Air Base.

And .. in October, during Fleet Week, the Blue Angels will fly right over my house with a roar that will almost knock you off your feet. They fly so low because they are doing a sweep toward the Military housing just a few blocks from me; all the kids stand outside their homes as the team salutes them with a fly over.

I love it.
