    A big salute to our vets.

  • #2
    Don't salute me please.

    I owe the American public for an all expense paid four year vacation they provided to me. The GI bill after that.

    I am a thanker, not a thankee.

    There are veterans and then there are veterans. I am not worthy of shining the shoes of those that actually went into combat. Even if for a lost and useless cause (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc..)

    Unless one knows history, one is apt to repeat its mistakes. Alas, we have learned little.

            I thank all people who have spend time in the service...they gave us and keep giving us the freedom we have and take for granted.

            Harrier is very loud..the Concord I think maybe even louder. That thing woke me up more times..

              My boy loved the harrier, he got to test them inside the hanger chained to the floor. I was glad he was in air wing.

                I always felt the F4 Phantom to be loud. Would have loved to see the Hustler fly. 4 of the same engines as the F4.

                  Is the Hustler really a plane?

                    The F4 was terribly loud. Might be why i don't hear so well. Tried many times to get a back seat ride. Never could. Damn NFO seat.

                      B58 Hustler. Google it. Really sleek looking plane. Not too effective though.

                        I too thank the US taxpayers that funded 3 yrs of electronics school in the USN. I made almost 6 yrs before being medically retired.
