still quieter than a TU-95.

These are usually part of a long distance navigation exercise. Take off from the other side of the country and arrive right where they are suppose to when they are supposed too. It doesn’t matter if it is Sturgis or Baghdad.

I liked on the approach to the TCU Horn Frog stadium in Fort Worth. They usually get a rumbling B52 for the fly over, but the best one that I ever saw was a B-1 bomber with a F-22 on each wingtip.

This is why I live in Fort Worth. Where the only spray I have to worry about is pepper spray from disgruntled cops.

I remember seeing those fulcrums at the fort worth Alliance air show in 92 or 93.

I was just thinking the same thing.

There, there. I don’t like the idea of losing a 777 either.

Can we hire a Malaysia Air Boeing 777 for the move and just hope for the best?

Your right. I thought that the stores on the corsairs were drop tanks but now I realize that they look like CBUs

I think since the A6 had superior navigation systems, it is acting as a navigator for the corsairs. With all of the drop tanks on the pylons it looks like a long flight.

When I was an intern at vought. I was tasked with clearing out 30 or so filing cabinets and I found anoriginal hand drawn cut away drawing of the A -7D/E from 1967 iirc and I took it home and had it framed.

I work for what used to be LTV. I had an old timer tell be about this prank one of the security guards would play on the janitorial staff. he would hid a radio in the intake of one of the A-7s on the line and hide on the mezzanine, where he would wait for one of the Janitors to walk by and then start talking to him…

I’ve seen pictures of some guys in a different shade of green or tan overalls on the flightdeck. but they usually only show up after all of the hard work is done.

I don’t think so the KA-BAR name was adopted in the 1920s so I think that the early 1900's meant 1901-1905. Plus the company only started making knives in 1898.

I recall reading a book about Helo pilots in Vietnam, and the story about WO pilots went that the Army required that you had to be an officer to be a pilot and they feared what thousands of newly minted 2nd Lt Pilots would to the natural order of the army so they made them Warrant Officers instead.

Peak a Boo. I Kill You

I think that is yellow smoke or powder.

you will be required to put this bumper sticker on your car when you get here, State law.

Your opinion of Texas doesn’t matter in the long run. We just won’t include you in the textbooks.

That LAV’S bow gunner seat looks like it might be a bit uncomfortable when that 25mm starts thumping.
