I never miss an opportunity to talk to those Ol' guys when I'm at an airSho.   They've been there, done that, and lived to tell about it. I wish I could have Moose's friend's father that was one of the "Black Sheep". I would have really enjoyed that. He was a friend of Bill Jordan's, they served together in the Marines in WW2.

All I did was name it 'n get it started. The posse made it great. A debt I can never repay. Thank you, mi amigos.

Every now again my dad will forward me somethin one of his Marine Corps League buddies sends him.  This is supposedly a conversation overheard on the channel pilots tune into when flying over iranian airspace.

" Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'

Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'

Air Defense Radar: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'

Aircraft: 'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'

Air Defense Radar: (no response ... total silence)

   

      Got a good laugh outta that one.

We usually have a couple of small grassfires at the AirSho in Midland in Oct. They simulate the bomb explosions with black powder and diesel fuel buried in the ground.
