SHB, I guess my black flight suit will be my spec-op flight suit. I really wanted a tiger stripe one, but I have yet to find one in Big Boy size.

Yeti we had a the Bronco's at Ubon when I was stationed there. An O2 would come in there now and again. I don't think any were assigned there. That was many years ago now. Watching the military channel yesterday got to see some of the Wolf Pack the 8th TFW, from them days. I was just a kid out of high school then.

More years than I thought I'd survive. I'd known I was going to live this long I'd took better care of myself. ;D  

'bout a year ago I got in one of those trip down memory lane moods. Found a link to my squadron over there.  Military Channel can get addicting sometimes they show a lot Viet Nam era stuff. You guys here talking old birds many I have been around in the military and older ones at the Air Shows. Yes it's been many years now.  I see young people returning form the Military on a daily basis, many of my fellow employees are either active duty or vets. They are just babies just like I was when I returned. thought I knew everything back then. Didn't know squat..Still don't and at this age doubt if I can be taught. I am having a helluva a good time being a dumb ass though.

An old neighbor of mine got shot down over either Laos or Cambodia.  Said they all had to sign a waver before the mission.  Guess it took awhile for anyone to come get him out.

Normal less than an hour, on less it was a hot zone.  That was part of the duties of the O2 and OV10 other light aircraft

His biggest fear while he was hiding was that command woud send an airstrike to get rid of the chopper.  He got rescued by a patrol and back to the right side of the boarder.

Yes, that would happen to most spectators on the racecourse. Alot of us locals park along the road or can watch from thier own porches (my sister's place), I am seperated by a mountain range but within a few miles....I have the best view for the Balloon races. Still cool to see all the "air candy" pass above

Honorary Life Member of the Pungo Posse. Badge #1. An honor bestowed by the posse. Couldn't be more proud or humbled.

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.

We will have small air show over Labor Day weekend in Lancaster, Tx. I'll be over there on Sat., It starts about 10 am and lasts till after 4 pm. We will have a vintage car show also. I don't know how many Warbirds will be there. I hope it isn't too hot.

I fell in love with the Broncos when I was in 'Nam.

Wouldn't it be great to own one and use it to fly to your high school reunion...and other places?  Talk about one-upmanship.   ;D
People like me are the reason people like you have the right to bitch about people like me.
