Has anyone ever gone down???

[UnAnswerd]

There's a lot of pilots in here with a lot of hours. I'm just interested in whether or not anyone has ever had to make a forced landing away from an airport, and what it was like...

"US Navy Deep Sea Divers; We go down, the world around."

I wasn't a deep sea diver, but since I was a 17 year old sailor employed in their sevice...I did what the Romans did.

I can't help who I had for role models.

5 times all landings successful didn't put a scratch on anyone or the airplane. All daytime lowest altitude at failure was 200 feet.

Hahahahahaha...I love the "inter-service" rivalry thing! Only those who were there would understand.

I'll never forget the day that I heard on the radio it was the birthday of the Marines and I picked up a 12 pack and headed over to my co-worker's house...promptly disturbing him in the middle of doing laundry to remind him that his Navy buddy was going to wish him, "happy birthday" no matter what his old lady was going to say when she got home!

New Coin Honors Marines
WASHINGTON (AP) May 25, 2005 — The U-S Mint is unveiling a new coin to honor the 230th anniversary of the founding of the Marine Corps.

It's the first time the government has struck a commemorative coin to salute a branch of the military.(bout freaking time!)

The new silver dollar will feature on one side the famous photograph of the flag-raising at Iwo Jima taken by Associated Press Photographer Joe Rosenthal. On the other side will be the official Marine Corps emblem of an eagle, globe and anchor and the Marine motto, "Semper Fidelis" -- always faithful.

Mint Director Henrietta Holsman Fore describes the coin design as "simple and heroic."

Fore and Marine Corps officials are participating in a ceremonial striking of the shiny new dollars today at the Philadelphia branch of the U-S Mint. Proceeds from the sale of the new commemorative coin will go toward building the Marine Corps National Museum in Quantico, Virginia.

Why would you be glad that I have a sense of humor...I'm just some jerk ass that posts here, thanks to the tollerant administrators and the charity of those who laugh at my utterances and put up with my long tooth dissertations about nothing.

Semper Fidelis and happy birthday!
