USAF vs. USN/USMC
Delta! Well let's see. I've had so much fun through the years riding their wake turbulence while 2 dots above the GS on ILS approaches - more times than I can count. One time nearly inverted at 1000 AGL over ALTUR on the ILS26L at the old Stapleton Airport. My past aerobatic training in T-34B's has been very productive when flying behind DAL hardware. Love their attitude also. They're generally so nice and respectful to the former Western Airlines people and other pilots and crews.
I did ride on a `new' Delta 767-400 that was one of the most beautiful aircraft I've flown on. That was several years ago. I wonder if that same 767-400 has aged gracefully?
MAGNUM!, AF buddy. My hat is off, a gracious bow, and snappy salute goes to you guys flying the F-16's and F-15's over there...BUT you know those Navy/Marine FA-18's and F-14's take a hell of a beating out there in the salt spray and getting a `crud crew' corrosion control work over every 56 days.
Semper Fi!
