Daedalians . . .
OK, I'm late to the fight, but I left yesterday, and it takes a while in my handsome high performance C-130 Hercules that I used to fly ;-) Just a rhetorical question for all the active duty, reserve, guard, and retired guys, USMC, USN, USAF, USA, and USCG . . . how many of you are Daedalian members?
This group of aviators is dedicated to the memory of those who first flew our nations aircraft in combat (WW I). Respect for each other at Daedalian meetings is immeasurable -- what we have done, and for what we will do. You bring the retired guys who flew/fought in the Big One (WW II), some guys that flew low-level reconnaisance over the Soviet Union in the 50s/60s, Korean War, and Vietnam. Then, throw in the guys from Shield/Storm, Bosnia, and others, plus the guys actively fighting now, and it is just a fantastic time. Yea, there may be one or two who are there to be seen, but . . . the older guys from pre-Shield/Storm have the best stories, and their PC skills are lacking ;-) (And if you should be one of the more mature guys, absolutely no disrespect intended).
Look into it, or if you want more info, PM me.
Cheers
