Who are the better pilots?

[stonewall]

All in good fun!

Good fun is a 4vX Red Flag, bouncing a strike package rounding Worthington, or drinking with the guys after a night tanker. Man I miss those days. Now it's the 6 hour Caracas boredom express at 25 degrees of bank and 1.3 G max. When a crossing AC passes below me, I always feel this urge to slice to his 6 and nail him with a heater. Then I wake up and realize that my chicken is geting cold.

On the other hand: I too easily forget days of MOPP gear during condition black and watching guys pass out from the heat, or watching .mil pilots who couldn't fly out of a wet paper bag get the promotions and the squadron commands because they were political, a$$ kissing experts. There's good and bad on both sides of the fence, and in all of the services. But the rewards were awesome.

...at bitching about how they coulda flown military, but had a better offer.

Have you flown with the guy who use to be a high school quarterback and couldn't quit talking about how great it was and how much he kicked as* .? All in good fun. Sorry I couldn't help it.

Yeah...I did...He was a civilian pilot! Sorry, I couln't help it either.

 

[Rook]

Don't remind me. All my pilot training bros are on their way to the CAF to go do the mission, and I'm stuck in AETC. It's enough to drive a man to drink.

Yeah but you get to drink at Toby's and explain the meaning of 'Trim' check to MSU hotties.

MSU hotties?? I think I met both of them back in '96.

 

[stonewall]

Oddly enough, they were both named "Misty." They still there?

 

[Rook]

Yeah man. The first Misty is still serving up Moons over my hammy at Denny's...and the second Misty is still running the soft serve at Golden Corral. I'll tell 'em you said what's up next time I'm in town.

Ha, I spent many a night in Tobys, and pursued my share of MSU women. But then I was an MSU student.

But then I remember also the O'club at the time was full of high school age nato mattresses from Burkburnett.

Any of you ever meet a girl I knew there that had a tattoo of a helmet and oxygen mask on her ankle? She eventually married a pilot, but I feel sorry for the guy. Then another girl I knew seemed to have gotten a rather bad case of some social diseases, surprised the 80th didnt have to shut down for medical reasons.
