bet that leaves a mark

Big grease spot.  Pilot and gunner were okay luckily.  Of all the hair poop I've seen, only a few times have fatalities resulted.

Perhaps someone can explain this to me......

Why is the F111 designated as fighter?

I would think it more proper to be classified as B, or at least A.

The Phoenix Missile system was create for use with the F111 but later used with the F14.

I would think on the deck, as well as in one's skives.

Thor,



What is all the stuff around that little tiny runway?  =D

One of the longest flights I ever made was from NADC Warminster, PA to NAS Bruinswick, ME to get some simulator time. We went up in our CH53A, while time wise it may not have been the longest, it sure seemed like it.  =|   The only other times I got into a helo was every 4 years when I was hoisted out of the ocean during DWEST.
