Coolest Self-Portrait

[FLY_USMC]

I'm not scared to say I liked Iron Eagle......for christ's sake I was only like 6 or 7 when it came out? I do remember one of my buddies seeing the 2nd one when I was in the 4th grade, and when a 4th grader tells you something sucks, it must REALLY suck

As for the "Eye on LA" video, yeah, the host was a toolbag, but to this day I think it was still a pretty cool show. I could easily convert it to DVD, and then convert it to an mpeg........but the quality would be far from stellar I'd imagine.

OK then, you're excused, but as you get into the real deal, you'll realize how hokey that movie is in almost every scene.

I get winged in like a month, and I will be honest, and say the wife got Net Flix about 3 months ago, and Iron Eagle was put into the que

<---Me and Doug Masters go WAY back!

You mean you guys don't listen to Queen when your flying? I'm, shocked.


I was all of 12 or 13 when Iron Eagle came out & could have cared less how realistic/cheesy it was. At that age you could have put air to air combat footage into the movie Beaches and I would have watched it.

You are exactly correct about that being Chunx in the last pic.

Of course not ... silly Army ... "we" listened to CCR and "Fortunate Son" ...

You are exactly correct about that being Chunx in the last pic. Here's his most recent "self portrait" from his curent IA stint in the desert:

He was in 211 or 24 IIRC, when I was down the hall in 114.

Also said IAXXXX on the mask...a big giveaway, as I know he's going to be the next Ted Carlson. He does shoot some good pics.

Cheers,

I cannot hear a CCR song and not think of a bunch of Grunts riding over thick jungle in a Huey with the Doors open. There are two kinds of Vietnam movies, those with CCR songs in them and those that didnt get green lit and never got filmed.

Note: I deleted the last two posts ... let's not put up pix of fellows without THEIR approval ... make sense???

No harm, no foul ...

Green River too, no? That's definitely been in more than a few movies. and "Run Through the Jungle".

For Marine Air it was "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place."

Finally getting off my ass...

Here's my favorite photo - from the world's best rotary wing aircraft on the embassy pad in Monrovia, Liberia.

Don't the good pilots usually sit in the right seat?

Ouch...

Yup. Sad to say, I was the worse of the two of us

Actually, it's HAC's discretion where he wants to sit, and truth be told - I was still a 2P when that picture was taken. HAC wanted to sit right seat, I sat left...
