"You can't make this shit up..."
Finally getting around to throwing some pics up here. These are from the Thunder Over Michigan airshow from July. The gentleman pictured with the Corsair is a Naval Aviator who flew Hellcats and Corsairs during WW2. He was holding a picture of himself next to a Hellcat.

Not all military, but it's an awesome video-
this kid is probably the grandson of the german on the prop.
The CFM-56 is world renown for its comfort.

I remember those days, being able to sleep anywhere. I could sleep on a pallet of 82's, Phoenix crates were the best and of course the intake of an F-14 was very comfy! In P-3's of course there was plenty of good sleeping with the bunks in back. There was this one time we're coming back from a TORPEX at Whidbey and a buddy of mine wakes me up holding a parachute. He's yelling at me that we lost 3 of 4 engines and the A/C CDR. gave the order to ditch. I was hang'n big time and strapped myself in that chute in record time. No sooner I look fwd. towards the cockpit and everyone is laughing at me! Was I pissed. Now, the dog barks and I can't fall back to sleep!
