    Thanksgiving redux.... Things I'm not thankful for

    I only have two things that I am more than willing to do without. Politicians and Coronavirus. Thankful for God, Country, Family, necessities for life (house, food, etc.) Everything else is a bonus.

    A-10 Thunderbolt

    Two. The A-10 and the F/A-18. Marines don’t normally fly more than 1 plane, but I got caught in a change of squadrons (Aircraft Wing) and was changed from Miramar to San Diego. There was about a 10 month training period between the 2 airplanes. Not much was the same when it came to the avionics...

    A-10 Thunderbolt

    Do you know anything about the A-10 Warthog? People have seen it on TV and marveled at it during certain conflicts such as Kosovo on different cable channels, but seldom has anyone ever looked up and read what the capabilities were of this fine airplane.

    A-10 Thunderbolt

    The A-10 Warthog is a killing machine. That's its only mission in life. Kill. Kill. Kill. It does it's job very well. Did you know that every A-10 pilot has his own codename? This is how we communicate. No names are given over the radio, only codenames. Same for F-18 pilots.

    If you tacked a map of the world to a wall and threw a dart at it blindfolded and hit the map, chances are I have been there.

    THANKS TO EVERYONE OF YOU

    Sorry for my being late, but thanks to all who served. Too many tears for too many souls who have given their all.

    What are your triggers? The things that set you off the most.

    Fireworks, low flying helicopters and suspicious looking people.

    A-10 Thunderbolt

    Ah yes, the A-10 Warthog. I flew this masterful flying machine for 2 years. It’s an incredible machine of force and dynamics. I only wished that it could have been used for carrier ops.

    Media Madness!

    There is a lot about COVID-19 the public is not aware of, but they will.

    U.S. Air Force C-130J Ghostrider Gunship

    I noticed the short takeoff. These birds are wicked.

    The War In Iraq

    I spent nine days in Iraq during July. Hot isn’t the word I had in mind for the temperatures.
