You mean the "incident" that was already linked in the first post of the thread?

Eh? I think/hope you're the only one "humming" Dos Gringos, but I am sure they appreciate it!

That's because, while I wouldn't fly for the Navy (I don't ever see myself on a damn ship for months at a time), the one thing I do really respect about them is they still have a sliver of the "get it done" attitude that has been generally lost in the USAF. The USAF is all about power point slides on plasmas, nice props on easels, and turning anything into a political production so some people look good. To the USAF, it's about how they look doing it, not whether it gets done. With the Navy, they have facilities that look like shit, airplanes that are ugly and somewhat functioning, but a mindset of "lets get the job done". The Angels have a great show and if I had my choice I'd watch the Blue Angels every time. The snoozer of a show the TBirds put on is really, really boring.

You're entitled to bitterness on the subject. As far as the Tops in Blue are concerned, this is not a budgetary issue; it's an issue of untold embarrassment for the Air Force. I wouldn't be opposed to the AF taking 10 times the amount of funds it costs to run TIB and putting that towards destroying every bit of evidence that TIB ever existed. That would include, but not be limited to, the eradication of human memories. Tax dollars well spent.

Well played! Looking forward to some more stories. And to whomever negatived me, seriously?
