  1. So 500Stable says he is now a “Dot”…. AMF…
  2. Just Twentysomes having fun returning from Downtown. Get your Load and RTB for more fun with Thai Spinners. Bet Hunter wished he was there back then. LOL
  3. So let me understand this, I was called a Baby Killer, by even friends, during Vietnam. Now, if I’m a present Alphabet person, I can have everyone else pay for my Abortion, Transition, etc. and I can avoid Deploying, let alone Combat Tours. And not be called Baby Killer.
  4. Way before most of you were born, but one of my favorite AI films...... "The Forbin Project" (1970)
  5. Welcome back home FourFans.
  6. That's a "Shack" on FourFans Huggy....
  7. In the meantime....awaiting another WH Presidential Invite now to the little 6yr old girl and her Family shot in broad daylight by a previous convicted individual and not by a 84 yr old senile, scared homeowner at night time. Any bets on when that will occur???
  8. Haha. Yes she is. Former Stewardess (not Flight Attendant) that reminds me of that and her forgone era of being fit and friendly. And, she being of that era, also appreciates the past antics of pilots back then. I caught a great woman. Oops I think I now have say a great One instead. Wait, no I don’t I’n retired!
  9. Aviators, My wife has politely instructed me to apologize to the Forum for posting inappropriate Aircraft Nose Art....so Aviators, accept my Apology for my being a relic of past times.... Check Six
  10. My (General Olds) Air Force. When having gone "Going Downtown" meant something....
  11. Gosh I miss her....she loved Going Downtown.
  12. Getting my new Corvette C8 soon and "Going Downtown".....Wife is actually ok with it....I think she has a Policy on me!
  13. Maybe both: Colonel Bud Day
  14. Just finished "Lessons From The Hanoi Hilton"....had several friends there. One spent spent 7 years, two others only a few. Met many more over my years attending AF POW reunions at the USAF Academy and Randolph AFB. With that said, I would not wanted a night there just to say I had "Been there and done that". Admiral Stockdale (comments from my friends) was outstanding. So I will not personally comment on how each POW accepted their fate. "Embrace The Suck" as life often gives us no other choice.
  15. Actually: "Let No Man Pull You So Low As To Hate Him" MLK Let's not let Him do that to us guys...I don't want to be/become like Him. Had not proof read...sorry
  16. "Let No Man Pull So Low So Low As To Hate Him"
  17. Looking back 50 years ago it was a pretty tumultuous time....the war....race riots...etc...hard being in the Service... In my opinion, pretty devastating to many friends and families... However, We (as a country) will get through this... BUT DON'T let these times destroy our Family & Friends Friendships!! Check Six...back to my beer!
  18. Firstly, I agree on no longer seeing the need to an actual touchdown and rollout. With that said, did many in the F4 and loved the challenge and experience. Later taught them In UPT and also enjoyed it. However, later when in the ANG, my F-101 Squadron, and another state's ANG, both lost two crews doing formation takeoffs within 2 years... made me rethink the need on both doing takeoffs and landings. Good discussion on the merits. Back to my wine....
  19. That's a Shack Huggy...
  20. Getting old isn’t for Sissys (Oh S—t, I’m again not PC). Wife and I had dinner a few nights ago with a good friend, 87, (retired 2 Star GO) that flew everything. FAC’d and Huns in several Tours....Anyway, he’s in great shape but expressed his concern about being in the Death Zone because of his age. Ended the evening toasting to the friends and the fun we had....
  21. HU&W, I come from a different PC (not) Community.....and the Quote, wasn't a Quote, but radio chatter where a statement was being made to the intensity of being/going Downtown and words were something akin to "shut up and die like a Naval aviator". Told the story of this Thud but finally found a pic...
  22. For us oldies (Death Zone Corona Virus Types), might just be like the 1968 DNC Convention in Chicago....
  23. Where did we go from "Shut the F Up and Die Like an Aviator"? And I'm in the Death Zone for my Age!
  24. Never missed after Going Downtown.
