    That's a damned expensive target!

    We had a squadron of those here locally years ago. I called them "smokers" loved to see them scream off dumping all that black exhaust out the back.

    That was Robin Olds' only worry about Operation Bolo...He thought the smoke might have given away his ruse to the NViets...But it all went off as planned, and half of the entire North Vietnamese Mig-21 inventory when down in flames in one day......Ben

    Sadly these days the closest I can get to that kind of kick is when somebody lays down on a Cummins and blacks out everybody behind them.

    My previous one could do that (RIP), but my current Cummins is smoke-free......Ben
