    Yep, that was me...On the F-105's, I hung everything except the external fuel tanks on them...When we got the F-4's, I only had to make sure those pointy things went in the right direction, and the big fat things dropped off when the GIB pushed the button......Ben

    It probably shaves a few points off my soul - but there's few things in our world as beautiful as one of our warbirds loaded up for battle.

    Maybe the Army was not the best service for me to join? Nah, our Army now has war planes. Then, there's those Navy guys...

    My hats off to the pilots. Came back with bad knees and a hearing loss. Hoping thing are way better for them in today's service.

    Yeah, some hearing loss on my end too. Being around noisy tanks/artillery took its toll. Good headphones alleviate it - so I don't miss out on music.
