one of your pilots maybe out of a job. Of course we could always depend on the Germans to get him out in time. Pretty ironic really. Air france bringing Vets over for the cermonies, and snubbing the VA sec - ouch.

How the expression of one French citizen represent the whole French Nation ?

To make a comparaison it would like if I though the US poster of the O'club represent the average US citizen.

I would be stupid.

You are right, but Air France's name will stick out because of him. No different for me, working for the US Govt. here in Europe, Abu Gahrib prison - I've never been there, get my point.

you mean the name? Naw, something I picked up in the service. While part of the cadre at a school in Little Creek. I would call some of the more motivated boots "Studmonkeys" or "Studmonks". I then received the name "Monk" from some of the other instructors.

I get it.
Btw having the technical hability to be a pilote should not been confused with being a member of humanity.

I work daily with some coding genius who have the social life of a oyster.

You are in Normandy, did you go to anywhere today or was it too crowded?

straffo · « **Reply #38 on:** June 06, 2004, 12:22:58 PM »

I didn't go for one reason : I have to childs to youngs (2 and 4) to support a complete day on this area plus they're both a little sick

(some kind of flue nothing to worry about).

Plus I've a lot more occasion to go to the beach area than only the 6.

I don't know if it was crowed or not .

C-Span had great coverage. Parade, Fly-by and Naval Review.

I love C-Span, they just show the pictures and there's no Taking Heads like Jennings or Rather telling you what they think it means..
