earl we are dweebs but you are an actual living member of a very select few that served in one of these legendary planes that we like to play around in in this cartoon land. I think I can speak for most everyone in saying its a pleasure hearing your stories and insights.
Earl, I'm very glad that you are around here.I'm sorry about your wife and your recent health issues. For bladder cancer, if the docs think that they got it all, that is very good. I wouldn't think it would matter at all whether you have 1 or 2 kidneys with regard to chances of recurrence. Have they put you on chemotherapy after surgery?
It has always been a pleasure to fly with you and the Devil Dogs. Even when the mission doesn't work out, it is fun to fly the missions with everyone.
