He also flew in Nam .... I think he was going to relax after sam's and other things that were coming his way....
The last story I heard was nearing the end of his career in the USAF ....Linebacker II? and flying out of UTapao in the 11 day fight.


Could you please share some of these harrowing stories with us?

 :cheers:

I get as much enjoyment out of a glass of iced tea as about any other beverage, unless it is coffee of a morning.  An occasional beer is ok, and a "drink" here and there, but iced tea is great.

I'd like to hear some of your aviation stories.
<S>

  Me too!  Me too!   :x

  Unfortunately, I don't think Southern California is anywhere near you.  So I'll just have to enjoy the stories here.

One beer is OK for you.  Lots of beers . . . probably not.  ;)

:airplane: :banana: :salute What a cool bunch of replies! Everything was looking really good until late yesterday afternoon. I have a neighbor who is about 35 or so, named Betty, prettiest woman you would ever want to be caught with in a closet! I had been having trouble with my bowels moving, so went to drugstore, bought me a "Fleet" enima, sounded like a Navy thing, so couldn't be bad. Went home, read directions and it set bend over and you know the rest of the instructions. I thought, man, if I don't get to the bathroom quick enough, I think I better do this out in the back yard! Me and ole "schooter" stepped out in the back yard, me clad only in a "T" shirt, bent over, ole schooter had cocked head and perked up ears and while I was prepareing to sink this thing in my "6", all bent over and I heard: Mr. T.(what Betty calls me), what in the world are you doing? I replied______________________ ____________________, and I will let you guys decide what I replied! LOL
