You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

You are completely right.

I am really impressed with the knowledge the AH crowd shows again and again :D



I honestly doubt that there is any plane out there that no one of the AH customer base wont recoginice (sp?) :)
