Neh .... then it'd only serve as a reminder to whoever's got their face up close to it (you) and since you can't fly anything other than "yank and banks" (aka Zekes, Nikis, etc.) it wouldn't do ya much good. ;)

Thanks for the quick reply.  Had I not been impatient (deadly trait for a Zeke pilot) I would have waited to post until the Java applet fully downloaded.  Then I would have seen some of the info I was looking for.

Unfortunately, the new schedule change doesn't work for me.  I work evenings with Mondays and Tuesdays off. :(

I will keep looking around, as I am in no hurry.

Besides the Joe Foss quote my favorite is from Saburo Sakai, who in an interview was asked what it was like to fight allied aircraft:

"Fighting allied aircraft in a Zero was like fighting a knight in full armor wearing only a loin cloth and armed with a dagger."

Just goes to show why IJ pilots are of higher caliber!! ;)

No problem, edge.  If you need a wingie or two in the meantime, look us up.  There's usually at least one or two from the 13th airborne on Mondays and Tuesdays.  (Tuesday was a squad night until just recently.)
