I imagine you've seen him use his skills in the F-22 and didn't even realize it.

Nope, that's a brutally bad show in terms of their 'facts'

Some of the film is worth turning down the sound for however :)

I'd be interested if they'd get a new host and pay attention to their editing when they make the episodes. Thats got to be the worst show on the Military Channel. (Would be second if 'Showdown' was still on. That show made me sick.)

I liked the Richard Bong episode of Showdown.

Anybody see the episode they did on the SR71 Blackbird? Least the video  of the plane was good, made it worth watching however the host yapping about his f22 time and some of the jargon they used with the sr pilots would make most ppl scratching their heads. I know alot of the missions are still classified but they never really got into the details about the planes and men who flew them.
I read sled driver (great book) so I know they could have gone into it more without revealing any classified stuff.
One think I didnt know was how many guys had to eject from blackbirds and how many we lost :O
Crap now I gotta redo my cool sig.....crap!!! I cant remeber how to do it all !!!!!

The episode on the 39 was almost torture to watch.  I don't know who writes their stuff, but the footage didn't make up for how poor the show was.

Yuck!

i was falling asleep watching it......heard em say that, and woke right up. figured they'd have something to back what they said...which they didn't.

 on the other hand, i almost made it through the whole show.....and i didn't here maj. dork talk about his f22 once.  :D :noid

I just wrote a email to the producer of the show, its the first time I have ever done this and i dont really expect a response unless its a canned one. Basically
I pointed out their mistakes on the facts especcially <as mentioned above> the out turning a spit.....my wife doesnt understand when I start cussing the tv, she thinks its no big deal  :huh







good thing she can cook!!  :aok
