I'm so happy they are on our side! As we said in the Air Force - "Fly - Fight - Win"

Rich I was in the same hangar with them for a year about a half back in the 60's. Believe me it gets old fast. After a short while you don't even look up when they fly over. I wouldn't exactly say familiarity breeds contempt but it gets to be old hat and boring a lot quicker than you might believe.

I love the sound of them jets and with that speed I'd have a hard time being bored.
