Just Taking It Easy

 


Some years ago, many years ago now, a friend in Windsor Ontario, he was an architect, said to me, "All these boys don't want to fight, they join the Army to get school and benefits and all of that." As in they didn't want to actually fight anybody. Error. But whatev, I still like this classic and maybe you do too, treetop flyer:



Rock On,

LSP


PS. Respect to the unit.

Hugh Mills, the real deal, shot down sixteen times, fifteen in a Hughes OH-6.

There's a seven hour interview with LTC Mills on yoot toob that is FASCINATING.

There is a film of a U.S. fighter attack on a German airfield, in which an attacking plane has to pull up to fly over a parked plane. Remarkably, this event was filmed by another fighter.

I've always liked that video, NFO.

LSP said...

Will watch, Wild, thx.

Ritchie, whoa...

Fighting and killing is in our nature. Discipline provides restraint and focus.

I can't add to that, LL.
