Interesting! In 2005, when I was contemplating "blue to green" to go fly in the Army, I did not have an Associates degree and was still eligible.

Shit if I'd have done that, I'd still be in... lol.

and as far as favorite squadron...HANDS DOWN the 1st avg during wwII aka "THE FLYING TIGERS" they were basically volunteers (arguably mercenaries) that came from US NAVY,AIR FORCE,MARINES...they flew the reknown p40's with their trademark tiger teeth. they flew for china but repped the US lol and were eventually absored and changed into a couple US units. and i think its the 23rd fighter group are the direct descendants and the ONLY unit authorized to sport nose art/ESPECIALLY the flying tiger tiger teeth art. and the rad part is like 80% of them were all ace pilots...not too mention they had one of the raddest pilots ever...double ace david "tex" hill...look them up and their history if your a squadron buff brian, you will def be impressed.

GOOD post. I enjoyed this.
I think EUGENE should come in here and hang out for a while.

Also, went to Edwards AFB show last weekend.
So good.
Nellis is coming up next month. Might make the trip out there....

Beautiful B-17 at the show

Did some passes with a B-25, P-51, and P-38! cool.

Mmmm Skunk Works. Love it. What shit are you working on now???

Cuz you know.... the Blackbird is ONLY around 50 years old.

and finally, one of the coolest bombers I can think of

B-1B. This one's art said "No antidote" and had a snake on it. Neat.

*Brian* · 10-20-2009, 09:31 PM

B-17, here you go.

There was a P-40 at Edwards too

A31CEFIRO · 10-20-2009, 10:35 PM

here is what 400 looked like when i was there. We had a guy airbrush the eagle head and they clear coated over it. Only F-18 i've ever heard of with clear coat. The command got in trouble later for that one then they changed it to the SUPER CHICKEN that you showed above lol.

A&M Boy · 11-02-2009, 12:08 AM

just came back from the Wings over Houston airshow.

for whatever reason i just think this plane looks right, not polished out, just a workhorse

where the magic happens

*Brian* · 11-05-2009, 11:38 AM

SPOOKY was at Edwards too.
