I got to handle one of those once before.. what beautiful rifles! I really liked those and the old Sako 75s...and the 1990s vintage Tikkas, not that new plastic one they sell now..

340boy Campfire Ranger Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 21,959 Idaho	Originally Posted by RockyRaab 340boy, my oldest and best friend was an RF-4 IP in the Idaho ANG at Boise. He flew a bunch of combat missions from Thailand, went on to be a T-37 instructor (when I met him) then the RF-4 and finally an Alaska Airlines 737 jockey. He is now retired and lives in Eagle. None of which is of the slightest interest to anyone here. I have 40 hours, mostly solo, in the bastardized AT-33. It was half T-33 trainer (two seats) and half F-80 (guns and rocket/bomb pylons) that I flew out of Cannon AFN, NM. They were used as in-country trainers for guys called up to Korea, and then mothballed until needed to upgrade us Forward Air Controllers who were destined to work with the US Army (an Army requirement). We called it "Instant Fighter Pilot School" because we came out of it with the genudamnwine official rating of "Fighter Pilot." Rocky, I envy you and your friend your experiences in the AF. Also, thank you for your service to this country, sir. "For joy of knowing what may not be known we take the golden road to Samarkand." James Elroy Flecker

Picture was taken today about 12:15 just west of Ocala, Fl. The writing on the side says...... US NAVY Faster we go the behinder we get sometimes. I understand the Navy is doing live bombing practice at Pine Castle Range in Ocala this week. I'd bet that blimp was en route to observe bomb results.

And on the bombing range, the parameters were so tight you really had to be careful not to sling a blue pill off target..

Rock, from what I know about you, you are definitively not one of those poor souls who lead boring, insignificant lives, never tasted fear, victory or defeat and of course like Patton said YOU never " shoveledshit in Louisianna!"

When we're you at Sangley? LagIng Handa! I was there in 1956 and 1957. I was attached to FASRON 119 (Fleet air service squadron). We weren't a flying outfit but pretty much doing repairs on the P5m's. Worked with VP-40 and 42 plus a couple of others. Also with VQ-1, which was a different story. Mabuhay!

Avon Park is considerably larger and inherently less prone to people being around.
