And away from anything that says 'launch' on it, wouldn't you agree? I think most of the guys who're flying don't have that problem since they're largely the creme de la creme of what we have to offer and are flying machines that we've each paid a dollar or two to get into the air. You guys, even, are part of the program, so why do you denigrate it? --- >> > Then its a really good thing that you aren't in the Air Force. >> >> You would never get me to sign up for such duty.

In fact, I was legally blind in one eye when I was drafted, in the '70s. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A.
