You know I can honestly say that my time in the Air Force was a total buzz. The best time in my life where I did the job for the shear hell of it. (it certainly wasn't the money). You are so right Richard, tell any airman/pilot there aircraft is hot, and it's the quickest way to get a smile. As I right this I glance up to the plaque given to me by my CO when I left the sqaudron to learn business management. I cant say I regret the decision, but I sure do miss those days at times. Even nowadays 18 years after I left, I still get together with mates from 33 Squadron.
(Richard, those nuff nuffs, would certainly get the message if any avgas would have exploded. )
