I do enjoy your posts, gums!
They remind me of something I once read from a pilot who'd been flying in Viet Nam and was getting frustrated with inactivity:
"There I was, laden with Snake and Nape and the goddam grunts couldn't find me no commies to kill!".
Ae all those USAF magazines still published? Some were good, but those featuring the missile silo crews were perhaps less so....
