Ah....but you had on your Army Issue Olive Drab Green Tee Shirt and underwear issued In those days that were bullet proof....right!
My foot was on that left pedal when the .51 Cal round passed through severing the hydraulic lines and igniting a fluid fueled fire. Another inch and I would be called "Peggie" for the wooden leg the Army would have issued me. Instead I am just plain "Lucky"!
Or so we were told anyways!
Salute!
After a few days I wonder where that "Bald" poster went. Of course his/her/it's profile is not clear, but would be nice to compare notes from the logbook about getting shot at and shot up.
Gums sends....

Bald may get an education about the utility of callsigns by watching these two videos put together by Ward Carroll an ex F-14 RIO of quite some considerable experience including combat
On the other hand Bald might wish to have a conversation with these chaps about their cruisey day in the office, only one aircraft lost.
Surely that is a "collective" Nickname for FJ Drivers!
Apparently (according to the Afterburner Podcast) the F-16 returned to base only to find NONE of his countermeasures had been expended...he dodged all those SAMs on his own!
This thread (and also the "Not so Woke Reds") reminds me of a USAF A-7 deployment (OK ANG from memory) to Wittering in the late 80's. Some chaps who had a visit to the unit were all given Calling cards by the crews, indicating that everyone should beware of heavy drinking and lock away their daughters etc. I can imagine that the first Female aircrew had a lot to put up with.......

The call sign has emerged in a national paper
Frolicking a woman gay for those who'd rather not follow the link.
I propose a call sign for our Minister of Defense - ITRWI
Is this really worth it
