Which brings me back to the topic of the ALLEGED catastrophic failure
of F-4 ECM pods in combat over Vietnam. Had such incidents actually
occurred, rest assurred that the facts as to precisely WHY the pods
ripped away from the airplane would be widely known by the thousands
of dedicated professionals in the F-4 community whom were intimately
involved with flying and fixing the multi-million dollar jet.

Actually, in the field, the pilots wouldn't have any reason to know
this. The people who would be expected to deal with it are the
flightline troops.

Just wondering, since you were such a rip snortin' air force mechanic
and seem to have such great interest and knowledge in aviation, do
you have an A&P or any other FAA certificates?

We couldn't even get most of them to learn how to use the stuff that was
installed in the planes every single day.

Laughable!

Got any more school boy fibs?
