busted up badly had he thrown the first punch. He didn't even make a
move, the pretty boy. Being in the Navy means he probably was a queer
too and certainly didn't want to wrinkle his uniform.

You don't get it, do you.
He's a NAVAL AVIATOR, who flew the top of the line navy fighter, and
you . . . don't seem to have flown anything more than a keyboard.
You're a big guy. Big guys load the ordnance on a plane he flies at
Mach 2. Your opinion means about as much to him as that of the guy
yelling **** from the steam grate he sleeps on.

Hey, guys: those of us who fly gliders appreciate the notification about the
P-51 thing. Really.

But now that the discussion has degenerated into puerile name calling and
kindergarten level "I'm tougher than you" posturing, please take it
elsewhere. At least take it off rec.aviation.soaring.

Thanks in advance.
