Lemme let YOU in on a little secret, Dud. Like I told ya' before the
REAL military aviators I've drank with would just as soon kick your
*phony* ass as get up in the morning.

Well , all I can say to this is that I'm certainly glad these "military
aviators" you're talking about aren't among the hundreds of Air Force, Navy,
Marine, and Civilian Test Pilots I deal with all year long. But then again,
no one, not even you, can expect to be liked and respected by
everyone...........can they Mike? :-)))
I'll just have to settle for what little "respect" I've managed to conger up
for myself through the years if it's ok with you.
