Chris Mark: The entry says, in part, "An aviator, esp. a glamorous,
heroic or daring aviator".

Correct term nowadays is "flyperson" therefore the entry should
read; "glamorous, heroic or daring aviator from a BYGONE ERA
(see: 21st century smart bombs, unmanned combat air vehicles,
Lieutenant Sallys in their maternity uniforms, etc.)

Aw shucks. Tweren't nuthin'. (shy grin)

Exactly right. Compared to pilots (esp. fighter pilots) "tweren't
nuthin" glamorous, heroic or daring about navigators and
bombardiers. If anything, sitting out there totally exposed like
a goldfish in a bowl in the plexiglas nosecone of a lumbering
old bomber without being allowed to touch the controls is an
*uneviable* position.

I say props Gordo.......let's talk PROPS!!! :-)

Gord Beaman:
I would if you knew enough to be a challenge for me dude...

Pardon me for interupting in this incredibly childish ****ing contest
between you two, but valley girl slang went out in the early 80's and
the subject is "flyboys," not props. :-)

See new thread. Hopefully It's been reclaimed.
