Similarly there were a lot of guys in both cockpits who hadn't figured

you find your way quite nicely from coast out to Sardinia, to Sicily,
to Crete, to Cyprus--all distinct island outlines.


Yeah, the good ol' days. I sure miss it!!!


Great ! This must be volume three, subsequent to the 'Polyester Party
Suits' volume. I particularly look forward to the sections on the
culinary topography of the Med, plus the accompanying appendices "A
Fighter Pilot's Guide to Fine Chow" and "Radar Signatures of Michelin
Three-Star Restaurants".


And don't ever forget: "No flying over the Nudist Colony 15.213 nm,
151 deg. Magnetic."


At .8 mach in his F-4, Ed wouldn't have much time to enjoy the sights
anyway. Down here, we've got nudist colonies galore and flying over
the babes to check out their, uh, tan lines, in my trike is pretty
much routine.
