SEMPER FI Vincent! What did you get to fly in the beloved Marine Corps?
Patrick student SP aircraft structural mech "vincent p. norris" wrote in message ... If you are looking for some documented proof that the movie ignited an armed forces aviation craze, you won't get it from me. No, I don't care; I was just responding to a post on the topic. Timing makes a difference in your chance of getting flight training. The Air Force shut down Air Cadet recruiting near the end of WW II, just two weeks before my 17th birthday. I was bitterly disappointed. A couple years later, the Marine Corps offered a chance to go to flight training and I grabbed it. Lucky break, actually; I learned to land on a carrier, which I wouldn't have in the Air Force. vince norris
