Just for the record, Jack, during WWII, the 8th Air Force
sustained
more
casualties over Europe than the entire United States Marine
Corps
did
world-wide
throughout the entire war. If you don't believe me, just ask
Google
the
right
questions and they'll provide the same answer that I just
did....I
know
because
I've already done it.

That's just the 8th. Then add the 9th and the 15th and all the
air
forces
in
the Pacific and you have a total that makes air duty the most
hazardous
in
the
history of of warfare. Wanna live? Join anything but the Air
Forces..
Or
fly
B-52's over Iraq. Or do what Bush did. which was nothing.


You mean, 'which was fly a dangerous, difficult, occasionally
explosive,
1950's vintage supersonic interceptor for 3 years.'


Piece of cake compared ot a B-26 Marauder. Check rhe records. And
what
did you
fly?


I wasn't even alive until 1977.

And as far as I know, nobody was flying B26's during the Vietnam era.
So
try
to compare apples to apples. At the time, the F102 was a far more
perilous
aircraft than many of the others flying at the time.


How the hell would you know?


So nobody is able to know anything until the point of their actual birth?
Kind of defeats the purpose of history books, no?

I know because I've looked into it, the same way I know that there are
pyramids in Egypt.



A very distant and impersonal route to knowledge.

But almost always the only one available. Did you personally fly every
aircraft of the Vietnam era in order to make comparisons regarding their
flight characteristics? No, probably not. Just being alive at the time does
not give you an automatic knowledge of such things, and likewise, not having
been born yet does not necessarially mean that you don't know anything about
the subject either.

But that doesn't mean it's worth a damn.

Art knows nothing of Vietnam era aircraft. Art has learned nothing of
military aviation since the day he left the USAAF.
