Bob, The key symptom of knowing your too old is not knowing when people are joking. No member of the armed services would ever seriously disparage another member, let alone an entire service branch. You should watch the end of the Army Navy football game. Both core of cadets get together at the end and sing both of their academy songs together. It doesn’t make a difference who wins in the end because WE know we are on the same team.

Also, I had the honor of being in an Air Force squadron for 4 years on exchange from the Navy. During that time I was able to fly most of their models of aircraft in service at the time. An Air Force pilot was also doing the job I would have had in the Navy. That program is still going on today. This way we find out how our sister service attack problems differently. It makes both services better.

Have a Happy New Year,

Rich, settle down and relax, you seem to be having problems with proper diction. You are absolutely correct, I am getting a bit old, feel pretty good these days and still don't need Viagra, what a blessing! My reply must have really sent you over the edge, your explanation kind of cleared up things. Please don't be throwing darts at the Army guys, my nephew is a Lt. Col special forces, he liked the Air Force A-10 while in Afghanistan.
Eileen and I would certainly like to invite you down to our place for the New Year dinner, we wont be using our wheel chairs and walkers. I will let you stroll through the old scrapbook of flying gliders 45 years ago. Enjoy the holiday young man. Bob

I know I have heard Navy pilots describe Air Force pilots as "squat to pee, flare to land". Define disparage?
All in good fun.Â* We AF pilots know that the Naval Aviators have to
compensate for certain, shall we say, short comings. :-D

Rich mean no harm, he is just a bit confused, I will close this out by saying my best friend resides in Arlington National Cemetery, Frank Bacque was a great friend and wonderful pilot, we flew gliders together back in the old days in Miami, yes we were both old! Frank, "Smokey" Bacque was an Air Force pilot that flew the OV-10 as an FAC. He once told me a story about an exchange program that they had with the Navy where their pilots exchanged seats. Smokey flew back seat in the F4 and the Navy guy flew back seat in the OV-10. Smokey always laughed about the Navy guys hatred for getting down low, god rest his soul.

Back to the issue at hand, Seminole's owner, Mihai Tanjala, was extradited back to Romania in 2016 to serve the 5 year sentence he received for duping investors in a construction company. That means he should be in jail right now, and it will be real interesting if he shows up at Seminole in March. He used the proceeds of his criminal activity to buy Seminole. This means his victims have a right to any proceeds from its sale. No wonder it hasn't sold. Rich, point me some news article that indicates that Tanjala has been exonerated - I couldn't find any.

Oh you are such an expert on Eastern Block countries? Before you judge someone on a public forum let me tell you a bit about the real world. In Eastern Block countries, (hopefully Ukraine is changing) the mafia is the government. If you are in a governmental position, your duty to family and self is to steal as much as you can. For instance, if you are Mayor of a town and there is a Resturant that is cash flowing, that owner will be given the "opportunity" to sell at a below market price to the powers that be. If you fail to sell your utilities keep getting shut off at peak business hours and there is a special tax on that business so now the price to sell is even lower. When the next party comes to power you had better have moved all the assets you have out of the country. Corruption is considered normal way of life in these cultures and will take generations to change. So all you assholes that sit behind your computer and try to throw shade on a legally operated soaring glider port, what are you really trying to do? Is your life so pathetic that you feel the need to judge another from a culture, you have no idea how it operates. Just be thankful here in the US for the most part we do have a rule of law. I have never been soaring in Florida, perhaps someday. But I am glad someone purchased and operates Seminole as a glider port, that is really all that is germane here. Do you perform title searches on all the airport you fly from?

Your lecture on Corruption is Standard Operating Procedure is totally meaningless. Tanjala was convicted in Romania, sentenced to 5 years and should be in jail RIGHT NOW. Furthermore, his assets are subject to forfeiture. If you have any more info on that, PLEASE post it. Otherwise keep your moralizing to yourself.
