He stayed in the USAAF/USAF as a bomber pilot, became a test pilot (B-57, XB-70), retired as a Colonel, came to Dryden as a research test pilot (XB-70, NB-52B, 747 SCA, YF-12), retired from Dryden, flew a little longer as a private test pilot, and finally retired. Never dropped a bomb in anger while he was in the military. Mary Sounds like a good way to do it. Ready to drop ordnance and the enemy knew it ... so he never had to. In the meantime he got to have a lot of fun! We should all be so lucky. Unfortunately, Saddam and other tinpot dictators are seldom as intelligent as the Soviet leadership was when it comes to backing away from the brink. So now and then we have to really do what we're trained to do. ___ Walter Luffman Medina, TN USA Amateur curmudgeon, equal-opportunity annoyer |
