Well I was around for that time so allow me to comment. In some ways it was better. In other ways it was not as good as today. But there is no doubt, you are wearing rose colored glasses. Likely the same shade lots of guys in my generation wore when looking back on BzB's career. I just don't remember them being bitter like you about what was never theirs to experience let alone to have changed like some sort of used car lot bait and switch.It may be ungentlemanly, but I'm going to put RD in his place when he starts talking about my rose colored glasses concerning a time he wasn't even around for.
Based on the body of your posts on AW, you find everything lame and give the impression you find nothing amusing. So don't worry, no one expects you to say "oh shit that was funny, let me go post it to air warriors."I think the cartoon is lame and I think the second video is even lamer. There is nothing in there that would make me say "oh shit that was funny, let me go post it to air warriors.".
See above. You couldn't find enough humor in anything to think it worth posting. Being mean spirited though you are good at. Either way, knock yourself out. Not like it hasn't been done here before. If you paid attention to the posts in reply you would have found the helo guys and wso dudes have a much healthier attitude than you.Let me start posting videos bashing helo dudes, or the fat kids, or toolbag WSOs and see how that goes over.

For some, the cargo plane is the goal...(not me, I have my eyes set on CNO)...I lost my pilot slot to a NAMI whammy. I like what I got in the end (intel), but I find it amazing that you complain when so many people would kill to be in your (brown) shoes, or even (to quote the film in question) to "fly a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong."
As for Archer........it's a funny F-ing show
As for TOPGUN........I believe there's a quote from PBS's "Carrier" of the XO of VFA-41 telling a JO that if it wasn't for that movie he would be married to a dude (not that there's anything wrong with that).
As for the F-14........well........ANYTIME BABY!
He was ragging on one of the members of the squadron saying "you could have joined the Air Force...but then you would have married another dude."

Agreed, Archer gets pretty funny.
If I remember correctly... Wasn't the marrying a dude comment from the VFA-41 XO? He was ragging on one of the members of the squadron saying "you could have joined the Air Force...but then you would have married another dude." Then another squadron member says "Or you could be wearing a scarf!"

Damn dude, lighten up. Getting shot at isn't all that fun anyhow.
fifySpeak for yourself, I got a month off of work and a bunch of morphine and vicodin when I got shotat.
