BOMBING'S MY BUSINESS .. and business is GOOD

[Harrier Dude]

Oh. Well they were still cool to me

Anything is cool when you really need CAS!

The distinction between Cs and Es is that Cs are "fighter pilot" toys, and the E has evolved into something useful. Great piece of gear!

Bottom line: Shut the Fuck Up. Any questions??

See the humor in that ... ???

A4, why not just say what the hell you mean, quit beating round the bush.

See how much of a workout your beloved "fighter pilots" are getting in this war? The F-15Cs and Raptors sit idly by while the Attack jets and multi-role guys fight the fight.

Still here? :sleep_125 I recall first hand that Phantoms had one hell of a lot more 500 lb GP's loaded then they did Sidewinders or Sparrows, in fact it was the F8 that was the last "true" Gunfighter of that era.

OK A4sFOREVER I do not mean anything by what I said, my squadron was the senior squadron, and there was a lot of ribbing between the squadrons, our motto was "It's hard to be humble". I worked on both F-4,s and F-14,s for six years. I don't mean any thing, just trying to have some fun and see what kind of reaction I get. So I will close just for you and return your last line to me back to you. Smile it doesn,t hurt really.

I'd hate to hear what Phantom feels about lowly P-3 pukes:icon_tong

 

[FLYTPAY]

Here are some questions, mostly rhetorical.

Who is grumpier?.......well, A4's of course.
Whose heart medication is compatible with Viagra? (trick question)
Who loves seeing old men duke it out with old man strength?

Bottom line: Shut the Fuck Up. Any questions??

"Fighter guys make movies. Attack guys make history."

Don't forget that heavy guys make coffee

The Senior squadron? In my short 8 years in Naval Aviation, I have not seen a senior squadron. "It's hard to be humble"...nice. I had a Skipper that gave some sage advice once, "Don't tell everyone how good you are, let them tell you how good you are by winning all of the awards." And as for trying to have some fun to get a reaction, you pretty much made yourself look like a clown with your first couple of posts. Your new callsign is thus "Bozo", welcome back to Naval Aviation.

I feel bad for enjoying watching the salty guys go at it, especially A4's extremely succinct reply

O.K. .... then situation normal: I'm just nothin' but smiles .... stay safe.

Now ... back to bombin', strafin', and rockets ...

Sorry to stray from the poo flinging, but as to the guy who said LUU-19 is obsolete, your helo brothers disagree. Granted my experience is with illum rockets from an Apache, but the concept is the same. On a dark as an owl's ass night, an IR illum source that wasn't my own search light made my job much, much easier in Afghanistan.

F-4 fighter guys?? Ol' Smokey??? Low levels??? :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

Isn't that kinda like saying "Jumbo Shrimp" ...

An oxymoron, definitely.
