Yes, I had an image in my head of the rocket passing between the wing and empennage! As for a trail of smoke and vapor....well....

I didn't take that as racist. I guess what you see depends on where you sit. In the late 80s I was enroute to Sigonella, It. I was in the Navy at the time. Got a C-9 from Rome to Catania. After I got on, it kept filling up. One of the last passengers was an older lady with a cage with two chickens. The cage sat on the deck in the aisle. The seats were all taken, so the last passenger was given the jump seat. And, off we went!

This is the problem with any ego. "Don't tell me how to run my business".

To me, it's always been the cockpit. Probably always will be. Too old to change stuff for the sake of change.

We'll see how that works in this next Supreme Court session.

Back in the early '80s aboard an aircraft carrier in the Med, I would see photos of Russian ships lasing aircrew flying patrol a/c. P-3s and such. Don't know what, if anything happened after those events. That was in the Pacific. I was on the other side of the world.

But, you gotta admit, this "vaccine" has the largest number of Clinical trial patients ever!

That's actually quite funny! Your log book would have multiple take offs and zero landings! Thanks for your service. Bill, USN (RET). 22 yrs.
