Great picture of the incident in Chicago. But even then they were not as close as usual in a Pass In Review. In a tight PIR the missle rails of #2 and #3 are almost touching directly above the canopy of #4. #2 and #3's canopy is almost dirctly under the missle rail of #1. Now that is tight. It is a ...

Very funny. This is a screenshot of the exact time where I earned the callsign, thanks Bon. This happened coming in for the high low hit. I went to put the gear down and popped the canopy. I had my canopy on the joystick. It is not there any longer needless to say. 8) http://i34.photobucket.com/albu...

I am part of the 10% that does not have a cougar. I used an X52 for a while then found it to be really loose for my liking, especially flying in formation. I like the stick for combat flying and just flying around solo, but for tight formation flying i like a tighter spring in the stick. It gives me...

I second that. What an honor it was to be recognized as a team and to spend as much time as we did with #2. What a great learning experience that was. You guys rock!!!! Enjoyed it Boss.

For the very short time that I flew with you as the lead, I would echo what Bon said that you were an outstanding lead. I have learned tons from you and am ready to give you a solid platform when you are flying the stinger position. Best of luck to you in the #5 jet. Enjoyed it boss. Convertible
