I think you are a day late with that one

Squids shouldn't be flying anyway. [cheeky]
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

You think the Air Force should deploy on the big floating airport and fly those "Projection of power" missions instead?

I think that the "periscope" is a sextant, but I would have to look into that, and the dog. Have you seen my dog? I gave her a bath a while ago and...I want a new iPad.

I have packed the parachutes for 3 of those! Sat in one that was pre-restoration static display.

Only thing missing is a B-52.

Mendo -

As the CH-46 has been retired, maybe you could pick one up for your firewood collecting...

Those stink of sweat and turbine oil.  ;D

Stacking firewood in the 525 doesn't seem practical...


And the difference between $400k for a used 46 vs $15MM for a 525?

It's only an extra 14.6 million.  [cheeky]

This F35 program sounds like a boondoggle.

Since Canada already has the B models of the F18 why not just upgrade to the E/F models?
