Indeed the case sir..and here we yet are..striving to make sense of "commercial aviation", with all it's inherent insanities..sheesh One thing sadly, and often overlooked by "some" it seems..is the inherent need to have actual "Respect" for pilots. To be fully honest? = Many on these boards are pretty much "I bought my certificate..and..Mom says that I can even fly a thirty-whole -degree bank!!!" the "qualifications" have truly sunk to that level...I'm, very sadly...NOT kidding in the least...as you also, fully know as to how "things are" these days.
PS: And NO intended disrespect to all the tanks/tracks that you folks killed, but... Umm..I DO seem to recall Third Armoured Divison, as having "SOME" slight degree of "interaction" with the Medina Division's obliteration My Bad..we'd have to properly form up, and drink heavilly over all this...in order to "fix" perspectives properly
I did have a very secure playground thanks to all those go-fast jets. But I started to feel sorry for them after the first few days of major combat ops and the CAP guys would ask for our strike freq so they could listen in on the carnage. Poor bastards had scared the IAF so bad they would not come out to play and they had nothing to do but make sky-doughnuts. The 3rd ID did have a hand in taking care of business. We made sure to leave a few tanks untouched so the M-1's could join in. There were so many targets there was plenty for all.
I started my post with a half laugh at some of the attitudes these other "pro" pilots have on this and other boards. I guess I come from a different era....am I really that old??? You want to really weep?? Go to you tube and type in USAPA to see the pre-election road show in PHX. My Jr. High School had more mature meetings. My hope is leveling and rationalizing our pay system takes some of the fight out of this mess.
Dice??? Crud??? Fights on! First round is on me!
