Thanks for the link, the last one is by far the best IMO. As for the A-10's, I love them and think that it is truely one of the most bad@ss planes ever developed. They're stationed here at Davis Monthan AFB here in Tucson, so I get to see them everyday.

Been to DM many times. I was assigned to an A-10 squadron in Alaska for 5 years. During Combat Search and Rescue Exercises (as a "survivor" on the ground) I saw them do lots of really neat stuff at pretty low altitude.

Those things(A10) can almost turn on a dime, they make everything else look clumsy. I remember the first time I saw one in Korea during field maneuvers back in the '70's. Pretty stinking impressive.

We had an A10 base not too far away from us growing up. I loved when they flew over. The big sound and distinctive look are hard to miss. It's a flying tank.

Just thought I'd throw it that for a lot of jobs in the armed forces you can get a waiver for corrected vision, and if you get surgery make sure to check with the program you are applying for. Pretty sure I recall lasik being no good but one of the other ones was. Make sure you check.....
Last, 1OldGI, just curious if you got to play survivor back in 2003, at Eielson...? (and if so do you remember who "rescued"you...)
Just wondering how small the world really is, mostly.

Nope, left Eielson in 1992 (retired in 2005) when I was at Eielson however, resucues were done by an AF Rescue Detachment that was at Eielson at the time (flying H-3's). During the later efforts, I think the Army Aviation guys from Ft. Wainwright came out.

Ok..
The last time I was there was 2003, we were none of the above listed though. The Jollies were already in 60s by then, I think, but we were only there a month or so.
Guess it's a small world just not that small.
