But yes we are better

I wish I had an Ironman suit

My engine quit over the adriatic sea near Venice in 2009. I couldn't get it restarted and had to dead-stick it in to a nearby airfield. I had to jettison the fuel tanks to make it back safely. Thank God no one was hurt. I landed with one hand on the stick and one hand ready to pull the ejection seat. That was quite a day. Went home and kissed my wife after that!

you are bringing back very vivid memories....wow! just like yesterday.

Of course there is a friendly rivalry between us and the Blues... they are a great bunch of folks and do a great mission for the Navy

Yeah I have seen it...Top Gun right?
