I catch myself being proud of my service,
then i remember that the first gulf war was
just a precursor to 9/11 fraud and the agenda that
is destroying our country.

Its still hard sometimes to wrap my head around the
big picture and break away from the brainwashing
surrounding the middle east wars and what daddy
Bush was really talking about when he said "new world
order" so many times.

Im not so proud anymore. But those Phantoms sure
were some great planes. And i loved them. But i sure
do hate the ones who have ruined my memories and
tarnished my honor.

I will have justice for these bastards, i swear it before
everything Holy.

But those Phantoms sure were some great planes. And i loved them.

Me too.

I had some 'interesting' adventures whilst carying out engine test runs on those 'ornery Phantom Spey engines with their rapid re-heat and tendency for a 'banger' if a fault condition resulted in an initial overfuel condition in the jet pipe, spewing out clouds of unburned vaporised AVCAT around the tail which would then suddenly ignite with a huge 'WHOOMPETTA' jerking you forward into the instrument panel. I once blew a large plate of steel off the back end of Fly 4 on Ark Royal (which americans always called Royal Ark for some reason (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/laughing1.gif) ) whilst doing such runs in the dog hours whilst floating around somewhere in the North Atlantic.
