| Cool!
Although I have never been allowed to serve (due to a few medical issues like severe asthma) I have great respect all that have given service to our country, so thank you!
Like I said I've never been allowed to serve yet I am entranced by almost all aspects of our military, especially the Air Force. It is funny, I recognized every aircraft in your video, including the two images of the French Rafale and the one of YA-10B two seat version of the A-10 Thunderbolt II (more commonly known as the Warthog). I have an family member who is an E6 Tech Sergeant in the Air Force and is stationed at Nellis AFB working on maintenance and quality control on the A-10 training squadron that is permanently based there. |

| I got out after 12 years back in 1992. Those were some of the best times in my life.

Central New York | Thanks, that dragged out some memories. It was particularly neet to see the A-10 with the pair of sidewinders on the right wing. My brother and I designed the modification to put the winders on the A-10. That's when I learned that patients aren't worth the paper they're written on if it's something the government wants. Nothing like the smell of jet exhaust in the morning. I can almost smell it now. Thanks again.

Green Bay, WI United States | My next door neighbor in Ft. Worth, Texas back in the Cuban Crises days was a B-52 Bomber Pilot. He ran our little peddle cart over when he backed out of his driveway and was headed to Carswell AFB on "Red Alert". We had been warned not to leave any toys in his driveway. Thanks for the slideshow, gave me goosebumps. Support our Military, past and present, they allow us to ride free....
Ride hard, ride fast, but above all ride safe and free...
