Great pictures and true statements, most of which I had seen somewhere in the past. My favorite: "The only time you have too much fuel is when you are on fire."

Thanks for the link.

They missed a couple.

The machinegun...accuracy through volume.

They did leave a few:

According to US Navy submariners there are only two types of military vessels......submarines and targets.

My best recent example, overheard at KORK in North Little Rock, AR:

"If you call 5 mile final at 3 miles they don't get so mad at you"

Nice! Two and half of my birds were represented: F-15E Strike Eagle (pg 2) from the 4th Fighter Wing, Seymour Johnson AFB NC; F-4E Phanton II (pg 37) from Osan AB, ROK; and the half is the A-7 Corsair II (pg 13). It's wearing Navy paint but it looks like the USAF variant A-7D to me. The tiger jaw nose art resembles that worn by the A-7Ds of the 23rd TFW Flying Tigers I worked at my first base, England AFB, LA. The pod under the intake resembles the Pave Penny system I maintained...or rather a painted-over dummy pod.

And something posted on a sign at Seymour Johnson: Welcome to the 335th Tactical Fighter Squadron—World's largest distributor of MiG parts.

Some great ones there... Thanks for the link.

Always reminds me of my father's story:
"Mr McLeod, if you continue in this fashion you WILL kill yourself, and I refuse to be part of it. Let me out! I want you to shoot 5 touch & goes and should you survive, on the 6th, stop and pick me up." My father's flight instructor in AZ (early '50s) on occasion of his first solo.

Or by unknown -
"The enemy may kill me with my own weapon, but they'll have to beat me to death with it, because it will be empty."

Head-on poster of a new USMC Super Cobra gunship with full weapons load -
"We made it pretty, because it's the last thing some people will ever see."

ATC conversation overheard -
"LA Center, this is Flash3. Request clearance to Angels 80." (aka 80,000 feet.)
"Flash3, this is LA Center. Just how do you propose to get up there?" (sarcastically)
"LA Center, Flash3. We're requesting permission to descend." (SR-71 aircrew)
