ahh yes. The 'stuff' we did in the military. Most of it unauthorized (like buzzing reindeer with F106)....

I recall our 1st sargent in 1971 " the difference between the US Army and the Boy Scouts is that the Army has guns and the Scouts have adult supervision".

I'd seen the video of the C-130 on a carrier, but this was a new one on me.

Anyone have an idea of Vref for a U-2 approach?
