    Yeah, my dad flew B-26 bombers in that "South Korean War." Only, he did his best to drop his bombs on the "North Korean War" side. ;)

    My Dad flew the B-26 in WWII. There's a lot of colorful history with that plane.

    There were actually two aircraft with the B-26 designator. The B-26 Marauder during WWII, and the B-26 Invader in the Korea era. Both awesome aircraft.

    It was actually a B-25 that buzzed the field...damn it was low. Dude got into all kind of trouble with the FAA over that flyover. Also, you don't see any planes flying around with banner like "Ditch Dickey" anymore either.

    Seeing as how he’s new to football, I would think a dedicated nutrition/S&C and O line coach will be much better than anything a high school can offer

    I was at that game. I grew up around an Air Force base and was conditioned hearing aircraft coming and going. I could hear an aircraft coming but really couldn't get a fix on which direction it was coming from. I happened to look toward the south end zone. There used to be a little area at the top of the stands where a television camera could be set up or someone from the team could film the game. As I looked that way, I saw the guy who was there duck down really quickly and it wasn't a second later that the plane came roaring by. I also remember being able to see people in the nose area from my seat higher up in the east stands.

    Flew in C130s when I was in the Air Force. Not a comfort flight. Cold and cargo nets for seats. Shower curtain for the toilet.

    Maybe the best plane ever built. Lockheed designed and built some very unique and great planes:
    C-130 Hercules
    C-121 Constellation
    C-141 Starlifter
    C-5 Galaxy
    U-2
    P-38 Lightning
    F-104 Starfighter
    SR-71

    A recruiting thread turned airplane talk? The GC community is losing it's touch, which plane would be the best to catch some Small Mouth Bass in?

    I was in the south end zone and it startled the he** out of me. I flew myself up to the game and thought, "You're in trouble now!"
