IS IT JUST ME...

Am I the only one that remembered that yesterday was a day that was
supposed to have a special significance.

A day that would live in infimy.


There were many posts in a.b.p.military. I'm sure there were many
more in the political groups, but I don't go there.

The attack on Pearl harbor, while significant in reagards to History,
politics, world events and the military, was not a particularly important
day to the world of aviation.

Hmmmm! Wasn't the entire raid on Pearl carried out by aviation? Why do
you say that it wasn't particularly important to the world of aviation?


Was it the first of any sort of flight? The longest? Were any new
technological barriers broken, aces crowned, meritorious valor on the part
of any pilot? Were any records broken, or new trends in aviation started?
The answer to all these questions is 'no'.

Suggesting that Pearl harbor day might be a special day for aviation
because "the entire raid on Pearl (was) carried out by aviation" is like
suggesting that the assasination of JFK is a special day for gun
enthusiasts....
