Dan, he's said that he's flown fighters, and that the Fellowship is a real
organization......the only thing notable by its absence is his identification
with any of the military branches, foreign or domestic. But, since he doesn't
want to talk about it any more, my personal guess is that he was a test pilot
for Chance-Vought or Republic or some such and is a little embarrassed by his
failure to wear the uniform. Google has found a lot of stuff with his name on
it, but absent in every one of them is any reference to military service.

My conclusion, therefore, is that he didn't have any and, by so pointedly trying
to avoid mention of the subject, only succeeded in having us become aware of
what he'd rather we not know about him.

In any case, he's quite obviously quite knowledgable about flying fighter
aircraft and, phony or not, has much to offer his fellow members of RAM on those
subjects, and it would undoubtedly not be in our best interests to run him off
for that minor lack. After all, we can't all be heroes like us Troop Carrier
pilots, can we? (^-^)))

That said, shall we move on?

Sorry, I'd never heard of this rule!

I was just curious, Dudley. Honest to God! I wanted to know about the
Fighter Pilot Fellowship.

Is Ed Rasimus a member?
