He wants rooting, shooting and electrocuting for that pitiful excuse - what
is he, a jet jock or a schoolgirl?

We had a F-117 bomb West Texas last year. He bombed a interstate dumpster

&
somebody's bathroom before he found out he was dropping practice bombs.

He
claimed he didn't know the jet was loaded with them, which may be true.

The
investigation revealed he was running late, missed most of his pre-flight
briefing, his jet crapped out & switched planes at the last minute and
didn't pre-flight it.

An F-15E from Lakenheath dropped a BDU-33 25lb practice bomb - and made
an 18 in crater.

Is this what they mean by 'Ground Attack' ??

From a HILARIOUS song I just had e-mailed to me at work:

...."'cause I'm a pilot, and I only care about me - I don't care if I
bring your jet back Code2 or Code 3; 'cause I'm a pilot, and I don't
make no mistakes; I'll take the credit if it ain't broken, I'll blame
you if it breaks"...

I believe that song made it around the entire USAF over a two day period just
after the holidays. Its a damn funny song. I like the line: "Hurry the f%^k up
cause I don't want to wait...I'm in a hurry and its your fault I'm steppin' 20
minutes late" or; "I'll leave FOD in the cockpit without even a trace.... then
I'll over G the targeting pod with a smile on my face". The best part is, the
music is quite catchy and well performed.
