You Know You're Old Dept.
The only one in that list that I've flown is the T-28. The other day I was
in Charlotte and it turns out they have an aviation museum there. Of all things, they have an H-46 helo from the last Marine squadron I worked at, HMM-161. That was a weird feeling. "Wayne Paul" wrote in message ... Juan, You may be correct. Now let me see where I fit. Definately not 90+; however, SNJ, SMB, T-33, T2J, T-28, T-34, A3D, A6A, P2V, P5M, R4D. Oh my, I must be getting old!! Wayne http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder "Juan Jimenez" wrote in message .. . Nah, when you know you're getting old is when you _start_ finding them in the museum. By the time you can only find them in museums you already know you're an old fart, and you're probably volunteering at the museum. And I just got a flashback of a 90+ yr old volunteer at the Vintage Flying Museum who flew B-17's in WWII and still gives tours, clambering all over the airplane to teach people about the history of the airplane. Everytime I think about that it reminds me what it feels like to see "awesome" in person... "Wayne Paul" wrote in message ... I get the same type of a blank stare when I mention A3D. You know you're old when ...the only place you can find an aircraft you flew during your military career is a museums. Wayne HP-14 "6F" http://www.soaridaho.com/ wrote in message ups.com... You know you're old when some kid posts a picture of a plane you've flown in captioned: 'What the hell is THIS?' (It's an AJ-2, son. A nice airplane and one of the largest to have flown off an Essex-class carrier.) -R.S.Hoover -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Rucker is still there Bragg Shafter, Wheeler, Hickam Dunno about his time in Europe.. Laredo AFB is off.. Da Nang is definitely off the list.. Oui-jom-bu or whatever, Korea.. Is the US still there in that town with Helos? He was so many places in 20 years. Dave |

I think that still exists. My specialty was Russian Linguist with USAFSS (Security Service). I haven't kept track but I think even that name has changed. We had a _lot_ of small bases around the world, most that one wouldn't want to be at. Harry K |

For me one of the signs of being over the hill was going to the motorcycle dealership and asking for a part for my XS11 and the guy behind the counter asks "what's an XS11.) Tony |
