planes seem to be the theme this week.

Gosh, who could that Eagle be standing in for?
Adolph Galland's Gnatter?
most likely a Su-27/30 stand in.
USA's boner.
I'm sure you meant that a compliment on the manly virility of one of the USAF's premier strike fighters.
We had a really huge military exercise in Yellowknife and across the
NWT in the late 80's. Many USAF and various Air Guard aircraft were deployed
at the Yellowknife airport with virtually all of the RCAF fighter strength
there or nearby. We had a USAF liason officer in our office to "help" with
things. EVERY SINGLE TIME the F-15's fired up to go out and play he would
announce stentoriously "That gentlemen in the sound of freedom." Every time.
I asked him if that was his job since he did little else. He just looked at me funny.
Speaking of funny the exercise was to detect, destroy or divert any hostiles
before they crossed 49 N leaving a few large Canadian cities under the "combat" zone.
Anyway it was interesting and most of the USAF guys were fun and we all got really
drunk and they let us sit in their airplanes when the RCAF guys wouldn't.

Ladies and gentlemen, that is the post of Freedom!
Is that your job? Let's go get drunk or something
and maybe I can sit in your airplane. BTW local girls
are dangerous. You do not want to go home with any
funny marks or bugs to explain to your wife....but that
is a different part of the story.
