great stuff, anyone ever seen this pic of a P-3 fully loaded? I flew a few thousand hours on this pig(not this bureau #).  But wait..... not the end of the story

So my Father sends me a package one day and this is what is in it....the original pic
I never asked him what he did but this came from the archives of the DOD.
My Pop was a 32 year AF vet.
I never asked anything but he was enlisted all his career and has Co-Pilot wings in his "Shadow Box"    I don't even want to know!
I do remember though as a kid wondering why he had a gun when he came home.

I just took these 2 pics right now.
I asked my buddy Pat to hold it up for me.

Those A-10s are appropriately named.  Those things are badass.  They're not some pansy-ass fragile billion-dollar fighter jet with carbon fiber everywhere, they're brutes. 

Hey Hey now, Your talking about my airplane!
