Growing old is mandatory, growing up is still optional.
"I'll huff and I'll puff ...woah! Nice shotgun. Umm. Look at the time! Should have been home hours ago! Wife will be frantic. Nice meeting you. Bye, bye now!" They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 http://warthogswrants.blogspot.com/ |

We had A-7s here until they switched to F-16s sometime in the 80s. The A-7s looked pretty cool flying over each day. Their shapes were neat. A by-gone era. We are slated for F-22 Raptors to replace the F-16s. But who knows now, with the halting of procurement? The 138th Fighter Wing has performed many successful missions out of Turkey over Iraq for many years and has a great record. The 138th makes flights nearly every day in squadron strength. I love the Indian chief's head art on the tail. Yesterday I saw a Marine Harrier coming in. It flew right over me. He probably needed fuel or had to pee.

A man who lies merely hides the truth.
But a man who tells half-lies has forgotten where he put it. |
