    As much as I hate the thought of military pilots letting their ego get in the way, this story made me smile. Sometimes one has to remind others of their place in the food chain.

    Story also gave me warm fuzzies about being a Yank.


    Thanks for sharing Curt.

    The book Sled Driver was amazing. Luckily I had a friend who was so into the SR71 that he sprung the $700 for it.
