If we tried the bike stunts while I was in the desert they would have had our heads.

What could possibly go wrong?

I was thinking the same thing. And they certainly would not have liked the fake mullet in Marine Utilities. Oh well, the video was fun to watch and hey these guys deserve the fun.

I'm glad to see our boys and gals are getting to have some fun. They deserve it. I have some videos that my cousin has sent me but I can't share until they are unclassified... He's a F-16 pilot, some pretty cool shots if you know what i mean...

<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist!

That's pretty cool....but you know those guys are Remfs! I did love the "overspeed" light on the Deuce though.

I got a good one from Bosnia. An A-10 whacking some Serb tanks with a British FAC talking him in. Took him 3-4 tries before he actually hit the tank but you should see the TINY valley he was working in. An F-16 couldn't have done it. Makes you have some respect for Hog drivers!

Bored skydivers, bored GI's, see any similarities?
Kinda like skydivers when it's raining.........for one year!!!!!!
If my guys would have done those stunts while we were in the desert, two words..........Article 15!!
BUT, if I would have found out after the fact, those words would have been, "can I have copy of the tape?!!"

"Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

if you plan on flying slow and have a tendency to lose a wing or an engine.

AND actually see what you are shooting at. Ya know....I was watching a friend controlling some F-16's one day. Only time in my entire career that I heard a correction as bad as "How bout moving those bombs 2 KLICKS South." Good thing he was dropping WELL into the range. F-16s were designed for High Alti dog fighting. They should stick to that!
