The runway ends less than a mile from I-64, over which they were not allowed to fly at low level - so the pilots would come screaming at treetop level until just before the freeway whence they would pull into a verticle climb (always a spectacular sight!).

If I went with "Crimeguy" I'd probably have an FBI agent tailing me at all times.

The avatar is due to the fact that I only discovered matrixgames and these forums when it was announced that MWiF was going to be developed here (talk about luck, as I now own several games from matrixgames, and am more than pleased with most of them (one exception)). So, as some of the other guys on the MWiF forums started using some über WiF counters as avatars I thought "what the heck, I am not gonna use a Mannstein, Yamato, Iowa etc counter. I will use one that shows my nationality, and said nationality's fighting ability during WWII ".

I wanted a different nickname, but I was a pledge so had no say. It beats "Flounder".

Major Tatham-Warner actually carried the umbrella for that purpose. In the movie, he's called Major Carlyle, and he dies, but Tatham-Warner survived.

Of course, half the people on this board probably know this story.

You are on it! Say , do you know where that top secret Navy base is in Falls Church? The one that they always showed on JAG? My wife has been trying to get orders there for ever (she's a Navy JAG). All the detailers say they don't know of such a base. So it must be top secret. You know that television never gets it wrong!

Had Copters flying low over the Home all day. Kids and I loved it. Like a mini air show every day! Wife hated it, I told her that's the sound of freedom. Moved out west and could not sleep, to quiet with out that whopp whopp.
