F-105 and 'Nam

Would that be Israel flying Czech -109's, with the huge paddle props, against Egyptian Mustangs?

Yep.. the Avia S-199.. all the bad habits of the original -109 with more bad habits added.

Compare to the Spanish knock-off, the Buchon powered by a MERLIN engine. Buchons were used in the movie, Battle of Britain.

Agree with Hacker, ROTC is nothing like the real military. I earned my commission via UCLA NROTC and though it was fun, it was not the Navy. The Navy sucks ass in many ways too, just fyi.

Tis, the military after all I spose. I just want to get catted of the boat, it seems like that sudden rush of freedom would be worth putting up with all the nonsensical gibberish that goes on :rawk:

Like anything, the Navy is good and bad. I would say the overall climate certainly isn't what it used to be. Of course I've got over 500 cat and traps and I'll say in those moments, it was absolutely worth it :beer: FLY NAVY!! :beer:
