Yup...

Duke Cunningham and his RIO Willie Driscoll splashed three MIGs in a single sortie to become the first American Aces of the Vietnam war. On the way back to the boat they were hit by a SAM but managed to stick with the jet until they were over water, where rescue would be possible. They ejected, (Driscoll first, as in the pic) and were picked up by a Navy helicopter.

Awesome painting!

I read a book about him and Robin Olds many years ago.

I'll bet the gas pumps are in England. That looks like something Health and Safety would do.

Cue the theme to Jaws (or AIRPLANE!)...

The really sad part is...

...it probably happened at one time, so that's why that put the warning on the nozzles.

There's so much wrong with this sign....What the heck is a Cofee Brick? Does the message come with the free wife?....

Coffee grounds vacuum packed in a rectangular parallelepiped. Until the vacuum is broken, those things are really hard.

So when your free wife hits you with a coffee brick, she's trying to send you a message.

I read a book about him and Robin Olds many years ago.

Even more off topic, but a great true yarn of American Fighter Pilot lore

off course, the set up starts with stupid American tactics

The agility of the MiG-21 and the VPAF tactic of high-speed slashing attacks from astern under GCI control posed a challenge to American pilots, who had become predictable by staging large formation strikes from Thailand flying roughly the same routes and times of day allowing the VPAF to challenge them with a relatively small force of 15 or 16 MiG-21 fighters used as point defense interceptors.


Personal note: they also flew the same altitudes and used same radio frequencies.

Actually, no. It was simply an amazing design by Kelly Johnson, (yup, the guy that designed the SR-71), well ahead of its time, and unbelievably good at what it does.

what other plane used Camaros and Mustangs as chase cars?

Didn’t Kelly Johnson also do the A4? Pretty popular ride in it’s day.

I wish I had a picture, but I've seen a house in rural WV with a sign advertising:

Taxidermy
Knife Sharpening
Child Care

I bet those are some well-behaved kids when they come home.
