Unless you are current or past military you just don't understand how dangerous the job can be even WITHOUT being shot at. Military Aviation is risky business for sure. God bless them all.

I have spent many a hour in a C-130, they are
a work horse for the Air Force (1967 - 1969) It takes a lot to bring one of them down. Sorry to hear of the accident off the coast of Calf. -------------------- I've been told, that you can miss fast enough to win...

I heard about this too.... prayers to all the families.

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler." AE "The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it." FN "We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home." EM “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” – Thomas Jefferson |
