[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 413334, member: 7544"] Even though you didn't get to actually fly, being involved with those aircraft at that time had to be an awesome experience. Once, while my ship was in dry dock, we took our helo up to the Naval Air Developement Center for flight ops and training. They did all sorts of experimental stuff there and I loved seeing some of that stuff. Seeing an SR-71 for the first time at an air show left a lasting impression on me. BTW, do you remember your lottery number for the draft? I turned 18 in 1970 and figured I'd be drafted as soon as I got out of high school. My birthday was drawn #4 on the year I was 17, but on the year it counted (when I turned 18) my birthday was #356. Since I didn't get drafted, I joined a few years later. :lol: [/QUOTE]
