 Well, how do, Wayne?

 ->  ->  ->         It is real funny how memory works. These 
 ->  ->  ->figures are stuck in
 ->  ->  ->   my mind for the last 50 odd years. The total 
 ->  ->  ->tankage was 2820 lbs.
 ->  
 ->  ->  WC> I don't find it odd or funny.
 ->  ->  WC> The Canadian Air Force under whatever name it goes by had a
 ->  ->  WC> considerable investment in keeping you alive 
 ->  -> and your plane intact.
 ->  
 ->  ->  WC> I suspect an intimate knowledge of your aircraft was
integral to
 ->  ->  WC> both aims ;-)
 ->  
 ->  -> "The rubber meets the road!" Err... Wind meets the wing...

 -> Something most of us can only dream of. 
 WC> 
 WC> Know I did.

I took to building a few model planes since I've been set back. Give me
something to to while I keep the hands and mind busy.

 -> us, we would have to pay retail for the chance to fly as a *passenger.*
 
 WC> Well I'd have done it until the injury.

In case some may wonder, Wayne and I suffer from nerve pain.

 WC> Now I'd pass out or need to be wheeled away from the G forces.

Ya, don't think I'd last too long either. I wonder if one could recline
those seats? (JEAN??? }|-)

 WC> Wish Jean would join memories and to us the details.

 WC> I've spent quite a bit of time reading the stories of past fighter
 WC> jocks off the internet but here's the real living deal.

If he wants to remain mum, I can respect that. Heck, if we went through his
experiences, maybe we too could resist the urge to recount them. (JEAN: If
you're reading, our collective hats - if I can be so bold - are in our
hands, and thanks for your work! If your best interests are to remain
reticent, I can only hold you in the highest esteem.)
