At Mail Call, Wayne Thompson was heard saying to All

ROTF!
I have to admit to being a fighter fan, but there is something
utterly facinating about the B-36.
One minor mistake though. When SAC was flying B-36s, the F-102
was used exclusively by the old Air Defense Command (ADC). TAC didn't
take over the fighter-intercept mission until the ADC was disbanded in
'78.
Still...I'm saving this one and forwarding to a buddy of mine.
He'll get a supreme kick out of this!
