Wow. Just friggin' wow.

Quote:
...flown by Capt. P.J. Johnson in the first Iraq war, in 1991. Johnson, ... received the Air Force Cross after his plane's wing was partially blown off in combat. Miraculously, he managed to bring it down safely.


I think he meant to say the \"Miraculously, the Hawg managed to bring him down safely.\"

Not to be a \"Stickler\" , but is he flying with the \"Flying Tigers\" now Col Johnson?
Because 664 which the Jet he was flying during the GW1 and both were assigned to the \"Beach\" Red squadron.
Go to Pats World they show the jet. That Jet was \"F-UP\" during the first days of the war.
It was \"Amazing \" that that Bird came home plus they had to remove a
UXR of AAA out of the Wing that turned out to be a \"Dud\"

So I was just \" :?: why was it painted \"FT with Grey paint\" instead of the \"Beach Colors\"?
