This documentary can be viewed for free on Hulu (www.hulu.com). It is an inspiring story of two Navy pilots' journey into becoming F-14 pilots, plus it will be of special interest to Tom and Quaker.....  ;)

Sorry full auto, but when I went to access the page I got got just hulu's homepage. If you have a link to something that would make me and Tom bond,I would pay you for it. ;D Seriiously, the ony two things we have in common is that we both believe in the 2A and we both took the King's shilling and put on the uniform when we were 18. In my mind that covers a lot.You voluntered, or you didn't. I'm in the magic class of '91 and I still feel that way. I would like to see the vid so if you have a better link, please post.

Hey, college boy, 2 things:

1. We kicked the king's ass out of here 225 years ago (+/-)
2. Try searching for Speed and Angels on hulu - worked for this Northern boy

Quaker,
I'm not going to spoil it for you, so I think the problem is you don't have an account on Hulu. Creating one is easy and doesn't cost you anything- the same concept as Yahoo! Mail. Don't just read the synopsis, but watch it because it touches on (but the story is not about) what you, Tom and I have discussed several times in the past.

I thought it was very inspirational and really like it!  And I think you and Tom will really like it. :)

Glad you liked it, JB. I had the same reaction too....And I think your emoticon is great!!  ;D

When I was a kid I wanted to be a fighter pilot and that's what I would think about all the time. I loved "Baa Baa Blacksheep" and any WWII programs that featured fighter pilots and their planes. The two planes I would love to fly today are the P 51 Mustang and the Spitfire. I love the sound of their engines and they seem to handles so well in the sky......Enough daydreaming...

P51 and the Corsair for me.

Yep the F4U Corsair. It and the P51D are beautiful birds.
