Unfortunately these days, "Go pound sand in that instance would probably 
lead to cavity searches followed by a lengthy stay at an undisclosed 
location. That sucks.
I got to see a couple down in Hampton, VA hen I was down there, along 
with a few F-18s The 22s look pretty cool in flight in the land of for 
real. Much cooler than on the History Channel.

At least when you get old you get to pull the old "And can you believe 
they wouldn't let me take oven ONE picture of those dang nab planes? 
Silly Asshats!" and point your pipe stem at the grandkids.
