Not that I know of. I figured with you being a USMC F/A-18 IP you were most likely at either of the rags in CA. I thought at first glance that was a -25 plane, however i mistook the "Fist" for a "Rough Raider" on the vertical stab. I was in -97 and -125. How's Lemoore these days?

I think some call that "cruel and unusual punishment" when they try to get Maricopa County (AZ) prisoners to do the same thing right?

USMCFLYR
Yes, you are right.....except the prisoners didn't volunteer for it!

On a related note, if you ever fly into KIWA (I see Marine Corps jets there seemingly fairly often), you will see a bunch of plain unmarked white MD-80s parked about. They carry illegals down to the south side of the border. I believe we have the largest operation of this type here at Willie. Those guys didn't volunteer either.

Absolutely - on a general basis I would say that from my experience the AF certainly lives a better (read more comfortable) life - but thier accommodations aren't always without challenges.

Nor did the military members violate any laws But to go down this particular conversation any further and we might get into a political discussion.

Looks like my squadron is suporting the Kennedy Space Center, otherwise the furthest east we are going is KY. VFA-106 (out of NAS Oceana, Virginia Beach, VA) will be supporting the east coast shows I imagine.
