Went to the MCAS Miramar airshow yesterday. GFs first airshow ever. She had a big grin when the jets roared by and the blue angels solo fliers did their opposing approaches..We really enjoyed it, but got sunburned.
Lots of cool static displays. Got to talk shop with a young Marine Sergeant who is a Stinger Crewmember (forgive me jarheads if I didnt get the MOS description correct). Some things never change...They do fire off more live missiles than we did though, and their simulators are light years ahead...told him about being a Vulcan crewmember (M163 20mm Gatling gun)before they got phased out, typical grunt reaction...his eyes lit up, and almost shed a tear that he couldnt fire one.. lol... also had an M1 on display...brought back memories of the gunner from our task force commanders tank "if yall need me, just come hollerin, ill have this bad boy fired up and reellin to go in a minute!"....God bless our troops!
