That's the line I like. So much for OPSEC. This reminds me of a story my supervisor told me. He was stationed at Griffis AFB in Rome, New York. Every year, a bunch of left overs from the '70's (peace protesters) would jump the fence with hammers and beat up a B-52. They would always go for the external fuel tank and hammer the crap out of it. Funny thing is, external tanks aren't that expensive (relatively speaking) and pretty easy to change.
Almost makes you wish they would find the bomb. Be a worthless use of a bomb, and a dismal end to a nice aircraft, but hey, it's a dozen or so hippies that wont do it again. |
