Enough talk of the NHC, paint jobs and petty bickering. It's time for Jack's world of warbird photos. If you like these let me know has I've only got 5-6000 more.

Hi Jack

We used to tell off the enlisted guys for having their hands in their pockets playing"Pocket billiards" No officer would ever do such a thing of course!!

Beautiful photos as always !!!!!

Regards
John

Of course an officer wouldn't do that! They would have to have the required equipment first........ :wink:

We would pull the un-sow on pocket so we could carry some poggy-bait money around.

Because I was a Tweak, I could have a little pouch with my ID, Notebook and pen in it. I would just stuff everything in that. Then I sowed a sock in my float coat for my camera.
