Aaaargh!  I knew that.!  Smack, smack, smack.

Jeez, how did I screw that up?	

At least I didn't use the old term for early WW2 German troops that
would
land on captured airfields (Air Landing IIRC...)  In those big Ju-352's
(is that number right?) again IIRC.  Flying into an enemy airfiled the
parachute guys had just captured in a air version of a LST (Beth, in
case
this one is not on your list - Landing Ship Tank aka Large Slow Target.) 

Yeah, that sounds like "fun" to me.  Better have faith those flyboys in
those shiney Me-109's are watching out for you.  Jon A would have
something to say about the US Air Farce at this point...

Jay, thanks for the correction.

I am so glad nobody else from work is on this list.  I'd have to be sick
for a week to avoid the laughter in the halls.

Gracias,
Glenn
