These guys are on the road most of the year and they don't get any extra pay. If I hadn't been married to a Marine pilot, I don't think I would have understood the extent these guys love to fly and the pride they take in stepping up to the plate to defend their country.<BR/><BR/>The Dachsies' MomRoxie, Sammy, Andy and Shermiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18151275626025480543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26776821.post-4962710405199919302007-07-19T02:15:00.000+00:002007-07-19T02:15:00.000+00:00BK, cool photos.I've always loved air shows, even ...BK, cool photos.<BR/><BR/>I've always loved air shows, even though I can a crick in my neck when they're over.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26776821.post-77638486188205123192007-07-18T18:57:00.000+00:002007-07-18T18:57:00.000+00:00Neat pictures, B-K.
