Of course he didn't. They don't have rear view mirrors on camels or burros! I think sonner or later he'll be worm dirt. I don't think he will be taken alive. I think I almost prefer him at room temperature rather than doing the perp walk.

I guess when you have seen things up close and personal, you get cold to it. I took one look and wondered what the caliber of weapon that hit the perp was. Looks messy like a .50 cal, but the windshield holes don't look big enough for .50. It's been awhile, so my ballistic expertise is rusty. Plus I was just a comm guy in the AF, but I was working on "have-quick" radios in the early 80s, when there were only a few of us that knew them. Hence, we got to fly everywhere they needed have quicks. I can tell you, they weren't in nice, fun places. Because of that, I got to know way more about the world than I cared to. But you know.

I don't regret it, and am glad that there are guys today like Adler to carry on the torch. Dan and I raise a toast to you.

Yeah we have some pics that were taken on one of our air assaults over here in Iraq and they are just out right plain nasty. I wont post them but the damage was done by our M-60D's that we use as door guns on our Blackhawks and when I saw the bodies I will admit it I almost threw up. War is deffinatly nasty. We picked up a soldier a couple of months ago who was hit by a road side bomb, he was alive and going to make a full recovery but his arm looked like it had gone through a meat grinder. These things I will never forget.

I agree with lesofprimus
There are many other pilots that should be here like Galland, Marseille or Nowotny

Well ofcourse there are others. Galland, Marseille, and Nowotny were great and there were many others that were just as great or better but you cant list every great ace there are too many.

The Poll was not done accuratly.. There should have been more pilots listed...

I think that either Kozhedub or Marseille was the best..... Their competition makes them rank higher than Hartmann in my world...
