Soon Snickers, soon. A little hint; If you would have tied it in with SDOE (this is the SDOE General Forum)it would stay here longer.

hehe, Snickers, and just when I thought JG3 had nearly exhausted the myriad of ways to twist =FC=, you hand us a whole new ammo belt. LOL

Interesting trivia, I wonder why a US squad would take on a distinctly German name, or whether the name was thrust upon them.

Keep it clean guys.... This is a family forum...
The name was not one they adoped, rather was given to them (I think by the Marines at Guadal Canal)(sp?). Today they serve out of Kadina on Okinawa, flying F15s.

BTW - I figure I have to throw things out like this. Ifs for sure you can't beat us in the sky , so I give you openings on the forum...

Well, as everyone knows, cockfighting is illegal in the US--so now that I'm officially a =FC=, I'll be referring to myself as a "show chicken" so as not raise any suspicions down here in NC--if that's alright with my brethren =FC=er's ( ooh now that doesn't type out very nicely does it?)
