John, you're starting to sound like the Wild Weasels I worked with at Korat Thailand. Those guys flew beaned-up F105's and played bumper tag with SAM missiles. When (if) they landed, it was party time! One night they declared the officers' club stag bar off limits to everybody but Weasels, and they used a potted palm tree to sweep everybody else out the door! All volunteers- - - -great guys, but absolutely, certifiably nuts!
