RE: Clueless people, one day I was going through security at the airport and a culinary student was in line with his roll up bag of knifes. He was shocked they wouldn't let him carry them on the plane.  |
My cousin Billy flew 63 combat missions over Germany in a P-51 but he didn't have a drivers license. Him and my dad grew up in Brooklyn. They didn't drive. He's 94 and just recently went up in a P-51 restored to look just like his "Tigers Revenge". My dad went up in it as well (a dream of his). Both men were smiling ear to ear.
