CodTradMon...Enjoyed the clips. Here's a link to one that always quickens my pulse. Dead Stick landing...no engine no nothing...listen to the pilot breathing. He's cool as a cucumber.
I remember reading about the bush wars in Rhodesia as young kid. I so wished I was older so I could go like the man across the street from where I lived. My parents would not let me speak to him for fear of my interest growing even more. It was over long before I could have gone and as to my neighbour from across the street, he was killed there.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."

Epic. And as BdV pointed out...the rise of Mugabe could have been prevented. Another nasty little criminal that the U.S. pretends doesn't exist.
