Dear happy gulfer,

Are you referring to the Al-Salam facility?

Dear NCTBA,
OMG - another person happy (or content, at least) with his lot in the Kingdom.
The proper authorities had better move fast to stamp this out before it spreads.

Regards,
John

Dear NCTBA,

Old saying (from the USMC):

You can always tell a fighter pilot - but you can't tell them much.

I still recall with pleasure the arrogant and abusive fighter pilot at Chu Lai who, upon doing his pre-flight inspection, discovered a monkey wrench in the jet intake.

A note was attached:

"You found THIS one."

My, talk about an attitude adjustment.

Regards,
John

The Saudi military, including the Air Force, is primarily for show. Don't expect many of the students at King Faisal Academy to be very bright. The curriculum is dumbed-down. The academy is hardly a tertiary school. It is, at best, a junior high school.

How do you know if someone is a pilot ?

He tells you.
