If anyone on this board knows what "flying under the radar" means, it's me. I flew a Grumman F-14 Tomcat during the Gulf War code name Desert Shield on a escort mission back in 1991.

I'm hardly confused on the term. Don't get it twisted.

By the way, K, thanks for your service. My dad was 30+years USAF. Tail gunner on a B-52, then Wing Gunner (still flew missions, but handled all the assignments), and retired as 8th Air Force Gunner. Two stints in Guam during Viet Nam and was actually the first enlisted USAF man to step foot in Viet Nam. His B-52 got commandeered by a General early in the conflict and had them land in Saigon.

Yeah. He never mentioned it until many years later. He was offered SAC Gunner's position near the end of his career, but didn't want to serve his last leg at Offutt. LOL. That's why he took the 8th AF job, instead. That way he got to retire in Louisiana that he loved. Not even from here.

If you haven’t been I suggest you both check out the Navel Air and Space museum in Pensacola. Free to the public and outstanding. They have US and Allied planes dating back to the First World War.
They even have a Nazi Messerschmitt 262 jet that was captured near the end of WW2. The last F-16 to fly a combat mission is there too.
