Vance,Sounds like the 6 points to connection deal.Those buildings were huge, of course, from the photos I've seen.My dad did everything he could to get me into the Air Force Academy, but as a dumb, single minded kid (15), when I took the eye eam (from dad's friend and eye doctor), I found out the obvious. You can't be a Command pilot wearing glasses, but a few years later and too late, I found out the "back seater" could wear glasses and had to be able to fly the plane!I would have enjoyed "greasing ragheads" in and F-15, as the weapons officer kept the pilot (as well as himself) alive, doing everything from jamming radars, to launching the ordnance!Remember the aptitude tests in High School?Mine were 1: Air Force officer, 2: Army officer.As dad used to say (too soon old, too late smart), not in reference to me, but in general.But I admit it, so I do my flying on the ground in race cars.Driving an Arrows F1 car on my birhday (by chance) outside Monticello, NY.750 BHP, 220 MPH ex Damon Hill machine, up to 5 G braking, and 4 G turning, ought to be fun!Tony
