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!
