re: Was Malaysia Arlines flight MH370 a terrorist attack?

The Sq Commander was a great guy. He reminded me of Foghorn Leghorn. He'd make you laugh your arse off.

I don't know if you ever flew in Europe, but they'd use urea as a runway deicer. During a take off roll when you pointed your burner cans to the runway, it would make a 30' high tube of fog/smoke. The Lt Col and I were doing a 20 second trail departure. Lead heads down the runway. At 20 seconds we release brakes and hit the urea cloud so we can't see shite. When lead takes off, the WSO made a courteous "Lead's airborne" radio. My LTC interprets that as "Lead's aborting!" We're still in the urea out of burner and on the brakes HARD expecting to run over lead on the runway. When lead clarifies he's airborne, my LTC says "Cool" THEN PLUGS IT BACK INTO BURNER. HOLY shite, HE'S STILL GONNA TAKE OFF!!!

We used several hundred feet of the overrun before we got airborne. WAAAHOOOO! He was just one of those guys who was always lucky.
