Even my wife, who doesn't know jack about aviation, looked up to the sky while we were having drinks on the patio and as Fifi was departing KOLM at 1000ft. AGL, she said "Holy Crap that's cool!"

My late father served in 1st Division, USMC for about three years in the Pacific. Never would talk much about it other than a few humorous stories non-combat related. His health suffered throughout his life and I'm convinced it was service connected. He died at 59, pretty broken down. Would never buy anything Japanese made mainly because they beheaded his best friend when the war was all but over. My father in law spent about three years in Europe driving a jeep mainly. He never suffered from much of anything and died at age 85. From what I know, take Europe any day.
