Default RE: How many here fly full-scale?

I made a post earlier about dad getting me into flying, he is now 85 his health is really failing fast , he recently showed me some pictures from wwII shows a fire fight on some island, the island was being attacked by ship and dive bombers at night all you could see was streaks of light going from the ships and explosions on the island, Dad was on a destroyer then, I remember him saying without seeing this picture how could anyone explain what they were going thru. He was proud of the navy and how even though they were all scared kids they knew they had to do it. He talked about there not being time to be scared, but thats why they all drank and smoked for relief from the action. He laughs at some shows because there werent any girls on the islands, like baba black sheep..........some say that was the best generation and I agree
