Default RE: Black Smoke???

Silly side story.

Back in the early '70s when the Blues were flying the F-4s, they used the two inboard missiles to hold dye'd water they would spray during their shows. That plan only lasted about 1/2 of the season when they realized that the dyed water they were spraying was...well...dyed water. They were spraying the crowd, the parking lots...everything with the spent dye. Finally, they sprayed a group of VIPs (Generals...Admirals ETC) and it ruined their uniforms...because, well...it's dye and would not come out. Thus the program came to an end. Oops!

OK...back to Todd's quest.
