This is for Dusty and his fans...

01/07/04 - A F-15a Eagle from the 125th Fighter Wing, Florida Air National Guard, releases flares to gain the attention of a civilian aircraft violating a restricted area, Jan. 7, 2004

Given what's clinging to the underside of that Eagle, not to mention the 20mm, I think I'd pay attention.

Update. Speaking of Dusty... this just arrived:

The Air Force recently hired several cannibals.

"You are all part of our team now," said the personnel manager during the welcoming briefing.

"You get all the usual benefits and you can go to the mess for something to eat, but please don't eat any of the airmen."

The cannibals promised they would not.

Four weeks later their colonel remarked "You are working very hard, and I am very satisfied with you, however, one of our techs has disappeared. Do you know what happened to him?"

The cannibals all shook their heads no.

After the colonel had left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others, "Which one of you idiots ate the tech?"

A hand rose hesitantly, to which the leader shouted," You fool..! For four weeks we've been eating officers and no one has noticed, but noooooo..., you had to go and eat someone important!"
