Fly'n home after "Big Game Hunt'n"

[LeBleu]

Curious, do you eat what you kill?

That's cannibalism bro..

Big names will commit

Hunting, no. P-51 Mustang at 100 ft doing 350 knots, yes.

Can only guess at what that feels like since I don't have $5 million to buy one, but I did chase cows around south Alabama in a T-28 at 300 kts a few times. Lots of horsepower, but not as nimble.

Your tax dollars at work. Thank you, I had fun.

I always thought those were cool airplanes. The fighter jet canopy with the ww2 fuselage looked awesome. I’d be happy to fly something faster than the 172 I usually rent. But then again.. I’m pretty damn happy in a 172. Lol

Sharp looking jet! That looks like the way to travel - Coach class!

I wonder if they dangle a ride in the jet in front of the recruit.

just need to add Mei Lei...

I don't fly, (you're welcome), but, I find the YT channel "Probable Cause : Dan Gryder" fascinating. Maybe a little morbid, but pilots should check him out.

I have a buddy that is affiliated with a HS that frequently has recruits who are pursued by big-time programs. He said Saban landed in his helicopter on their adjacent practice field and came to visit a recruit at practice - it really created the desired impression that Bama was big-time football. I guess a helicopter trumps the flashy car that Butch said he needed to impress recruits!

Reminds me of the story of Kris Kristofferson landing a helicopter at Johnny Cash's house to deliver him a cassette of the demo for "Sunday Morning Coming Down". It worked!

A long time ago, i thought hunting to be a cruel form of entertainment.

Now, hunting a huge grizzly bear in Alaska is on my to do list.

Just me, my 2 cents. Yes i only kill what i plan to eat. I refuse to kill and waste. But i dont kill much , i just enjoy being out doors and watching nature mostly

All this thread needs now is the Andy Griffith theme song with Griffith declaring, "What they called it was recruiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I'm all for that kind of thinking. Still, I was merely curious when I asked the original person about it. I used to read stories about why hunters hunt. Including detectives on the trail of criminals. Motivations are interesting topics.
