Thank you for showing the public the behind the scenes operations that make the jets go. I remember one of the things that made the Soviets scratch their heads was our ability to generate and quick turn aircraft using mere enlisted men. They couldn't do it.

That is right. American enlisted troops can do many things that foreign countries depend on their officer corps to do. I have read that the Soviets were in awe that our enlisted troops shouldered resposibility that they (the Soviets), would only allow officers to have. :thumbsup:
