Top 10 Air Forces of the World
Our friend George Drago, the one who was in the left seat on my last mission in Vietnam, sent this to me. It's about 5+ minutes long and well worth it! Be sure to turn your sound on.
Great photos presentation made by an Israeli group and I suspect some of the rankings will surprise you. It did me.
I was especially surprised that China did not even make the top ten, but then with that many people maybe they don’t need to.
Note what we spend to train each USAF pilot.
...and before you complain about military spending -- consider it part of your Life Insurance Policy.

Steve Bogner, fellow Photo Lab Tech of the 225th, sent this wonderful picture:
I hope the picture will go through for you - of this Army soldier in Iraq with his tiny 'plot' of grass in front of his tent. It's heartwarming! Here is a soldier in Iraq, stationed in a big sand box.
He asked his wife to send him dirt (U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet. When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil -- to bring them good luck.
Of all the things he could have asked his wife to send to him from home...........he asked for American soil. WOW.
If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of scissors.. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we take for granted.
Upon receiving this, say a little prayer for our soldiers that give and give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.
Thanks, everyone, for sending these! Keep 'em coming!
