Some of you do not respect the Flying Tigers, and it shows.

I have no idea what you are talking about, but I can respect the Pole Cat, which was the first aircraft to fly around the world over both poles. Flight took about 57 hours to complete covering more than 26,000 miles.

Loving that image.

Is that shirt I sent you once upon a time still around?

Yup. Hanging in my closet. Wore to an air show and got lots of compliments.

Growing up, the P-40 Warhawk was my favorite aircraft. This was almost entirely because of the Flying Tigers.

He treated them better than he did Chiang Kai-Shek.
