I have a great book on the history of the Air Force here... along with some great books on WW2 and Cold War planes.

The air force academy had a donut machine that made 1200 donuts an hour. Three hours of prep time, and the entire cadet wing could be on a sugar rush.

See, true life is stranger than fiction, George. I kid you not.

Airplanes are apparently not the only thing that goes fast in the Air Force.

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
flying high into the sun.
