Shrike I have not heard Gentle Friend. How many lives did it cost?
Shrike I do have a question for a Naval Aviator though, and with a name like Shrike perhaps you will have the answer. Why isn't some squadron with a primarily EADS mission all over this photo for tail art.

Shrike Thus it has always been. (thus the above reference to "Going Downtown" (Flight of the Intruder). I don't know of any songs about the Bantum Bomber, the A7 or the Spad. Still don't know why somebody hasn't jumped on that wild weasel for tail art.

A Shrike is a vicious little bird, like the A4. They got A7's in '71 & last I heard, they were still operational flying the latest & greatest. I believe they are now designated as ... View More
