Bloody hell, another military aircraft fitter from days of yore. I thought I was the only one. Airframe? Engines? Electrics? Avionics?

I was in the Royal Navy on board HMS Ark Royal and HMS Eagle in the 60's and continued this work all around Europe and the Mid East.
What fighters did you service? My guess would be F-104's, F-100's and others of that time. If so its a pity you were USAF, you could have been USN and utterly superior to the USAF coastal defence force. BZ to you anyway my friend.

You must be an Indian man judging by your name my friend, I called into a few of your ports in my time.

We were instructed to watch out for Soviet spies trying to extract info from us before we disembarked in India, we thought they would be disguised as beautiful women, how wrong we were. So very wrong.

yes, i am Indian ... regarding spies and disguising as beautiful women - well - that's a different kettle of fish altogether ...
