Back in the 70's I worked on a crab fishing boat of the coast of WA. In the summer we would move our crab pots north of Grays Harbor up around Destruction Is. Just south of there was Seal Rock where the planes from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station practiced skip bombing.

And gave you an interesting memory that you have even to this day. Being an Air Force brat, living on Air Force bases, and being in the Air Force myself when I grew up I can assure you that Air Force pilots are very special people, and the ones that fly combat aircraft are even a step above that. They tend to be outgoing, risk-taking, self-confident, fearless, fun-loving, patriotic, and extremely intelligent, and without a doubt, the best pilots in the world. But they're not above buzzing somebody every now and then.

My Dave was an Army helicopter pilot in Viet Nam. He tells about using the gunships to go shark hunting. Yup, there are some things they are not above doing.

Your Dave had a very dangerous job. Anyone that flies in combat has to be extra special. There's an old saying in the Air Force about coming in on a wing and a prayer, and your Dave didn't even have a wing.
