“Fighter Pilot, And A Bastard”

AirplanePorn PIC (Porn In Command!)

I had the pleasure of having an old friend drop by last week. By old, I mean we haven’t caught up since my wedding and it’s been too damned long kinda old. We’ve kept in touch through Facebook and all, but sometimes that’s not really like old times.

You see Mark and I used to be roommates in college. When the avgas was free (at least to us) and when we didn’t care that we actually had to pay back those student loans. Mark went on to have a distinguished career as a Marine Helicopter Pilot, and I went on to well – write an aviation blog.

We were comparing cool aviation stuff that we had run into on the net. The iPad was blazing with all sorts of wings and things.

Then I asked him if the Marines drank Jeremiah Weed (http://www.jeremiahweed.com), which is a favorite of Air Force Fighter Pilots.

“Only Air Force Pukes Drink that crap” he replied.

Then he asked me if I had heard of Dos Gringos (http://www.dosgringosrocks.com).

“Dos Whoa?”

Then he explained. Two fighter pilots who sing and have a since of humor. There pretty good at singing and pretty damned funny to boot.

Not only do they drop real bombs, they like to drop F-Bombs too. So if you’re going to listen, wait till the kiddos goto bed.

Their songs have aviation written all over them (here is just a sample, check them all out at http://www.dosgringosrocks.com/music.html):

You can buy their CD and T-Shirt on their web site. You can also look them up on iTunes as “Dos Gringos”. There is a little warning though there is another “Dos Gringos” (those bastards!) with an album called “Where the New Road Starts”…THAT IS NOT THEM!!!

Just don’t get arrested blaring “GOING IN FOR GUNS” down Main St. – the cops may want to call the TSA on your ass.

I’m gonna play the Jeremiah Weed song next time Mark comes over and see if I can get him to drink like an Air Force Puke!
