A little Jug humor to cheer you up;

It is said that when the first P-47Bs landed at their new airbase at Boxstead, England, an excited
RAF ground crewman ran up to the huge aircraft, and, scarcely believing that the behemoth could actually leave the ground, greeted the pilot with the nervous question:

"Is anyone else getting out?" hock:

I love that story..............

Hahahahaha. I love it.

James Goodson ran up to Capt Blakeslee after Blakeslee got the first p-47 kill for the 4th fg and Goodson said "I told you the Jug could out-dive them!!" Blakeslee looked at him and said "Well it ought to be able to dive, it sure as hell can't climb!"

I always get a kick outta Blakeslee's hatred for the Jug.
