Defensive Driving?

Running mission CAP in Bowling Green...
Mission CAP in Bowling Green…

Yeah, I admit, this obviously isn’t an LBC but, seeing as the duty SLTOA Marine has a Corvette, I thought I’d throw this out there. One YFE’s oldest Naval Aviation buds also recently acquired his dream ‘Vette, followed by the requisite pilgrimage to Bowling Green, KY. While there, he was able to participate in some sort of “Offensive Driving” course; the photo depicts the result. You have to admit, he looks like he’s ready for anything (and yes, that’s F-111F “Aardvark” 74-0178, 48th Tac Fighter Wing in the background; this particular aircraft left a calling card on the Al Azziziyah Barracks back in April 1986).

More details in the June 2014 edition of “Exhaust Notes.” In the meantime, two final notables concerning driving in Annapolis, MD (in and around a continuing lack of LBCs):

1) There’s something unique about seeing an adult male walking down the street wearing a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” backpack…the one that is shaped like a spiked turtle shell. And,

2) YFE passed a Honda del Sol (1992-1998) with Maryland “Historic Vehicle” plates. Historic? Del Sol? Good grief…

Back on the road tomorrow, heading westbound.
