If you're a pilot, buy the CD. If you're in the military, buy the CD. If you're a military pilot, you have no excuse for not having bought the CD already. If you're a civillian that gets all his knowledge of the Air Force from CNN, avoid this CD at all costs.

It's a small segment of society that has enjoyed or is enjoying the priviledge of flying American fighters all over the world with the finest bunch of people ever assembled. From the young airman to the old crusty general, anyone associated with a fighter unit always identifies part of their persona as part of the fighter world. Dos Gringos, Live in the Sand Trap, brings backa flood of memories of being in some of the most god awful places in the world flying dangerous and too often fatal missions only to return to the "club" with the squadron to sing, drink, and generally take a mental break. Every song brings back often painful, vivid memories of being the new guy, the victim, the victor, and, unfortunately, the pall bearer. But listen carefully to the utter joy and excitement every fighter pilot enjoys when talking about their profession of arms. Forget the "Top Gun" sound track. This is the real deal. If you don't quite understand everything, grab a fighter pilot yooung or olkd to translate. I guarantee it will be an education you won't forget and an opportunity to really understand the cultural landmark this CD represents.

First heard this at a party down at DM. Should be manditory for any "beer hangar" in the US military. You don't have to be a pilot to enjoy, although to get the real feel, you may want to have one around to translate some of the songs. Perhaps Snooze and Trip could put a little info in the CD cover that explains what each song is about and why it's so friggen funny. Great CD guys!

Don't even have to be a Fighter Driver to love this CD. Even Flying Heavy's you'll love this CD.

This CD is a classic - a must have for guys who have worn a flight suit. Even the great men who work on the jets would be entertained. If you've sung the songs in the club or on a sweep(you know the ones) - these are great additions to the traditional songs we all know and love in the fighter community. If you haven't flown but want a greater understanding of life in the fighter community and the challenge it presents - buy this CD! Hounds Baby Hounds!

Thanks Snooze and Trip. I've only listened to "2's Blind" so far, but I grin from ear to ear every time I do. You curse like only a wingman who's lost the visual can curse, and remind me of how I used to sound all too often. In this watered-down, PC, Ted Turner colorized world, it's nice to have this CD to remind me of what the real world of a fighter squadron is like. Thanks again.

If you know anything about flying fighters you will laugh your cranium off! If you don't know anything about fighters, have a shot of weed and start singing!!!!

EXCELLENT ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF US ON THE FLIGHT LINE

This is an awesome cd. I just got back from the rock where I am a 16 chief. This is a tribute to the maintainers as well as the pilots. Keep rockin'

A must hear for anyone who wears a bag. It will instantly become your favorite CD.
