I like the sound of that!


Speaking of which, they need to add him to the Canes player pronunciation page!

And spot F/A-18s in the wild. Although they will be extinct in a couple of years because of invasive species (F-35).

I wouldnt say that for sure. Having worked on the OG Hornets I real feel like they may end up like the Blackbird and the Warthog. Everytime some clown in the Pentagon decides they are at end of life something happens and they are the only weapon capable of handling it and they get brought back out of preservation.

They have a very unique skill set as far as being able to fight and attack as well as they do.

In general you know much better than I do. I was talking about the Finnish population of Hornets.

Fun little story. My first command working on them was VFA-125 which is a pilot training command. Once pilots leave flight school and get assigned to a plane they go to a training command to learn the capabilities of that plane. The US had a contract with McDonald Douglas who made the first versions of the F-18 to train other NATO militaries if they wanted to buy the Hornet. So I spent about 2 weeks with a group of Fins training with them. Real cool guys. They ran their Air Force like a race team where the group of mechanics and the pilots stayed together as a team and worked on one particular aircraft.

Also had a group of Saudi's and they were the exact opposite of everything the Fins were,

Probably his playing ability.


I don’t know what half of those words are, but I assume this is impressive in some way.
If you've heard of them basically it's the area that the Sami people are from. Probably the area of the world most associated with anything that we consider Christmas-y (sleds, reindeer, etc)

It could be a mind game thing. If every injury is long term, opposing teams will have no idea who to scout pregame :sarcasm:
