American(TOPGUN) Fighter Pilots love Van Halen

[Halenizer]

I was watching the new series "American Fighter Pilots" last night and one of the Topgun pilots made fun of the younger generation of pilots. He said the new recruites listen to the Back Street Boys.....we(Topgun pilots) listen to Van Halen. It tickled the shit out of me!!!!!!!

I always thought Humans Being would be a bad ass song to be blaring through your headset while you wipe out an entire Iraqi base.

'Twas a cool moment made even funnier by "Giggy's" hair. Seemed like he just left a Backstreet Boys concert. Going to be sad to see him peeling potatoes after the next episode!

I remember reading one U.S pilot during the Gulf war who said that he listened to Unchained before he fought and Dreams after.

Yeah, I think there was a blurb in Rolling Stone about it back in 1991. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] It was VERY cool to read that.

One of my professors is a military sociologist. He told us about how Desert Storm was the first war where troops could wear Walkmans...it psyched them up for combat! My prof said, "There were superstitions that you were going to end up that day, depended on what Bono was singing at the time. Troops were interviewed about what they were listening to in battle. More often than not, it was Metallica."

Backstreet Boys? [img]graemlins/scared.gif[/img]

We are going to lose a few wars if our new pilots are listening to that crap before fighting.

'light up the sky' seems very apt..!

Yep, nothing like a little VH when you are slaughtering other human beings that you couldn't even sit down and talk to.

You probably have an American flag decal on the back of your ElCamino, don't ya.

"Light Up The Sky" was a Gulf War fighter plane favorite, a lot of times they would all be piped into it while awaiting radio orders. They generally get a lot of needed emotion and adrenaline from metal tunes. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
