It's the cap, the shoulder boards, things like that. Like I said, it's only a vague resemblance. By the same token, American and Canadian troops look very, very similar too. Almost identical in fact. The camo pattern is a bit different, but the combat uniform looks almost the same.

Also, the guy on the right looks like he could pass for Cuban.
 

I myself just dont see it, ohwell..... 8)

Very Cool MK!! Are you flying the T-34C?

Yup, sure am. Flying the T-34C out of North Whiting in Florida. It sure is a fun little plane - kinda makes me wish I was around in WWII days with all the props... there's definitely something... primordial... flying high performance prop driven aircraft. That puppy only as 550shp, so makes me wonder what flying a beast w/ 2000+ hp would be like...
 
I've flown T-34As and Bs - it must be a hoot. I was flying out of Edwards AFB in their aeroclub T-34 when the NASA C came up along side of me, waved and left me in the dust! 550 hp vs. 225hp?!?!

Best of luck in your flight training. I read in another post you're hoping for helos (Hueys). Good ole bird, I worked on a few as a civilian...
 

Is the Oyster Bar still open on Navy Blvd? My childhood home is about a mile from the back entrance to the Naval Air Station.

You know, I'm not a very big fan of sea food... in fact I hate it. I see a billboard for one on the corner of garden and barrancas... maybe that one's it. I can't imagine growing up here... it's just way too hot!

And we didn't have air conditioning!! Actually, it was a great place to live. When I was growing up there was no development on the keys and we had a jeep so we could run the dunes anytime we wanted to. Also, the beaches are beautiful. When it got hot, we went to the beach. Many memories of parties on the gulf. In addition, we loved sea food, fried shrimp, crab gumbo, fried mullet, oysters (I didn't care for this),flounder, mmm, I'm getting hungry. Wonderful boating and skiing, lousy surfing.

It is hot and humid however and hurricanes can make life exciting. When I was in pilot training, I flew my cross country to Pensacola. It was a big ego trip as I taxied my afterburning T-38 past the pregnant T-2s of the Navy. I popped open the canopy and tried to inhale the 100% humidity of Pensacola and said"I home!" I guess the heat and humidity gets into your blood.

Have a great tour. I am sure you have airconditioned quarters and classrooms. Remember, a lot of aviators went there without it and survived. The place has great tradition and the Naval Air Museum is one of the best in the nation and probably the world.

P.S. When I was growing up I had to compete with you guys from the Navy and Marine pilot training program for dates! Tough competition. My sister said she had never met a bad looking Naval aviator, the Marines, on the other hand... (just kidding! I'm sure she meant the Marines, too ).
