#1 We have a couple of these in Anchorage. Good old lumbering workhorses.

The problem with the airborne shock troops scheme is that the olde sod in the north will become a glass Roentgen soup bowl in the meantime.

#3 ...When I was with the 8th TFW at Kunsan AB, ROK, (84-85) we were officially told that the An-2s were damned near invisible on just about any radar we had.

We were also told that if we saw NK commandos dropping from one (and they have to climb up above about 1000 ft to get safely out with the loads they'll be carrying), we weren't allowed to shoot at them until they got to the ground.

The universal response was, "Yeah, right."

#8 Why is a chocolate Korean punching Canada?

I think that is maple syrup; looks like sprouts on his shoulders.

#9 Covered in Small Arms Air Defense. Lead the target, volume fire. M2s hitting it will do a number previously experienced by German and Japanese pilots.
