Me and couple buddies made a bet with this younger co-worker that we would give him $100.00 if he did not use his i-phone except for legit phone calls and messages no playing with app or surfing online things like that fro a full work week he gave up a Thursday almost made it.
He just could not take it.But he did start to use the thing a lot less after that at least.
I know that Pappy Boyington was a "technical adviser" for the show even he said that it was loosely based on reality. I read some place that Pappy met a Japanese pilot who claimed to have shot him down in 1943 while he was working on Black Sheep.I also heard that some former VMF214 members did not like the show very much because of how "they" where portrayed in the show.
