I saw these on eBay, and thought they were a hoot...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36068&item=2282573923&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

<img src="http://i21.ebayimg.com/01/i/02/c2/fc/c3_1_b.JPG" border=0>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>This is the real deal. These all leather, high top black flight boots were purchased from their original owner: a USAF General who commanded one of the last A-10 Warthog squadrons before the planes were retired.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

F"A general who commanded one of the last A-10 squadrons before the planes were retired"?? Did we know that?!? <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

Just goes to show you had better know what you want, and a little about your subject matter when buying off Ebay. Anyone who knows anything about the A-10 would never get ripped-off with this item but I bet someone who deosn't know will! <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'm thinking maybe they got A-10 confused with A-6. Those Navy guys are known for wearing squadron color laces in flight boots.

I might agree with ya, except the guy was saying these belonged to a general, and there ain't too many of those in the Navy (USMC perhaps? I seriously doubt a Marine would have the chutzpah to wear blue bootlaces, even a Marine flier!)
