[GreenKeys] Dovetrons to be destroyed

[Gregory W. Moore]

GA, Pete etal,

I'm sure glad I got in on the deal for the big birds a few years ago, at 
least I still possess mine (I probably will be visited now by
the MIB --hi--).

There seems to be a brand new policy about this stuff...the Navy is 
completely shredding the Tomcats to prevent the repair parts
from falling into the hands of the Iranians, the only AF with aging 
Tomcats... I guess that the "War On Terror" is now extending
itself to simple FSK devices, usable only for RATT, which, of course 
sounds ludicrous, but since we are talking about the
US Gub'mint, the ludicrous is not only possible, but probable....

Keep the Faith!!!!!
