Bombs Over Key West

Doesn't this remind you of this?

KEY WEST, Fla. — Even with many Americans in conflict abroad, it might raise a few eyebrows to hear that Navy flyers based in Key West are also busy, fighting against an enemy that's already invaded seven times this year.

The good news is that their foe is based in Nevada and attacks for training purposes only.

The "Fighting Saints" (search) are a squadron of forty Navy pilots based in Fallon, Nev., whose current mission is to serve as mock enemies for young fellow pilots based in Key West. The hope is that through repetition of combat situations, the training pilots will be better prepared for actual air conflict.

As Saint Commander Jim diMatteo said, "If you don't practice, then when you get to the game, you're not going to be very good."

Totally cool.
