The 0-2 planes from Bergstrom

Ori0H.Lcl, Lion Texas A&M University on orienta

Col. Kenneth W. Durham, a pro
fessor of aerospace studies, said the
Q-2s are from the 23rd Tactical Air
Support Squadron at Bergstrom.
Capt. Fred May is project officer for

‘ WHERE YOU ALWAYS BUY THE BEST FOR LESS*
The 0-2 is a tandem-engined
plane with pusher and puller
motors. Its primary defense mission
is forward air observation.
Like the two A-10 Thunderbolt
II’s on display last Saturday at Eas-
terwood Airport, the 0-2 visit is in
tended to update and inform future
Air Force officers from Texas A&M.
Many local residents viewed the
A-lOs Saturday, May said. They in
cluded a group of World War II
pilots who spoke with Col. Glenn
Jones and Capt. Don Allen about
the craft.

I had read and heard so much
about the Sex Pistols that when I
romped through the store to pick up
Jackson Browne’s new album, I de
cided to borrow a copy of the Pistols
and acutally hear what I’ve been de
fending for half a year.
I trotted home and slapped the
disc on my turntable, turned the
volume to a moderate level and lis
tened for the first tell-tale sounds.
10-6 SUN.
Wha. . . a mere guitar chord, and
. what’s that?! . . . drums and base
and . . . Oh no!!!! A voice! All doing
the same thing! Playing and scream
ing their viscious hearts out with
four whole chords.
Yes, the Sex Pistols are just your
everyday rock n’ roll band that
shows off unearthly manners but
plays with a wave of furor.
After I had heard their first grunts
and groans against a fantastic metal
lic din, I was just amazed at how
normal these guys really are. Their
