So we won't go, until it is to late( again)
I know cause like back then,in 1932 we, as a nation, blew it off too
and they have had decades to fortify against it
But a much more appropriate fit than just Perswig' cool share is the fact that russian troops in
nonspecific uniforms; jeans & hoods, ( No Insignea )are rolling over small countries in Europe.
But the most obvious & real threat:
PLACING NEW MISSEL SYSTEMS IN LANDS THE HAVE OCCOPIED
We are, like I said if & when WE? choose to. (Dos Gringo's 1st YouTube video)

Reilly, that clip shows some nice background footage that my link last page didn't get to. Dig the 'Rosie the riveter' earrings!
Such a cool journey for those folks.

Hiyas all!
I haven't been on here in ages, so I thought I would break back in by posting up some pics. The wife and I took a trip to Tuscon a couple months back, and I finally got to visit the air museum there. Being as it's right next door to the boneyard, they have some seriously cool airframes out there. Enjoy!

This is my new bad habit:
What museum is that above? I've been to both Smithsonian Air and Space museums. You have the small museum on the mall, and out by the airport you have the incredible huge museum, with the Space Shuttle Discovery, an SR 71, and about 200 other airplanes. Darn near anything you can think of. It is an incredible place. A must see for anyone in the area with a day to kill.
Compare to the Apollo capsules, the Space Shuttle is unbelievably huge. Getting that sucker into orbit took some real power.

I spent my high school years a stones throw from the boneyards and DM AFB. I recommend the Pima Air Museum to anyone interested in airplanes. You can also visit the boneyards through the museum if you sign up in advance.

base104 -- what is your new "bad habit"? is it skydiving (i.e. jumping out of a plane) or BASE?

MS-I didn't see your comment.
Paragliding. Jumping off things with a wing ALREADY inflated.
It is taking off. I have several friends who are way into it. I'm leaving for Utah to get my P2 rating next week.

B-17, B-24, and P-51 in Yakima for their annual visits this week. Able to crawl through the bombers (but not into the cockpit) on your own. Amazing. The soldiers who flew these things were brave men or very youg; probably both. Anyway, I glad there are groups out there preserving this heritage. Didn't get to fly this year, maybe next year ......

Now I have to avoid flying Air Canada, too? (not that their prices would
ever entice to do so anyway)
VERY CLOSE to the largest aviation disaster in history!

I know it was dark, but that only describes the pilot's mental state.
Maybe he trained with Korean Air/Asiana?
Trust me, runways at major airports are WELL lit up. You've also got
this other gizmo called an ILS/Localizer.
