#5 Nice pics SW2631.

Heard some dragon hauling ass westwards the other night, but I'm sure it was nothing, nothing at all.

#8 Great Pics, SW.
Somewhere in the great internet is a video, about 10 minutes long, featuring the A/O in flight, with some form flying w/ a B-25. Don't remember the Mitchell's name, but it was in SoCal somewhere. I think the Planes of Fame museum was invloved, but don't sue me if I gooned that part. The videe of those birds in flight is probably one of the handful that makes me want to give up sex (well, maybe not)

#9 We had the current Memphis Belle flying overhead a couple weekends ago - static and rides from Gillespie Field in El Cajon. They low-buzzed my place a couple times. Majestic

#11 A bone can drop over 200 sdb guided munitions per mission. A perfect tool to destroy any norks trying to shoot at Seoul.

#12 tipper, its more macho than limpy building a brick house on what is supposed to be his own court; a tweet war is so pre-teen.

Its like that scene in Braveheart where the prince is practicing archer from 5 yards out and half the arrows are not even on the target square. "thsummen my war cownsil!"
