I had a rough morning. I put pepper on my waffles instead of cinammon (same shaped bottle), then my feet stuck to the shower mat. The suction cups were on top.:oops: Gremlims at work.

NS - I like that boat. It looks like a top'sl Ketch with a sloop type rig aft. Is there a name to it? One of my Academy roomates, and my younger brother live aboard similar boats, by choice.

VANITY FAIR : FEATURES : GENERAL 9/11 Live: The NORAD Tapes How did the U.S. Air Force respond on 9/11? Could it have shot down United 93, as conspiracy theorists claim? Obtaining 30 hours of never-before-released tapes from the control room of NORAD's Northeast headquarters, the author...

The last dogfight between biplane fighters Håkans Aviation page - Gloster Gladiators and Fiat CR.42s over Malta 1940-42 Here's an interesting link about the WW II fight for Malta. I once read a novel about this when I was very young, say, 50 years ago, and I cant remember the title...

I'm surprised they actually DID make what can pass as a modern fighter. I've met a few Iranians OUTSIDE Iran, and they are decent folks blessed with a high intelligence, including flight crews on layovers. One of our son's had one as a dorm roomate, who was top man academically in his class...

In Brick NJ it has been raining hard for 2 days, floods everywhere, in The Garden State on The Jersey Shore. 77*F, 93% RH.

Cheeze! My cigar problem seems like no problem at all, compared to what I have just read. Good luck with them.

How about the Lockheed Constellation? I believe it saw duty in WWII as a transport. It was designed to outrun the ZERO at altitude re-supplying the Chinese Army. Navy Designation R7V, I flew them in VR-7A at Tachikawa AFB 1962-1985. We were primarily Med Evac, but handled troops and general...

The Webmaster just reminded me that I have not posted, and warned me that I will be deleted unless I contribute. Sorry Gent's, I'll stay and contribute. At 74 my memory isn't the best, DUH!
