National Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day

[MIflyer]

On the WX Channel this morning they reminded everyone that this was National Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day. I assume that the creation of this "holiday" involved some degree of recreational drug use but it did start me to thinking about where I'd like to time travel to.

My first thought was early 1942, where I would have told them to forget about the P-40F and L and put the V-1650-1 in the Mustang while pressing hard for the two stage supercharged V-1650-3 to be installed as soon as possible. And tell GM to forget about fooling with that ridiculous P-75 and focus on cooperating with NAA to build the P-82 early.

But then, thinking again, I decided I'd rather go to Feb 1946 instead and watch my airplane roll off the production line. Tell ERCO I was very interested in buying one and ask if I could take a demo ride in S/N 513. Then tell the airplane, "See you in about 43 years, sweetie."

Tough call...dinosaurs probably

I would go back to 1888 and buy Alois Schicklgruber a package of condoms.

Um, is it a one way trip?

Go back to the morning of November, 1963; then call in a bomb threat: It would alter the motorcade's pathway and save the President's life. It would probably also help end the Cold War earlier and save a lot of lives.

I'd go back to July-August 1945 and make sure a particular persons parents had a condom, and made sure they used it. As for the person, well you can figure that out.

One excellent book on the subject I am reading now for the 3rd time is "Weapons of Choice" by John Birmingham, it should interest most of those on this site. It is part of a trilogy, all excellent, all really well written and researched.

I may use time travel to enrich myself by using lottery numbers and horse racing knowledge.

Or to meet my younger self and advise them of the error of his ways.

If I had to choose saving the world or getting rich quick then I will do as I must.
