That's serious heritage. What's the sale about? Maybe family dying off? Sad, but that's often what changes it all when the founding generation passes on. Do you know; is that it?

ColdWarrior, you really boosted my flying confidence with THAT one. Ho-Boy! :jumpin:

Whoa, that IS very cool. I'm guessing you have the special equipment to do this all with. Or is the equipment something you can rent?

i'm hoping you consider starting a travelogue thread for your daughter and her "rolling home" so we can all send our good wishes and support. This has been a great thread, and an interesting enterprise.

I like how you're not hesitant to tackle the rough spots, jpg; more power to you. I wish I had some wisdom to lend, but I'm no expert (other than recognizing the old bromide that "rust never rests", and "ain't" that a drag). You go, though, Brother! [thumbzup]

So, the announcement is Official? I mean, pretty hard to miss the outcome from the graph and all, but: - Isn't there a parade, and some fireworks, children shouting, ladies crying, and everything!?

That's great; congratulations on the award. I like how you dressed the part, and even bloused the boondockers; outstanding! [thumbzup]

Welcome to Steel Soldiers, HD. Glad you're on-board. I'm not a part of your area, but I just like knowing what's "going on" (kind of nosey, I guess :mrgreen: ) Do you know the history of Haspin Acres, like who is the owner and why it's for sale?

I like the personalized "name tag"; nice touch! [thumbzup]

She'll be SOOO sweet; your own Deuce. You're plenty fired up, "ain't" you, Aussie!?

That's some real rodeo flying video you found, kahuna. And by the looks of the buildings in the background it's all the same city. Remind me not to book any flights in or out of THERE. Yikes!

Is that a cry for assistance, a Mayday?

That might be the closest thing to landing without actually landing that I've ever seen!

I never heard or read anything about the details of the Pacific air war, until seeing this very video. And I'm not sure why but just never ran across it (not even having read Karen Hillenbrand's "Unbroken"). So Iwo held the airfields for the escorts (P-51), and the other islands were marshaling...

Wow. I bet that sure enough was a special day; very cool.

You make it sound like that was easy, red. Was it that simple to pull all that wire out?

That makes it a forecast for (5) days out. I sure hope the forecast holds good, but even in the year 2015 a weather forecast, even for a 24-hour outlook, is dicey. You want to read a good story, read the story about the allied weather forecaster responsible for D-Day in Normandy. Talk about a...

And also don't forget, most important to add here also, of course: - That all this happens and naturally, you left your phone at home.

I wonder, is that a: - Right-side of the brain, or a - Left-side of the brain Kind of decision!?

If it's not too inconvenient, pictures of any kind are always appreciated by us riff-raff. Hoping you all have a ball! :beer:
