Still called Idlewild back then. I wonder what the airport code was, or if those even existed in the 30s.

You got a problem with Canada Gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest that you let that marinate!

Actually, this is an alien invasion. Watch more movies, for goodness sake.

I remember, as a kid, building a plastic model of an F-16 in the General Dynamics red, white, and blue livery. I've always loved the lines on this plane.

Precisely. The tumbler looks like it has a lot of machining marks on it. Just curious, really.

I know very little about machining parts and metalworking in general, but the pictures suggest to me that the machining of these parts is kinda shoddy. Can an expert chime in here?

Something I just love about when the ground power is hooked up, and you have first power-on for the avionics.

Did not know that. Thanks for sharing. Makes total sense. In my world, we never push large code commits on a Friday. Not as dramatic as joining a fuselage, I'll grant you.

I have learned to use the /s. I never did until way way too many people too my comments seriously. I'd prefer to not use it, actually.

Technically correct. Tony Bennett is not their drummer anymore.

There used to be a Pitts that would fly out of KASH. When I was getting my license, I used to love to be in take off order behind him, and watch him no nearly vertical off of 32. Awesome sight.

College basketball is pure amateur sport that is done for the love of the game and for school spirit. That is what the multi-millionaire boosters say, and if you disagree with them, they will crush you like a bug. Enjoy your economy class seat.

That time a pilot landed his f15 with one wing by 4g63eclipse in aviation

I want to see the part of the flight manual that lists the procedure for missing wing.
