News here.
It is considered impolite to speak ill of those who have passed away, so I will refrain from any comments at this time.

Don’t You Eat That Yellow Snow…..

February 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · General

We had a bit’o weather this past weekend.  We ended up with just under 21″ of snow.  For some of you out there, that might be a light dusting, but for us it is in the Top Ten of all time for this area.  Add that to the 16″-plus we had in December and the [...]

U2 Carrier Landings

February 3rd, 2010 · 11 Comments · General

Back in the 60’s a test program was established to see how US aircraft would/could operate off aircraft carriers.
USS America (CV-66) was used, as was USS Ranger (CV-61) and Kitty Hawk.  This film shows that you can land almost ANYTHING on a carrier, if you wanted to/needed to.

From Aerospace Web:
The idea started in the late [...]

Sunrise….Start of a New Day, 2 Feb 2010

February 2nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · General

Virginia Beach.  Cold and snowy.  The last time it snowed this much there I was climbing into the backseat of F-14s.

They have this HUGE statue of King Neptune down there on the beach – pretty neat.  Only bad thing is the beast was cast in…yep, you guessed it…China.

Some cool reflections of the sunrise on the [...]

Virginia Beach Snow

January 31st, 2010 · 4 Comments · General

Down here in Va Beach (also known as one of the world’s largest summer resort areas – not ski areas) for a business conference tomorrow and they had about half a foot of snow yesterday – the most snow they’ve had in 20 years, they say. Here’s a pic from the 8th floor of [...]

State of the Union Reax

January 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment · General

More later, I hope, but initial reaction? Decidedly “Un-presidential” and uninspiring…to the max.  STILL blaming Bush, STILL thinking the American public are a bunch of rubes who don’t recognize a crap sandwich when they see it and STILL lying about everything under the sun.   This administration is destined for at BEST the low end of [...]

We’re In The BEST of Hands!

January 26th, 2010 · 6 Comments · General

With leadership like this how can anyone doubt we have a firm, strong, decisive, assured, intelligent, competent and courageous Commander in Chief?
In other words, if you can’t make a speech in an elementary school without your teleprompters, what CAN you do?
Terrorists and evil-doers quake….quake, I tell you, when they see this display of Obamaitis.
(and no, [...]

John Edwards

January 21st, 2010 · 4 Comments · General

I had a huge screed about 3/4 done slamming Edwards for his epic and galactic hypocrisy with regards to his lying about his affair and fathering of the baby with Rielle Hunter, but figured why bother?  I don’t think there has been anyone in history who has fallen so far so fast, simply by their [...]
