if you have a good scanner in So Cal, tune to 271.0, set it in AM mode and listen to Norad intercept Air France flight 68, due at LAX 515pm

two F16s from AZ current refueling off Pacific

I think you are correct

I really enjoyed watching all the AF jets fly over my house as a kid in the "60's when the base was still operating, especially the B-52's.

My parents had a beach cottage in Destin in the mid 60s, and I remember swimming in the Gulf and watching B52s, B58s and several types of fighters flying over (low) every day (Eglin AFB)! I loved it!

Great thread! Needs to go in the thread hall of fame!

This writer thought we'd possibly shot down an Air France jet filled with passengers for awhile tonight. Please be charitable.

Being served out of New Zealand probably didn't speed anything up, LOL.

First one I owned. Bought it on a Saturday; read a notice on the following Monday -- it was being discontinued. lol

LOL, I missed that. Very funny stuff. Almost like intentional sabotage.

[nuffsenuff]

Was that before or after the Commodore 64?

[nuffsenuff]

I had one of those!! I had completely forgotten about that thing!!

I'm saying a prayer for you. Good luck and God speed (that stone).

Damn! I always wanted one of those so bad. The Tandy CoCo ran at a sizzling .89 MHz (sizzling in the figurative AND literal sense), and could be 'overclocked' believe it or not to 1.78 MHz. Wild stuff.
