[Wphile]

I'm eating pretzels.... : )

[Mrs.Liberty]

Is that local nbc feed going to show the landing?

[heckler]

Cool, thanks for the info. I guess my memory sux.

If this was Clinton, he'd be calling the radio station in San Diego complaining that Rush was on the whole time he was in the air :)

[Howlin]

See my 375!

It works for me!

FOX is superb today. One interesting and informative segment after another. I can catch the excitement in the reporters' voices with my excited ears!

[RooRoobird14]

Some people (like Dark Templar) just love to be the center of attention in the most negative way possible. It's a form of malignant narcissism.

[goodnesswins]

Less than 10 minutes!!!!!

This from Wash Times!

But later in the day, Mr. Bush playfully left open the possibility that he would take the controls of the plane. "Never can tell what's going to kick in — the urge," he told reporters in the Oval Office. "Let me just say: Stay clear of the landing pattern."

[Inspectorette]

I think "affection" is putting it mildly. Even Howard Fineman said that the military "adores" President Bush, as they "abhorred" the Sink Emperor.

[nicmarlo]

Thank you....I wish I could watch....maybe C-SPAM will play this tonight???

In a test of the venerable and versatile C-130's suitability to support the Navy, a C-130F was equipped with an antiskid braking system and landed on the U.S.S. Forrestal. Footage courtesy Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company. We also have a companion Sighting of the Hercules taking off from the Forrestal. What comes down must go up.
