Anyone see if it was a #3 wire trap?

[Howlin]

The link in #47.

Darn it, I'm at work and the stupid phone keeps ringing. GRRRRRRRRR!!!

2nd plane landing .. another COD

[PhiKapMom]

I am really nervous about this -- I know his pilot is the #1 from the Squadron but I have heard all sorts of things from daughter about the plane! She has assured me that this Viking is the best of the best!

[Howlin]

But are you drooling?

[finnman69]

another COD coming in...

[Wphile]

Check out that photo that Mo1 posted of him in San Diego. His smile is as big as mine!

[Guenevere]

Same here.....I said forget shopping....I've got to get home.

I'm so nervous I've already gone through a bag of M & M's and started on raisin cookies...

[heckler]

Thanks, its just amazing that that beast could get off that deck without rockets.

Great to see the newscoverage on Fox of my President getting his (Sham)rocks off. Freepers you will see the great sailors in the fleet at work today the ABH(Airdales). Makes me wish I was back out in the fleet.

" CNN is, too. They made a BIG DEAL out of the fact that The Dubya "has been equipped with an AIRSICKNESS BAG."

Guess CNN never saw any pictures of the Bushs in their Fountain, powering around in the Atlantic swells off the Maine coast.Bush is used to chop. Miles O'Brien on CNN-he "bets" if a poll was taken on the USS Abraham Lincoln-most would rather get home more quickly,than see the President.CNN just can't help themselves.

What is a COD????? (I feel so un-hip that everyone seems to know this except me.......)

[azGOPgal]

He does look excited. I'm so glad that he can enjoy this and be smiling again. I love the thumbs up from Dubya.
