Thanks for the post. I go through Gonzales, Goliad and Refugio quite often in the spring, summer and fall and of course cross Coleto creek along the way. I been to the restored mission in Goliad several times and the Presidio and grave at least once. These accounts will add some more meaning to the next trip.

[SAMWolf]

You're welcome. It does put a whole different perspective on places when you know some of the history behind events that occurred there.

Thanks Johnny.

Good afternoon ladies. A somber Flag-o-gram seems fitting today.

The Rev. Fred Bailey Jr., pastor of A New Beginning Church, leads Navy pallbearers carrying the casket of Petty Officer 3rd Class Ronald Albert Ginther, a Seabee killed in Iraq in May, to the gravesite at Memorial Park Cemetery in Auburndale, Fla., on Tuesday.

I'm seeing conflicting information, whether this is an SU-27 or MiG-29.

Anatoli is also known for his MiG-29 ejection at the 1989 Paris Air Show. While flying he suffered an engine failure that produced Kvotchur’s most spectacular performance. Flying just over 100 miles per hour at an altitude of about 500 feet, the right engine stalled and the Russian pilot had to eject. As his K36DM ejection seat exited the cockpit, the aircraft rolled towards its starboard side and then descended in an almost perfect nose-first vertical attitude. Less than two seconds after Kvotchur punched out, the aircraft crashed to the ground. Kvotchur’s parachute opened fully the moment his feet touched the ground. He suffered only minor injuries during the spectacle.
