Sunday. A day for rest. ;-)
Cool!
I've seen the Messerschmidt car before, but not the DC-3 truck.
You're right. Kadet ;-)
Thanks Grzegorz 246. The B-17 is one plane I can never see enough pictures of.
Hard to believe men ever fought with that equipment and in those uniforms.
The B-17 is a beautiful plane!
Magnificent armor!
Lt. Morgan refused to take 4-F for an answer and went to Canada--not to dodge the war, but to join it.
He stayed cool-headed in combat and put his life in jeopardy to save his crew.
He refused his superior's order to end his flying, and stayed in the fight with his fellows.
He did not seek award or recognition, but accepted same modestly.
His story is an inspiration.
Kerry on the other hand tried to dodge Vietnam by studying in Paris, then fabricated three purple hearts for an easy-out--
--so he could work with Jane Fonda for Communist victory.
Kerry, putting the enemy's interest ahead of America's.
Good evening Phil.
Not that we need reminders but threads like we see here do remind us what real heroes look like and it's nothing like J f'ng Kerry.
Evening Phil Dragoo.
We just watched "Siege at Firebase Ripcord". We heard of men who had 18 months "in country" and of one that was wounded 7 times in the course of the battle and had to be ordered Medivaced.
A lot different than 4 months and 3 scratches to go home. Kerry isn't fit to shine the shoes of men like this much less be the Commander in Chief of them.
It always amazes me the number of controls, swicthe, instrumments and levers that are in the cockpit of a plane. I don't think I'd ever be able to figure them all out.
Kerry broke the rules?!?! I'm shocked!
BTT!!!!!!!
