[Jvette]

Love Holloman, spent two years there, 1972-1974 when my dad was serving in Vietnam.

Never knew any of the particulars about the base though.

Thanks for the info.

May God bless and keep our troops safe.

I was there visiting on two different weekends last October. Here’s a link to some photos I took of the Freedom Park aviation there:

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Hi All From DnUnDa!Our Guys Playing With A Brit Pilot.

There's Tailgating Then There's Tailgaiting!

A British Royal Air Force Typhoon pilot flies up to the back door of a C-130 (Hercules) for a photo opportunity.

He radios, "How much closer do you want me?"

They radio, "How much closer can you get?"

Pilot Radios, Close enough?

You have to be a tad mad to be a fighter pilot in today's world! but, even crazier to be a photographer looking down those sucking intakes!

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Kathy! And thanks very much to you and Lauren for tonight's Road Trip to Holloman AFB, New Mexico!

*HUGS*

I had a few business trips out to the Land of Enchantment in the early 80's but never made it to Holloman. My New Mexico experience is confined to a few days in Albuquerque and a few days in Santa Fe. I liked Santa Fe - stayed at a hotel known as La Fonda - wonderful!

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...how are daughter and baby doing? Prayers for everybody’s good health.

[ConorMacNessa]

G'Day, Sky! I had something that looked like that crawling up my tailpipe last night! I was in the right lane of I-95 doing over 80 mph and I still wasn't going fast enough for him!

Welcome to the Canteen, Portcall24. Very cool pictures.
I want to take some time when I get home from work.

We thank you for your service to our country.

Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))

Mostly sunny today but can't say the same for the mainland. Only got through to two out of five yesterday which worries me a bit.

Hilo? You never know what coming over the horizon but with a practiced eye looking in the right direction, one can tell how much time before it gets to ya.

Problem is having to stand outside and watch and not be caught shipping.

SEATTLE CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL

Monday, July 2, 8 PM Pacific (11 PM Eastern)

Broadcast live at KING-FM

Beethoven: Variations for Violin, Cello and Piano in E-flat, Op. 44
Erin Keefe, violin
Edward Arron, cello
Jeewon Park, piano

Edward and Jeewon are married, and I’ve had delightful conversations about chamber music with Edward. I also know Erin quite well. These are three great musicians, and this will be the first time I’ve heard this piece.

Bartok: Sonata #1 for Violin and Piano, Sz. 75
James Ehnes, violin
Jon Kimura Parker, piano

Jimmy is the new Artistic Director of the festival, and he is one of the world’s great violinists. I count Jimmy and his wife Kate as friends, and they have a brand new daughter. Jackie is a wonderful virtuoso with a great sense of humor. This piece will be rough on the ear, and this will be the first time I’ve heard it

Brahms: Quintet for Piano and Strings in F minor, Op. 34
Marc-Andre Hamelin, piano
Andrew Wan, violin
Karen Gomyo, violin
David Harding, viola
Bion Tsang, cello

I know David and Bion. For those who followed my Brahms series at the Canteen, I went into this piece in detail. It is one of the great warhorses of the repertory and a real crowd pleaser. Enjoy!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Publius! Thanks very much for the info - sadly, I will be heading for Boudoir MacNessa in a matter of minutes - the usual 0500 call.

Good evening, yarddog, and thanks for the additions to our road trip.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...feeling any better today?

Hope work went ok. I’m heading home now.
