We gotta look out for those spotted owls too.

Hate to report this. Hoping to generate some out-of-town prayers. This happening to anyone is an atrocity but vet's have a place here. An old man and young cowards.

From the article; "Friends and family described Silva as an avid hunter and 'walking naval historian.' They said he was a Vietnam veteran, carrier pilot and catapult officer. At one point, he flew F-8U Crusaders, one family member said."

Ditto!

[Leo Tanner]

He is in my prayers.  That is just terrible.

[Steel Horse Bailey]

More prayers to Mr. Silva.

[Delmonico]

Prayers up from here.

On a happier note, found this on the local so called paper's website:

Del, That's a great story about the B-29. I happen to be a member of the Stretegic Air Museum group. I would love to see it in person. Maybe sometime then I come up there for a visit, can go out there and look it over.

Well I see Tom Brocaw and some folks in LA are not to happy about Endevor.  400 trees seems like a small amount for History. Especially since it will generate Millions more$$$ in the community in  replacement cost and tourism shares. Wake up liberals trees are replaceable.

Why does anyone care what Brocaw does or doesn't like?

He's a robot programmed to hypnotize folks with his voice.  He's put me to sleep many times.

He needs to be put to sleep.

[Leo Tanner]

He needs to be put to sleep.

Leo, They are having a big shindig at the Planes of Fame museum at Chino in a few days. They are going to fly the "Flying Wing" and the first American jet, the P-59.

My grandfather worked for Northrop and had early scetches of the flying wing.  I wish I still had them they was perty old.

My mom worked for Northrop & Hughes.
She got laid off from Northrop in '69 and went to Hughes in '73, she retired from there in '94. She had "special BG clearances to curry the flight data from the jets testin' missiles. Mostly went to White Sands & Eggland. Most depts left So Cal & went to Tuscon, she opted to take an' early out.

Miz Letty, My Dad was training at Eglin Field when Doolittle's Raiders were training for the Raid. After the Raid, the Raider outfit was reformed and transfered to the 12th Air Force and sent to North Africa in 42, along with with Dad.

[mestiza letty]

Lost one of my uncles in No. Africa during the war...ambush 

[litl rooster]

My dad was also stationed at Eglin, only in the early 50's he talked about Doolittle being there

It's amazing what you can do with a Louisville Slugger to the kneecaps.
