The mere fact that you don't have one means you must buy it!:D Best, RG

First, I am not a pilot. My Dad was a co-pilot on B-26 Marauders in WWII, and carried an issued .45. He buried that when he got shot down over France. He came down in acres of plowed fields with no place to run/hide, and the Krauts coming. In Korea he flew H-5, and H-19 helecopters. Again...

Came off the trail on July 20th, 1969. I was 14. That night some of the staff let us into their quarters so we could watch the moon landing. Was a great experience! R.G.

Snapping Twigg, I'm about 1/2 mile away (as the crow flies) on Whitman Way. It shook my building pretty good. Lost power for about 6 hours. CalFire bombers were coming right over me as they came off their bomb runs. Hope all is well with you & family. I know of one resident away on...

Ditto here. Got one yesterday from "MDS". Am ignoring it:D Wish the return envelope didn't require a stamp. Then I'd send their scam crap back to them. Best, RG

Yes, there is. I think it was a Best Western, but that was in 2003. I was there so my Dad (81 at the time), could attend the U.S.A.F. Helicopter Pilots Association re-union at nearby Hill AFB. The Museum is in the old train station, and not to far from the motel we stayed at. Hope this...

It has been kindly pointed out to me that it was 67 years ago, not 68. I had just seen the thread about the Doolittle Raid that was 68 years ago to the day. So much for my proofreading skills:o. Ranger Grant

Sadly, there has been alot of controversy, and "Spirited" discussion as to who actually shot down Adm. Yamamoto's bomber. For many years Capt. Tom Lanphier was given sole credit. The US Air Force re-investigated the claim, and gave half credit to Capt. Lanphier, and Lt. Rex Barber. Many...

68 years ago, April 18th, 1943, 16 P-38 Lightning fighters took off from Fighter Strip 2, Guadacanal, flew 400 plus miles, and shot down Admiral Yamamoto. The mission was made possible as the U.S. had broken some of the Japanese codes, and knew when Adm. Yamamoto would be traveling on an...

I too, have an older S3 Is, and it has served me well for my current photographic needs. I no longer want to carry an SLR with several lenses around. I've seen the model your interested in, and it isn't much smaller than a small SLR. If your willing to carry it around, you may want to go...

Thank you all for the warm welcom:D Best RG

Hi, Long time lurker, finally got off my lazy rear end and registered. As you can see I'm surrounded by liberals in California:eek: Have a M27-2 I bought back in '76, and a M66-1 I picked up used a few years ago. Have shot in USPSC, and IDPA, but not for the last couple of years due to...
