  1. United State WAR BIRDS... Honoring The Warriors!

    Ah...the big ole "Thud". It doesn't look like it but it is one HUGE plane when you're standing next to it. I like the picture of the North American F-100 Thunderchief in the back left.

  2. United State WAR BIRDS... Honoring The Warriors!

  4. United State WAR BIRDS... Honoring The Warriors!

    They flew these out of RAF Upper Heyford in the early 70s when I was stationed there.

  5. United State WAR BIRDS... Honoring The Warriors!

    Beautiful bomber. Pressurized crew cabin. The B-29 production program was actually larger and cost more than Project Manhattan. Bell made B-29s at AF Plant 6 in Marietta during WWII.....

  11. **** ME IN THE ASS SOCIAL SECURITY!

    Correct. But the difference is they do it BECAUSE THEY CAN and the dead can't fight back.

  12. I need to vent about an outdoor company

    That's pretty much my experience, that they'll sell you something as "in stock" and then go off an order it from another supplier and then tell you there'll be a delay. Shysters. They've pulled this crap on me three times. No more.

    Yes. the grip coats on it look like from a G2C

  14. I need to vent about an outdoor company
