    Yes, Cees, THANK YOU!!! Now of course, Cees if we could convince you to start a B-58, we would be oh so in your debt. Then I, of course, with get cracking on my C-46 as well.

    You guys with your 1/48 prop fighters. I told Roy this on FB too, I’d need a magnifier on my magnifier

    So what did The I-16 and I-153 use? US pattern? Brit? German? Or their own?
  5. Clunkmeister
    Yup. But this one was for the flight aware geeks

    There are those civilians who hate the military. They have nothing better to do with their time but to monitor, track, and trace amilitary flight operations via the various GPS flight aware tracking programs and report every transgression, no matter how minor. So, two enterprising Marines took it upon themselves to send an unforgettable and unmistakable message to the losers out there. Of course, one the civilians complained about the “sky penis”, these two Marines, who, according to their Commanding Officer, displayed extremely precise navigation and airmanship skills, were temporarily reassigned to very important ground operational needs for the time being. Lift one high for these two lads. I’m mighty proud of them.

    It only takes one person to have car trouble, run out of fuel, or get impatient and crash, and then a road is blocked for everyone. how incredibly sad.

    Oooooh, raised rivets will be amazing, yes, but this bodes well for glorious things to come!

    Praying, man. Cross posted on 32nd Mafia as well.

    Yes, the lottery is a tax upon the poor. But once, every now and then, when the levels get stupidly stratospheric, I have been known to buy a quick pick with a spare couple of dollars.

    A test of true love, isn't it now. Brings a tear to the eye, it does.

    OH YES! Truly well worn piles of junk is right. And a story to tell with every mile under those wings. That's why I love early Mustangs so much. Especlly the Allison powered versions. They were run till they literally fell to pieces in their revetments.

    At least he didn't say "one of the kids"

    Dang! We don’t get the Beat here, Carl. The smallest Honda available is a Civic, I think. Now I drive 14 Focus I bought new. 155,000 MILES already without a hitch. Great, if unexciting car. Thinking of a Subaru for my next. Might spring for a WRX or, God forbid, I hear the Siren call of the GTi. One way or another, the time is rapidly approaching

    We all have our hobbies. Try explaining my joy of shooting and my antique firearm collection to an anti gun person it’s like trying to put out a volcano by peeing into the crater. Same with fast cars and bikes. I’m ‘mostly’ over the fast car and bike thing, but I live to ride long distances on a bike till my butt is hollering for me to stop and I love 1950s cars. I wish I had the inseam for certain modern BMW motorcycles, but alas, they’re just too tall, so I stick with American life goes on. Until it doesn’t. Then I’m called home

    The only Japanese car I’ve ever owned was a 78 Subaru Brat. I absolutely LOVED that little thing. I couldn’t kill it, even as it rusted out around me. I had that truck buried up to the doorsills in mud, stuck tight. The winch in the front pulled me out, military style. Tied the cable to a tree and pulled myself forward. I went a half mile that way. 150 ft at a time no turning around. Don’t ask me why I got there in the first place.

    What’s crazy is that those little Japanese 4 banger econo boxes will, given the correct bolt on goodies and programs, outrun, outcorner, outbrake, and outperform the best tuned hottest 1960s muscle cars, day after day, hour after hour, year after year, with the A/C on. Technology is a beautiful thing. But.. I’ll still take a rumbling, snorting V8 over a winged dingey sounding little sewing machine motor any day. I may lose, but I’ll look and sound cool doing it. hahahaha. Love you guys!

    Uh oh. Another tire shredder thread. Dad had a notchback bare bones 69 Fairlane 2 door with a 428 SCJ and a shaker scoop that he bought brand new. It was very, very fast, that’s about all I remember other than it would eat the neighbors 67 powered Galaxie 500 for lunch. I still love a Fox body Mustang, though.

    Nice body of work, and it’s great to see you here, sir!
  22. Clunkmeister
    Nice and clean! Well turned out and ready for inspection. Very cool my friend. Very cool. Ernie.
  23. Clunkmeister
    Beautiful result of a very interesting build. Stunning in every way! bravo!
  24. Clunkmeister
    THAT I’ll watch. Politics be damned.

    Agreed on that. We best self moderate on this. (Evil laugh), because you know where it could go with a sligh push from those who aren’t present here. But I, unfortunately see our entertainment industry missing out on massive storytelling and profit opportunities, all in the name of political correctness. To appease your abovementioned 8%. The public loves space. The public loves history. The public loves sci-fi. The public loves most of all space history. Apollo 13 was huge! The Right Stuff was huge. First Man could have been huge. The silly PC decision to edit out the US flag on the moon played as the silly, petty, stupid PC decision it was all over the world, and hurt an otherwise decent film. Then, the way the directors and actors brushed it off as if we were a bunch of redneck fools put the knife in and finished the job. There’s so much space history to be told. I hope to see a world class production of the first man into orbit, Yuri Gagarin. You can bet your britches that I’ll get a lump in my throat and cheer when that rocket leaves the pad, even if the red hammer and sickle are on the side of it. Who cares. It’s space!
