I thought those Hunters were interesting. I think they are used as simulated sea-skimming missiles to train the US Navy. Great work if you can get it.

Think it's pretty much in 'flu territory. Remember the huge death toll of the 1918 'flu? now just a non-mandatory annual jab. It's hard to exterminate us.

Cheers CP, I think you are right about China on both counts ...but in the interim.... Old Homer still doing his stuff... This is a little less common. Along with this. And a very big drone.

I agree so much, Marty! That is the reason I am always coming back here.

Another concept that will never see the light of day.

Thank you all for your comments :)

Given their global debt, the Americans can't even afford new laces for their sneakers, let alone 100 of the bowls US Trade Deficit is at a current level of 65.50B, down from 68.28B last month and down from 80.85B one year ago. This is a change of -4.08% from last month and -18.99% from one year ago. Wow, the US is less broke than last year? I am relieved. Apart from a few postage stamp states in the Pacific, is there anyone in the world to whom the USA is not in debt?

No, he was part of the next group 'the new nine' along with Lovell, Armstrong, Young, Stafford etc

Now THAT's a landing gearset

I hate to say it, but it looks like CP knows his trunnions... Mike, what a great link ...cheers.

Answer away... fascinating trying to outguess Who does What.

Yes, at the airshows when they head over towards the lake I always imagine them just like that. A beautiful shot.

Totally agree - and Jimmy Page also thought so, if his face was anything to go by, at the performance.

Dad is directing the group photo and says "Give Peef the camera, he takes a good photo" and the rest of us chorus "It depends what side of the camera he's on". :lol: :lol: too funny .. you guys need a TV show !!

magnificent fluffies. Em, wars have been started on lesser pretext, Mr. 'Pin! :lol:

One of NZs greats. An amazing life with a lot of tragedy too.

Black and blue :thumbup: and mebbe... Grey?? :o

A few of the Ex ATR CC were posting about the displays on one of the social media machines

Cheers, guys, that shot came about when my son and his wife took the baby on holiday to Queenstown so he could experience snow. He was not yet two at the time. In his two short years he's travelled a lot more than I have in my (mumble mumble) years. He's been to LA, Canada, and now had a winter break in Queenstown. I decided to pull out the 'luxury' H145 and take a blat just to see what it would be like to have more money than sense.

Will try again tomorrow to get to the museum.... life is just a giant cluster f*** at the moment.
