As a former aviation safety officer in the Marines, one of the most moving guest speakers I ever heard was a gentleman who came to talk to us at one of our quarterly safety standdowns. The first thing I noticed about this gentleman as he approached the stage was that he walked with a terrible...

Great post. Thank you for sharing. My first thought this morning when I woke up was about of all those young men who woke up that morning knowing that many would not make it through the day. I've been to Normandy when I was very young and yet I still remember it like it was yesterday. Walking...

Glad you and you're son were able to walk away in one piece Chip. Very fortunate indeed. Had enough close calls of my own and more than a few of my friends are no longer around. Many people often ask me why I don't fly as a job anymore and it's stories like yours I wish they could read. Maybe...

My B&R before my girlfriend absconded with it. She didn't even know what it was other than "it was a super cool looking watch". So now she wears it every day and I'm trying to find a new daily replacement. Thinking of trying a U-Boat. I know they are rather "new" in the watch industry but they...

Loved the video. The sound of those big Pratt and Whitney engines never gets old. Thanks for sharing.

That's awesome.

Great pictures Chip. I too worry about our future. A sad day indeed.

This is awesome. I'd love to see a video of it where you get to hear that big air cooled radial up front.:thumbsup (the T-34 would also be a cool airplane to get time in...someday I will get my tail dragger cert)

If you can find the German theatrical version, I believe it's around 4 to 5+ hours. Excellent movie and is probably the most most realistic movie on WWII submarine warfare.

I agree with everything you have stated GT38. Yes, my training saved my butt on a few occasions and for that I have to thank all my former instructors. I was also fortunate to be an instructor for a couple years before I got out and one of the things that greatly concerned me was that the new...

Interesting that they never mentioned the possibility of vertigo in that whole synopsis. From me, the loss of airspeed indication, the fact the one of the copilots kept pulling the control stick back, they were "in the goo" and that they obviously had been concentrating on other things until...

Great pics!

Yep, that looks right up my alley. I can even wear my flight helmet and goggles.:biggrin

These cars just keep getting better and better each year. I'm definitely curious to see what's up Ford's sleeve for the next generation Mustang.

Happy Birthday Waldo. :usa

It was always unnerving for me to go on an external load lift as a passenger in the 53 and to sit in the back and watch the tail boom flexing when lifting heavy loads. It's an extremely sad situation what happened in Reno. The findings will be interesting but as has already been stated, flutter...

Cool story! I can't imagine a celebrity doing things like that today. In our pampered society he would be crucified in the media.

Cool pics GT38!

Great find! A must watch for aviation aficionados. Thanks for posting, I shared the link on my FB page.:thumbsup

Cool pics!
