I came across an article over on Military.com and thought it should be shared as widely as possible. It seems that Congress had a decent thought for a change and has directed the USAF to delay the retirement of its U-2 reconnaissance jets for a while longer. They’re still great jets with over 100 projected [...]  I said I’d knock out this post and I meant it There’s a whole bunch of pictures, so I hope it’s not too long for everyone Monday started with a trip up to Carrol Shelby’s place in the hopes of a meal in his diner. Sadly, it’s been closed for a few months even [...] Yeah, I should’ve done a bit of photography today. I screwed up and I know it’s my own damn fault. Hopefully, this short video from a while back might at least partially redeem me I’ve said before that I’m an associate member of the Road Runners Internationale, but it’s been a while. I missed their [...] Here are a few from today. After I dropped the Missus off in Palmdale, I stopped by the house to get my camera. The house was already on the card.

Anyone else remember the years before the F-117 Nighthawk was publicly revealed? I do.
