U-2 Reconnaissance Jets Still Flying

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 [...]

Did ya see dirty harry get a free pass?

Dirty, Dingy harry got a pass from the magic negro on the comment from a book back when the baracky was the junior senator from the socialist thug republik of illinois. Had it been a middle ground democrat or a republican, all hell would have broken loose. Bank on it.
The dirtbag known as harry reid [...]

Detroit – A.K.A. A Cautionary Tale for the Rest of America

Detroit.  Motown.  Home to the American car industry and culture.
Well, at least it used to be.
These days, the average price of a home in Detroit is only $5,700 which might sound nice until you find out why.  Sure, you’re kids will have more money lavished on them for their education than you’d ever think you [...]

AND PEOPLE STILL WONDER WHY I WOULD HOME SCHOOL…

OK, so I was reading The Jawa Report today and my jaw just about hit the floor as my head threatened (once again) to explode.  I’ve gotten pretty used to outrage lately, but this one was a bit over the top.
From the Las Vegas Review Journal:
A Northwest Career and Technical Academy teacher is accused of [...]

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 [...]

Archive Video A Day – 25 November 2009 – Gear Down at Mach 3.2

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 [...]

On the lighter side

Since the news as reported is a bit on the fugly side, I will refer back to Jeff’s posting of a rather pristine, sexy Attack Guppy. Otherwise know as a T-2B for sale for some ungodly amount of money. As the pictures showed, it had new stuff in the panel that was not standard equipment. [...]

Arizona Road Trip In 2010?

Everyone knows I’m a pretty big fan of Hogjaw and their music.  What’s not to like?  Great guys and incredible music is a pretty good combination to my way of thinking   After listening to Two Guns on their myspace page and having heard about the place from Glenn and JB, I’ve got this [...]

Robin Olds was a fighter ace who fought in WWII and Vietnam.  With thirteen victories in WWII and four in Vietnam, Robin Olds was a damn good fighter pilot.  He was a legend in the Air Force. Sadly, Robin Olds passed away in 2007.  He is buried at the U.S. Air Force Academy in [...]

The Battle of Palmdale – 1956

During the days of the Cold War, there was an air battle over the skies of Southern California which very few people remember or have even heard of.  It was the Battle of Palmdale.
Back in 1956, the Navy was using remotely controlled F6F Hellcats as targets (yes, it still sickens me even though I know [...]
