Yeah, in the local vernacular, "Uff-Dah!" best, randy

Not too sure where Avon is but I used to go down many times and see a couple of chums from the Confederate Air Force, Dudley Johnson and "Buck" Rodgers at Rolling Fork. Had a green Bell P-63 King Cobra. And used to be an Air Force base at Greenville, MS. best, randy

In the days of my youth , used to stack flax straw bales for Archie-Daniels Midland at Brewster, MN. best, randy

Good grief, I lose track, when I was still on active duty with the USAF I was stationed at Offutt AFB in Nebraska at one time. Can recall w-a-y up at the far end of the inactive runway 03 (nearest to Bellevue) SAC had several airplanes parked up there and recall once taking a photo while standing near one, a parked B-36. Must be that one that's now at their SAC museum since an overhead photo here on this computer doesn't show anything there. best, randy

Yeah, but that effort to get a Peacemaker" restored fell apart, w-a-y bigger effort than they'd realized at the beginning. best, randy

Chuckle, prolly 250 knots indicated. best, randy

Chuckle, chuckle, we used to do that a lot, I (now ) forget the name of it but we used to do it a lot trying to set off the ADIZ penetration alarms. "Terrain hugging" comes to mind. best, randy

Head shakin' mode some more! ALL aircraft civil/government/whatever using the airways system have T/sponders. best, randy

Head shakin' mode here, depends upon setting the transponder! best, randy
