Hey Seawolf. I agree with you comment about Michael Moore. If there ever was an arguement FOR birth control, all you have to do is think of Michael Moore. What a waste of human flesh. Navy Chief

As a veteran of the Vietnam Era, I thought this picture and article might arouse the ire of some of you who lived through that time. Senator Kerry's military record is to be commended, but his actions afterward are not (in my opinion) indicative of someone who deserves to be our Commander In Chief. The following article is from the Rush Limbaugh website: A photo seemingly showing Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry protesting the Vietnam War with anti-American actress "Hanoi Jane" Fonda - the photo Dems fear most - exists, and has been obtained by NewsMax.com. On Labor Day weekend 1970, Kerry - then a rising star with Vietnam Veteran Against the War - teamed up with Fonda as the two headlined an ugly anti-war in rally in Valley Forge, Pa., railing against U.S. policy in Southeast Asia from the back of the same flatbed truck. The photo shows "Hanoi Jane" listening raptly as speakers denounced American soldiers for committing "genocide" in Vietnam and accusing the U.S. of "international racism." Three rows behind 'Hanoi Jane" sits a man who bears a striking resemblance to the Democratic presidential front-runner. According to Corbis Images, which owns the image, the photo was taken at the same 1970 Valley Forge protest that turned Sen. Kerry into an anti-war star. Douglas Brinkley's biography "Tour of Duty" chronicles Kerry's exploits at Valley Forge, where he reportedly followed Fonda onto the back of that pick-up truck to deliver his own diatribe against the war in Vietnam. "We are here because we above all others have earned the right to criticize the war on Southeast Asia," Kerry shouted into the microphone, as Fonda and the crowd cheered wildly. "By the time [Kerry] hopped off that pick-up truck to thunderous applause," writes Brinkley, "he was the new leader of the VVAW by popular default." The Massachusetts Democrat's speech also cemented his alliance with Fonda, and the two traveled to Detroit to organize a January 1971 event they called the "Winter Soldier Investigation." At a Detroit motel, Kerry and Fonda assembled a myriad of disgruntled witnesses claiming to be Vietnam vets, each with his own story of American atrocities. According to Jug Burkett, whose landmark Vietnam war history "Stolen Valor" chronicles some of Kerry's anti-war misadventures, Fonda played a key role at the Detroit event. "There's no doubt that Jane Fonda financed the Winter Soldier hearings," Burkett told NewsMax on Monday. He said that several of the witnesses who testified at the protest's "hearings" later turned out to be complete impostors. The event prompted "Hanoi Jane" to "adopt" Kerry's group "as her leading cause," writes Brinkley. It was at Kerry's Winter Soldier protest that the anti-American actress met her future husband, Students for a Democratic Society radical Tom Hayden. The next year Fonda was off to Hanoi, where she mounted an anti-aircraft battery and pretended to shoot down American pilots. Of Kerry, Burkett told NewsMax, "Any Vietnam veteran who knows what Kerry did after he came home from Vietnam is definitely not a fan of John Kerry." Navy Chief

That's ok; I can relate to the situation. My wife gets more than a little angry at me for spending so much time, playing flight simulator. The thing is, I could be involved with a lot of worse things on the computer, i.e. chat rooms, porn, etc....; but I'm not. Of course she is convinced that I am doing just that. And so, the battle goes on. Navy Chief

Flight of the Intruder is the only book by Coonts that I have read, but I truly enjoyed it. Not surprisingly, the movie was a disappointment. Oh, it was ok, but not nearly as suspenseful as the book. Navy Chief

You are quite correct, Buff! And, for the record, the "Hash" part of HHH has NOTHING to do with drugs. It is a world wide group that labels themselves, "A Drinking Club With A Running Problem". I don't drink anymore, but if I did, I would be looking to join a local HHH club. Nothing but fun! And MORE fun! GREAT times! Go read up on them at: http://www.gthhh.com/ Have a great Navy Day.

I found this picture today, while searching through pictures/info about NAS Agana, Guam. I was with VQ-1 from 1993-1997, until I retired. The first ten months I spent with the squadron was on Guam. VQ-1 was the squadron who had an aircraft and crew taken hostage by the Chinese, when they forced the aircraft to land after colliding with one of their fighter aircraft. It was the best ten months of my life. Outstanding beaches, cheap beer, and great parties. Also ran a few cross-country runs with the local HHH chapter. Anyone out there know what that stands for?

Well, if one of you folks wants to buy it, I can keep the ejection seat, On Board Oxygen Generating System, and aircond/pressurization system in working order! The F/A-18 was the last tailhook aircraft I worked on. Navy Chief

Hey PC Pilot Let me do some checking. Perhaps I can find something for you. Thanks! Navy Chief

Thanks Jinks! I am speechless! A reply email is forthcoming to you, my good friend. Many thanks. Navy Chief

There was a documentary about this movie on tv last week. "The Blues Brothers" really is a classic. I didn't know it until I watched the documentary, but apparently the chase scenes in Chicago were filmed at actual speeds. Those cars were racing through the streets at over 100 miles per hour! Saturday Night Live has NEVER been as funny as when Dan Ackroyd, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and John Belushi were in the cast. Not even close. Navy Chief

I received this today. Barney Fife; a true American hero! Heh, heh, heh.... Navy Chief

Hey shipmate, I will have your daughter in my prayers today. Keep up the positive thoughts. Navy Chief

Hey, you're right, Seawolf......it's a Yankee alright. But believe me, it is something you would defiinitely see in GA. Hey, when we gonna fly MP on the Bio Server....FS9? NC

Living in Georgia, I wouldn't be surprised to see this on the road. Heh, heh.... Navy Chief

PG Raptor, "If you're not a liberal before 20, you don't have a heart. If you're not conservative before 40, you don't have a brain." So true, SO TRUE! Navy Chief

No, you can fly any aircraft you wish, but if the people you are online with do not have the same aircraft in their directory, then it will not show correctly what you are flying on their screen. No big deal. NC

I agree with you, Dagger. Kids nowadays won't know who Capt. Kangaroo was, but I too, feel a part of my childhood is gone forever. You know, we all go down the same path eventually. No escaping that. However, when someone like Capt. Kangaroo dies, we are reminded of our own mortality. God Bless you, Capt. You enriched so many lives. Mine, for one. Navy Chief Here is what the AP wire article said: Capt. Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan, dead at 76 Bob Keeshan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By AP Bob Keeshan, who gently entertained and educated generations of children as television's walrus-mustachioed Captain Kangaroo, died Friday at 76. Keeshan died of a long illness, his family said in a statement. Keeshan's "Captain Kangaroo" debuted on CBS television in 1955 and ran for 30 years before moving to public television for six more. The program was wildly popular among children and won six Emmy Awards, three Gabriels and three Peabody Awards. The format was simple: Each day, Captain Kangaroo, with his sugar-bowl haircut and uniform coat, would wander through his Treasure House, chatting with his good friend Mr. Green Jeans, played by Hugh "Lumpy" Brannum. He would visit with puppet animals, like Bunny Rabbit, who was scolded for eating too many carrots, and Mr. Moose, who loved to tell knock-knock jokes. But the show revolved about the grandfatherly Captain Kangaroo, whose name was inspired by the kangaroo pouch-like pockets of the coat Keeshan wore. "I was impressed with the potential positive relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, so I chose an elderly character," Keeshan said.

I was flying the other night on the bio server, when it went offline. Hasn't been back up since. NC

I know that with FS Navigator you can file multiple locations. Navy Chief

The Tomcat was finally added to FS2004, and it is a beauty. Navy Chief

Get it, you won't be sorry!!!! I have so much fun with this sim. The graphics are awesome, and the ability to fly multiplayer is so easy. Just the other night, I flew a hop with four other guys in Germany, and it was a blast - talking to them, and enjoying the view. You will find it amazing! Navy Chief

No, it's not, and it definitely left a mark too! Navy Chief

My favorite aircraft to fly is the EA-6B Prowler. Unfortunately, I had somewhat of a rough landing today on the USS JFK. The Maintenance Master Chief nearly had a stroke, and me? I went below to change my shorts! Navy Chief

Oh come on, lighten up, would ya? Geez. NC
