Yikes....

Thats the exact same thing I said! lmao

OH YEAH, THIS IS MY 1000TH POST!!!!!!!111ONEONE

(sorry Dave, I had to)

In the fifty years Ive been on this planet, Ive learned to take a lot of things in stride and let them go. I like to think of myself as a pacifist.

Its why Ive chosen this screen name and signature. But every time I see film footage of this horrific assault , the tears pour from my eyes, and I try to let it go, but,

MY BLOOD STILL BOILS, and for the life of me I cant repress the need for revenge..

i meant to put a question mark in the original title, as i was skeptikal of the airplane crash reports, my bad

Bad news in the bay area, no details, happening as i type this.

R.I.P. to those lost.

six part video, some nice footage

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=42f_1283307023

ve seen live footage of the capabilities of this system, tail numbers can EASILY be read from 35 miles off, I figure that mistaken identity or friendly fire situations should be eliminated , well, until the human factor is introduced into the equation;.

ciest la veet , ciest la guere

hell, i think i got enough spare parts laying around to build two or three of them,,,,

Gave a friend a ride to his moms house yesterday and on the way we spotted smoke from a brush fire that was approximatly 200 - 300 yards from her house. CDF was on the scene promptly as the fire rapidly began to spread, endangering the houses nearby, and everyone came out and started hosing down all they could reach. Not ten minutes later, an OV-10 bronco (i think) was overhead , yankin and bankin in tight circles( I can just imagine him goin "yeah baby!! woooohooo!!!, at least I would be) A few minutes later the familiar wopping sound of a huey was heard as he came in very low and slow, just skirting the smoke plume with guys in yellow fire gear hanging out each side.

Im guessing they carry the water bucket onboard, because he left the scene for about 5 minutes, returning with it slung beneath him, it was amazing to see the way he maneuvered that chopper in a hard bank , maybe moving 10 miles an hour ground speed and the 2 or so tons of water trying to pull him down, all this maybe 50 feet agl.

then the fun began....

The droning of two turboprops on two seperate air tankers coming at us, AND I MEEN RIGHT AT US! Right down the middle of 13th street at about 100 feet, I could count the freakin rivets. Two boraid drops, spot on target and it was all over but the mop up. DAMN FINE JOB, GENTLEMEN!

I got two things to say and I cant say them enough,

1) we got the best firefighters on the planet

2)Im so jealous of you guys that get to REALLY fly, you know how lucky you are?

thanks

my mom said she saw a news story on cnn of a plane crash involving a race organiser or something , I cant find one shred about this anywhere, can someone fill me in?

EZLEAD, a true airman.

wait a second, I thought I was daves stalker!

>_<

i love mre's and will take all youd care to send me, pm me for shipping address

NEVER EVER!!

So hard to think that for some weeks during a promising summer, my so green, beautiful and peaceful province has been nothing that infernal noise, smoke, ruins of 800-year-old churches, wreckages of flaming tanks, columns of refugees, dead cows everywhere... Like everywhere else in Europe, the soldiers soon left, but the ruins stayed for years.

 

Here at least, the soldiers often come back. Here's a picture of the ceremonies yesterday, with US paratroopers parading in Sainte-Mère-Eglise. If you look closely at the bell tower, you can see a piece of cloth still hanging. The parachute with Private John Steele's dummy (82nd Airborne) hang here all year long and for ever to remember what happened during a famous night.

I can recall going on sunday drives when my dad was stationed in Paris, seeing the bombed out buildings that still remained, a mere 20 years after the war, and playing in old rusted and mangled german staff cars, and the cemetary at Normandy , and the endless white crosses,,,so many crosses,,,

some have speculated that the wheels were somehow locked up, because it went over immediatly on touchdown,,,

Ok the Arab-Israeli topics are getting very serious to the point we need to all take 5 and stand down. So let's get some simming done, agree to disagree peacefully and get back to what we have fun doing. Which is drinking beer and crashing our planes every 6th take off.

 

Can we do that?

every sixth? you noob, i crash EVERY time, lol

must have been getting stick time, since I didnt see any problems,

The poppys have finally bloomed, so the Flanders Memorial Ampitheater is officially open!

Yeah, its just a semi-circular rock wall that Ive built in the back yard for my stereo listening area, but what the hell.

The poppys are for the WW1 boys,,,,

not like the U.S. hasnt reniged on a treaty or anything before,,,,,,,,,,

you know you can play it, right?

war, I despise

Because it means destruction

Of innocent lives

War means tears

To thousands of mothers eyes

When their sons go to fight

And lose their lives

War, it ain't nothing

But a heartbreaker

War, friend only to the undertaker

War, It's an enemy to all mankind

The point of war blows my mind

War has caused unrest

Within the younger generation

Induction then destruction

Who wants to die?

war, has shattered

Many a young mans dreams

Made him disabled, bitter and mean

Life is much to short and precious

To spend fighting wars these days

War can't give life

It can only take it away

Peace, love and understanding

Tell me, is there no place for them today

They say we must fight to keep our freedom

But Lord knows there's got to be a better way,,,,

(Edwin Starr)

no disrtespect is intended to any who have fallen or any who activly serve, this is just how I feel about war.
