Our President is convinced the Brits didn't use any enhanced interrogation techniques on captured German spies either. A student of history, he is not! Tears shed, RIP, Arrriba, Arrrriba, Ondelay, Ondelay.....................................................no more!

RIP. Thoughts and prayers for the family of the deceased. Hopes and prayers for a speedy recovery of the survivor.

Beautiful shots, lindr. Thanks very much. Are they some good looking jets or what?

I'd like to make the Bondo sale! Glad the pilot is OK and here's hopes he recovers from his injuries soon.

My wife.................................eat your heart out, guys!

And to you and your family as well.

Happy Birthday.

Aerodynamics be dammned, we're talking about a fine sight for sore eyes..................

Respect due to our comrades-in-arms. Staunch friends and deadly enemies................

Here and there, once upon a time.............................

Congratulations to the PRC Navy.

Had the blessed good fortune to visit the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, VA, near Dulles International this past Sunday. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting and chatting with Curtis Robinson, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen. He flew P-47s with the 332nd Fighter Group in Italy during WWII and was part of the legendary "Red-Tails", feared by the enemy and wanted as escort by every bomber crew in theater. The gentleman is some 90 years old now and probably will not be around much longer, but he still can shoot his own watch with his hands demonstrating air maneuvers. Subsequent to WWII, he became a pharmacist, raised a fine family, and has lived the American dream. He is truely a role model for those to look to when considering drug bums and dudes as an alternative. What luck! Speaking of luck, I also met Major (then Captain)"Chic" Stratton, F-15 jock, who is the reluctant star of the outstanding IMAX movie "Fighter Pilot". You know right away that this guy was all that you might want in a real fighter pilot, low key, unassuming, and clearly confident. Glad he is on our side. Also ran into Buzz Carpenter, SR-71 pilot that I knew when I was stationed down the hall at Beale AFB. We're both older, and fatter, but I've still got more hair than he does. He walked me around the SR-71 at the museum and, I've got to say, that beast is beautiful up close just as much as it is from a distance. It is amazing after all this time that we both fell into insulting each other like it was yesterday when we were 10 feet tall, bulletproof, and fearless. He told me how much faster and prettier his jet was and I told him that my jet was flying operational missions when his jet arrived on the scene and flying operational missions long after his jet had been tossed in the boneyard. We shared a grin, a knowing eye, and lots of memories. As good a Sunday as you can get.

Kelley Johnson, Lockheed designer of the SR-71, once said at the height of the cold war that he could fly the SR-71 to Moscow, land, and hand the keys to the Russians and they would never get it started, much less copy it. He also said the sad part was that, if asked, he probably couldn't either. The Skunk Works crew of technicians were a very special crew of very talented engineers and workers. They were in their forties when they created the Blackbird and were either dead or long-time retired when I heard Kelley speak. I'm slow on the uptake so it took me a while to consider what he had just said and what it meant. You can spend your whole life doing various things, but there are only a few, if any, things you can look back upon and say "I did that??". Make sure the opportunities to do something really worthwhile in your life don't pass you by. It's the good things you remember and cherish.

Don't know if you can use these, but this is a collection of stuff for the Hun I have gathered over the years: Hun_Addons.txt

I remember Joseph and Batia Eyal, Military Attache to Brazil, 1985-1989, as good friends and bad enemies. Speaks pretty much for the Israeli nation. RIP fellow warriors.

I think it runs in Windows 98/ME compatibility mode. You might try to right click on the exe and open the properties. Look at the compatibility tab and the first box open and select Windows 98/ME. Click OK and give it a try again.

Do you mean that it's not the machine, it's the driver..................................................seems to be a common thread!

Beautiful job, Eric. Thanks for your hard work.

Veltro, what magic! Beautiful. You are an arteeest! Ever thought about my poor Tu-128 Fiddler. Nobody seems interested in this magnificent cold warrior and you are so very good at this....................Hope, hope, hope.....

I fell out of my chair laughing at this, Atreides. I think I'll volunteer to walk my neighbors dog behind my Yamaha.........damn rat with long hair!!!!
