Early Times. I bought it for the wife to use in some recipe, she was done with it and it's a sin to waste food

Whew.....

Neat video.

My father-in-law was Dean of Engineering at a univeristy in the mid-1940's and also an Army Air Force (AAF) primary flight instructor. Following WW2, he headed up a test program of modified Luftwaffe aircraft for the NACA and AAF. The regular pilots were AAF test pilots who did most of the flying. One of the planes was an Me109G that had been fitted with expermental flaps to reduce landing speed.

The AAF pilots goated him into flying the Me109; once he got it started and opened the throttle, he knew he was out of his league. He took off, never retracted the landing gear, circled the field and landed. (Many pilots have been killed when flying at slow speed and opening the throttle; the massive torque coupled with low aerodyanmic pressure on the flight surfaces, causes the plane to roll over with fatal results at low altitude!).

On landing, he saw the test pilots handing over money to others; it seemed that they had bet on him killing himself.

I almost spilled my single malt, which might have made me tear up. However, I stocked up and I'm not likely to run out anytime soon.

Where is the "East Bay"? Sounds like Pelosi country, plenty a Varmints there but no doubt the rare and endangered methmouse.

I gotta give this a rest. It's just too much to even try and keep up with.

Give you a parting shot of an 03' you can only dream about as there is but one like it.....

Did you borrow it from Lee?

You know, the original posting was a painting of a Me109, not a photo. I assume the artist took liberities to better illustrate the plane and add interest.

Now I understand the coke...........

The wings are showing sun glare also.

Phew, I don't want to be a cretin or something.

Somebody called me a Cretin once...for putting ice in Bourbon.

Then Mathman called me Gay.....

Lee show a picture of yourself doing dumbell rows with 120 pound weights.

Mathman is tough, he orders his in a dirty glass with a human hair in it!

Room temp too, I'll bet....


Ingwe

When I was a kid, I put ice in my Bourbon too.

Steve, you have no idea. Take a look on the Big Bore Forum on the Ruger 375 "rant"....jorge

You must think folks here fell off a bloody potato truck,.......An '03 fitted with its original irons, and one of those TOTALLY PATHETIC Chinese "Short Malcolm" scopes that have Muffler Hardware for mounts,.......No slide stop, a BIZARRE 5" Eye Relief, no Recoil spring.......

and check the cobbled up front mount for laughs



Dream my Azz,....that thing would be my nightmare.

You "Ex-Spurts" are really something
