Getting the dates wrong on a forum for HISTORICAL aircraft will tend to get noticed. Count on it.

Meanwhile getting back on topic .. I just saw these flying yesterday :D

What are you talking about, I was being sarcastic in my last post, BOB was seventy years ago I wasnt wrong about anything. You are mistaken. Not knowing what your talking about on this forum will get you noticed. When I said the wolfs came knocking 70 years ago, I was correct. It was wrongly assumed that I meant the US got involved 70 years ago. But no harm meant I'm sure.

You my friend, should read some Machiavelli.

What makes you think I have not?
 

The lot of him actualy. But boring and not up to todays standard.
Now Im on Todds "After the empire".
After that Ross Sorkin "Too big to fail".
And Reinhart Rogof "This time is diferent"

I do my fair share of reading! How about you?

How come you live in world with such a naive concept of mankind?

Ok, I always knew you guys up there are different, but - :grin:

Its free here you know.
 

And we call it education.

That's why we all want to be like Sweden.
No problems around, "a land flowing with milk and honey".

Nice pissing contest.

Who is pissing?
 

Anyway you ( we!) are way OT. So lets call it a day.

agreed. was fun 'tho.

At least now I know where our president gets his reading list :).

BTW, I saw a couple F-18's yesterday and even got three sonic booms (not from the same planes though). I was on the coast and they are not allowed to go super sonic over land so I am guessing a pilot got a bit enthusiastic and kicked in the burners while still too close to land. Honestly, I didn't know what it was when I heard it as I have never heard one from that distance. A retired navy guy identified it for me....was very cool. Everyone on the boardwalk stopped to look around for the source of the rumble.

Heh heh, modern times eh?
I have a very vivid memory of an airshow in the early 70's, when an English Electric Lightning (AKA Frightening), came down the showline at about 100ft and 600mph, lit full burner, pulled up and went through the barrier vertical.
BOOM!
A moment I'll never forget, and because of Mr Health and Safety/Environmental Concern, will never see again.
Ah me, those were the days...am I getting old?
