If turkeys really had balls like that you'd think they could fly!

USAF. Served as a missile maintenance tech while enlisted ('75-80), then commissioned and retired as R&D engineer in '95 (retired as an O-4).

Went to both over XMas a couple years ago. In Prague be sure to go to Old Town Square (at night!) and go to the top of the Town Hall tower. Fabulous night shots. In Budapest be sure to take a dinner cruise on thee Danube (Be sure it's dark). Plenty more great night shots. I've attached a few.

If a roundabout bothers you, let's hope you don't encounter a Double Crossover Diamond interchange. Traffic coming at you on the right side of the road!

War story. I apologize in advance if this gets a little long.

My father was a B-17 pilot in WWII. On his first (and only) combat mission he flew out of southern Italy in July '44 to bomb a critical oil refinery in Ploesti, Romania. The Romanians were allied with the Germans. He got shot down and taken to a POW camp in Romania. There were a few hundred B-24 crews there, veterans of the earlier B-24 raid on Ploesti. A few months later the Russians were approaching so the Romanians ran away, and the prisoners were freed, eventually ending up in Cairo, Egypt. The 15th Air Force in Italy shut down all bomber operations so they could fly every available aircraft to Cairo to ferry the former POWs back to Italy. My father said that all of the B-24 crews refused to fly out on the B-24 because they didn't trust it. They flew out on the B-17s instead. I've never heard that mentioned in any of the B-24 documentaries I have seen.

I have been told by more than a few people that, well, humble I am not. Therefore I have settled on IMEO - In My Esteemed Opinion.

I, for one, would rather read anything from Jerry than anything from Festus.

From '81 through '83 I was stationed at Wright-Patterson AFB and was assigned to the the program office responsible for B-52 development. Back then we had received an unsolicited proposal from Boeing to re-engine the aircraft with four CFM-56 high-bypass turbofan engines. We didn't do it because at that time there were still parts available for the engines. Today, not so much.

I learned to not wear a hat backward when shooting after I had a hot piece of brass lodge between my face and my safety glasses. Still got the scar.

Where is Lex Luthor when you need him?

I’ve always felt that if I were suddenly granted Almighty powers and could go back and un-invent something, it wouldn’t be nuclear weapons. It would be the cell phone.

He must not have been too much of an engineer. Absolute zero is -273.15 degrees C. -320 degrees C is not even theoretically possible.

I've seen enough reports like this, so I got rid of my 27 year old compressor and bought a new one. I also spent around $10 on Amazon for an automatic compressor drain valve. Every 45 minutes it burps the drain for 0.5 seconds so no water will accumulate. Best money I have ever spent.

It is not uncommon in movies for the gun to be pointed at the camera, giving the audience the sensation the gun was pointed at them. The camera operators job is thus in the line of (supposedly safe) fire. The director is often directly behind the camera operator. The wound to the camera operator was a through-and-through, continuing on to also hit and wound the director.

I suggest you watch a few YouTube videos by Tik. He knows far, far, far more about this than you.
