Tony was a remarkable man, stuck to his plan and ended up a legend. I was lucky enough to meet him while living in San Diego in the military. Such a personable, stand up guy. He will be missed but his achievements will live on.

He's headed down the Tebow route.

That name sounds familiar. I worked there from 84 to 89. My dad retired in 93-94 if I remember right. He's still a member of the retiree's club.

Oh BTW...One guy I know still worked there not too long ago. Arnie Osuna.

I think the only reason was the weight carrying capacity is why it was pushed so hard. The F-16's airframe couldn't come close but I think you're totally spot on with the LANTIRN pods being way way too expensive.

That looks like Building 20 with 16 in the background.

Nice, yes I know the site was sold and sad to see things dwindle down. My father worked there for 33 years. While I was there I worked on the A-7, B-2, C-17, 747, CL-601, and the Space Shuttle. I remember the day we were at work when Challenger blew up, very somber mood and people were crying.

I used to work at LTV and was a part of the A-7F program. The plane itself was impressive as stated in the amount of ordinance weight it could carry. LTV began selling the A-7 to the Greek Air Force and various South American countries as well. I'll relay a couple of interesting stories about the A-7 and bad things…

If you see smoke....your bit is already done in. This rings true with any metal whether it be aluminum, titanium, whatever. Don't go gung ho and keep it cool and lubricated.

You should also brine the chicken for 24 hours prior to anything.

"When Mike Richards scores on you, it's time to pack it in" boy this statement rings sooooooo true!

I'd get ducts cleaned even if you don't smell smoke in a house. You never know what nasty stuff is all up in those things.

I don't think people want to use a garage as intended, most everyone I see in neighborhoods just stores crap in them, not vehicles. I will say it is probably a turn off though as we did a garage conversion and it's taking a good while to sell our house.

Some of us live too far out to get decent reception so this suffices.

Neither does not wearing a seatbelt unless you want your head to penetrate the windshield and your body end up about 30 feet away. Seen that happen right in front of me. Not pretty.

I agree, having ISO's in your dropbox/drive folders eats up space quite fast.

Same principal, you are instructed to wear a belt. Same as you are instructed to in a plane. Need to rethink your position.

There's no out of context, same thing happened here in my state a few years back. It is the fundamentals of the religion that are flawed. Religion has been the cause of most wars in the world throughout history.

And all this in the name of Islam...but again, it's a peaceful religion.

But you'd eat others?
