Good gouge. I knew LM was working it but hadn't seen that news. I think the sweet spot for Hybrids will be on routes longer than LAX to LAS though. It's their efficiency between ships and fixed wing cargo that might help. I'm thinking of strat lift for military deployment though. Not revived Zeppelin liners.

Are you talking about Dragon Dream or whatever the one made at Tustin is called? I'm a big fan but so far no one has made one that carries the cargo they say it will.

Until they were massacred and driven out. Then unions formed the Asiatic Exclusion League to stop all Asian immigration to the U.S. with the Chinese Exclusion Act which wasn’t repealed until 1943 due to it seeming strange to treat an “ally” that way.

Will the Chinese allow shitting in the passenger compartment like they do at home?

We haven't had a global thermonuclear war yet. ;)

Just remembered. There was supposedly a Eugenics War/WW 3 before Star Fleet existed. Doubt any wooden 100 year old structures would be intact. Not to be too nerdy.

Isn’t the Iowa’s #2 turret non-functional since the explosion? That reduces it to 6 guns anyway.

I also grew up in Irvine. UCI was used for one of the original Planet of the Apes and an office building for Demolition Man. Ironically the Taco Bell HQ is nearby too.

Those blimp hangars were made during WW2. I think wood was used to conserve steel. They are recognized as one of the largest freestanding wood structures in the world. Similar hangars at Lakehurst, Moffet Field, and I think Tillamook.

I always laugh when I see the old LTA hangars I worked in at Marine Corps Air Station Tustin being used for futuristic scenes like Star Trek. Star fleet has transparent aluminum but wooden beam hangars?

Just happened to see this photo at bookstore. USS Enterprise(CVN-65) and USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), the battleships USS New Jersey (BB-62) and USS Missouri (BB-63), and their escorts pictured underway. Forming the Seventh Fleet Battle Force for PACEX 1989.

You can feel bad about our involvement in Vietnam if you want. I don’t. You can lecture the people in Westminster and San Jose who still fly the RVN flag how they were the bad guys. Funny that Kim Phuc eventually sought asylum in Canada rather than continue being used for propaganda purposes by the communists.

No. There were no Anerican advisors or personnel involved in the bombing that wounded Kim Phuc in 1972. It was strictly ARVN and VNAF. The American who claimed he ordered the strike turned out to have made up the story.

Better stick to Foxtrot Alpha. The Gawker crowd hates you! LOL

That was a VNAF strike by the way.

That’s what I recall. Basically Brits wanted to push opium and China tried to stop them. China’s humiliation led to the Boxer Rebellion.

Yup. It's been done.

Major Ly could’ve shown how to do it.

I don't think it's limited to any class. Most people in general don't think of logistics because frankly it's boring. It's not as sexy as a shiny fighter plane but if you don't have the ball bearings for your Fetzer valve you're SOL.
