Looks like Pootie-poot has offended the orthodox deity.

Better be a 'hot stick', or you won't survive long! And, just like the BD-1 (aka AA-1, Yankee), the BD-5 has the glide ratio of a tin-foil-wrapped brick.

Not to mention thousands of aircraft engines for the Third Reich.

So far during this RimPac the Russian Oligarch luxury yacht 'A' has been cruising in and out from the Kona coast. Is it the usual mafiaskya vacation, or Russian eavesdropping masquerova from the ship?

I'm with you on the Jolly, or something like it. I really want one for a Kailua-Kona village runabout. Make it electric and call it a neighborhood vehicle and you avoid all those pesky federal standards. I'm sure I can discover a hack around the 35mph governor. Really, I've never bought a new car (and I've owned sixty…

To take a longer accelerated run at him.

Neither. Give an option between a downsized Jeep, and modernized VW Thing/dune buggy, and I'm up for discussion. The Renegade looks like mini Jeep Liberty, the VW, well ... like aVW.

Run up to fifty or sixty ... SLAM on the brakes, reverse away. Problem solved!

Dad flew SA-16s (USAF designation for the Albatross) in the mid '50s. He said you could tell the pilot from the copilot by which ear was deaf (his was the left).

Take my money ... there will be enough left for divorce atty, after!

Not our unit, not now, or ever.

That's our unit behind the plumeria tree.

We looked for one to park on our 'almost lakefront' Flathead Lake lot in Montana. Every one we looked at was pure post-methlab inside. I've heard that Yuma, AZ is thr best place in the world to find a clean, cheap used RV. Yaknow, some geezer couple buys one for a last hurrah on the road before the big exit, and since…

Just sell me the running Hy-Wire platform, and I'll build what *I* want!

Ala Ka La, Alii Dr., makai, just Kau side of Alii Point

Jason, mayhap some day you might want to do a 'house swap' for a couple of weeks. Kapalili & I could burn dead dinosaurs at an astounding rate, and you and yours could hang out at our Kona beach hale (not the white house, this was taken from our lanai). We've wondered if buying an old RV and bumming around the country…

Growing up in the USAF from the end of WWII to the Viet-Nam era, I was moved all over. I never heard the phrase 'Squadron Car', but there were many 'crew hacks', usually a war weary Jeep that the crew chief resurrected and managed to keep running for ramp errands.

Doesn't look good for someone who doesn't know how the interwebz work!
