The Republicans and the Isolationists called it Roosevelt's war (A Democrat) for most of 1940 and '41. FDR, and General George C. Marshall, developed the Lend-Lease program with England and the USSR. This allowed the lending of equipment to countries fighting the Axis powers with the promise of returning the items or…

Forgot to add this one

Went to Pearl in January, 2004 with very few tourist that day. Took these without anyone in the photos. The last one is of Arizona crew members that survived the attack and had their remains returned to their ship after they passed away.

I've been to the Stranahan's distillery in Denver for the tour. They do not add any water to the glass to "open up" the flavor. They have an awesome old style bar/saloon where you can enjoy their goods and have some decent food too. They will also let you work the line for 8 hours and your payment is a bottle of…

Can't wait to go down to my local Chevy dealership and take a 2-Door Super Sport for a test drive.

Tyler, a few questions. Is the Phoenix missile still carried by any aircraft? What is today's equivalent for it? Since modern aircraft are doing away with RIOs, how is a pilot able to triage the information he/she is receiving in real time, especially in 2vUNK? As always, a great read, thanks

Wouldn't boarding/deplaning be faster too? The initial cost for each plane would be more, material wise, but the gate turn around should be quicker. However, the airlines could no longer be able to charge passengers to get out of the middle. I'm sure airlines are making a bunch of revenue with those seats these days.

OK. I'm writing this after an unlimited Mimosa/Bloody Mary brunch. However, is there a cost effective way to produce a narrow body cabin aircraft with a 2+2+2 seating arrangement that eliminates the dreaded middle seat for a plane in the old 757/321/737 class? Or is the cost of aluminum/composite too costly to expand…

Why didn't they sell it to an airline? Was it too heavy being a prototype or something?

Milton is boring.....

There was a drive in the next town where I lived and we would pull my BRAT in backwards and use the seats to watch the movie.

No love for the BRAT? I've owned two of them. My first car payment was on a 1980 BRAT. 6 years Later I bought the "cool" one with the T-Tops. Had the 4WD hatchback in between. Back when Subarus were "inexpensive, and built to stay that way."

Rt 6 is where the army took their Mraps for urban training in preparation for driving in third world countries with poor infrastructure

Sure, put logic into my post. I was going to put the GL-10 from Subaru instead, but the Forrester had a better ring to it. And I was referring to anything that was/is forced to travel on Rt 6 towards the CT border.

Sadly. I've seen way too many RI cars that fit this description for it to be a coincidence. I think it's the only state that is envious of the Masshole's inferiority complex

Allow me to fit the proper wagon for each New England State in 1991

Even more than it looks. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of top to put on it. I'm sure I can get a custom vinyl top built for it, bit I'd love to find a couple of surfboards that I could remove for sunny days. It's impossible to be in a bad mood driving it.

The following video is not approved by OSHA......

I spent a few years around a 727, so what I learned my not apply to something designed 40 years later. With that in mind IIRC, the main emergency transponder/beacon on the -72 would automatically start to work once it became wet. (From the saltwater in this case)

Why are you protecting this idiot by redacting his number? Obviously, he wants attention and glory. If you can't take the heat, don't be an asshole. (Ok, I'm mixing my analogies, but I think you get my point.
