One or another.

Maybe.

It would be interesting to know how many people died to change those borders.

My son puked all over the back seat of a rental car once, as we were driving down the interstate on the way to pick up my brother in law at the airport. My first stop was at a gas station with a vacuum. A few quarters, and everything was pretty well cleaned up. Then we had to stop at Walmart to buy him some new…

Turkish news is saying that one of the pilots is dead.

No, there were asshats back then, all the way back to the Roman asshats who clogged the fast chariot lane on the Appian Way.

Is persistence one of them?

“Ain’t no way I’ll let somebody go past in a base.”

Nope nope nope....

You listen to NPR, too. Say what you will about people like Assad, Saddam and Gadaffi, but they kept these radicals in check.

Don’t hold your breath.

Courage is not the absence of fear. It is being afraid yet going anyway. Lance Corporal Carpenter’s selfless heroism, and those of all CMH awardees, along with those who were not recognized, shows all Americans that in spite of our differences there still remains a strong sense of duty and honor that is shared by all…

Speaking of 300SLs, here’s a picture of Pablo Picasso with his wife Jacqueline and photographer David Douglas Duncan in a Mercedes 300SL in 1956. You can read about the car here. David Duncan took many of the most iconic photographs of the Korean War, as well as WWII and Vietnam.

An interesting question, but even with as cold as it is at that altitude, I doubt the 75-degree (or whatever) interior temp would make much of a signature. But I have no idea what the capablitities of the satellites are.

If you boarded a commercial airliner, at random, every day, it would be 100 years before you were statistically likely to be in an accident. And then, the odds that you would survive.

Thank you for posting this. It was SEVEN YEARS after the faulty repair on JAL 123 before the aft pressure bulkhead failed. How many inspections had it passed in that time? This is my pet theory, though there are reports of a heat flash being detected in the area of the jet, which suggests an explosion of some sort.…

Thank you.

Send her to my place after you kick her out of your bed.

That new building doesn’t open until June 2016, though, so plan your trip accordingly.

The Germans actually built two prototypes of this sort of jet, the EWR VJ 101. Both made successful flights in both hover and transition to forward flight, and the first prototype, the X1 (below), broke the sound barrier without afterburner. The second prototype was fitted with afterburners but the project was…
