    School and college sports

    Don't know, since I never was involved in co-ed sports. In my day, we only had cheerleaders. Although, now that you mention it, I would have thoroughly enjoyed Touch Football back in middle and high school!:confused:

    The Germans did invade England - Shoreham airport Luftwaffe landing

    Just found this photo! A flight of Hispano HA-1112 Buchons in Spanish colors. Not a lot of in flight photos of them while serving with the Spanish Air Force. Gives you a sense of what might have been if the Germans had gained Air Superiority, and left their Bf109s in natural silver!

    the-horten-229-v3-flying-wing

    One of the Horten IV gliders was flown extensively at Mississippi State University! They found it to be a pretty good plane! As for not building flying wings because of the Soviet Union, Northrop built both the XB-35 piston engine and XB-49 jet flying wing bombers. Politics killed those!

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    I just noticed it the other day. I use it for post I like, but have nothing constructive to add to the conversation!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    When my mother past away, I made sure my sister got her old percolator. She says the coffee taste so much better!

    School and college sports

    I loved rope climbing in Junior High! Two reasons, one, I was really good at it, and the gym teacher always singled out the boys that were bad at it, so I had no problems! Two, and most important, the gym was divided by a curtain, boys on one side, girls on the other. The top was, however a see...

    The Germans did invade England - Shoreham airport Luftwaffe landing

    Yes, I remember reading about that, the grass was really wet, so it saved it from a lot of damage. I saw the plane a couple of years earlier. It appears to be flying again in Germany, note the weird Swastika, to get around the law! It also has a three bladed prop now.

    It has been moved to the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hanger. Right now, they are documenting it, and stabilizing it. Hopefully, they may be able to restore it. Nothing is impossible, just to expensive!

    The "real" cool cats.

    I should add, talking to my neighbor a while back about 1950s pink cars, he said, pink shirts under black jackets, was the height of cool when he graduated High School in 1958! Tuxedo Black & Pink, a Ford option.

    The "real" cool cats.

    You're spot on about Hot Rods. Outside of car shows, I don't recall, in the 60s-70s ever seeing a true Hot Rod on the street! I think it was in the 80s, when they started to become common. and now, they are big money! And Rat Rods, were just some poor chump that could not afford paint!

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    I am older then both Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, were in 1944! Wish I could say, I have accomplished half of what either of them did, but, I can't!

    School and college sports

    I ended up taking Fencing of all things! Our University did not offer much in the way of activities for your Physical Education credits. I had the choices of fencing, weight training, swimming, golf or bowling. The latter three were off campus, so no time to fit those in, and lifting weights, I...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    These are two great threads on the French made Luftwaffe jackets. We decided after a lot of research, they were French Bicycle jackets, not motorcycle! http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/a-short-guide-to-luftwaffe-flight-jackets.58845/...
