    What missed opportunities do you regret?

    I have learned not to dwell on missed opportunities in my life, from a friend of mine, the late Ed Kretz Jr. He was the son of Iron Man Ed Kretz Sr. who won both the inaugural Daytona 200 and Laconia motorcycle races. Eddy also won a lot of races, when Steve McQueen could not race in the 1965...

    In terms of a span of years, when do you place the "Greatest Generation"?

    As a Baby boomer, I can remember, when you meant a new kid, you would ask, "was your Dad in the war?" Every one knew what you meant, even with Vietnam raging!

    In terms of a span of years, when do you place the "Greatest Generation"?

    It is interesting that there seemed to be so little celebration of the 70th anniversary. I remember the 50th, it was really big, with the U.S. Navy launching WWII airplanes from one of their carriers, and the big Washington DC fly overs.

    Finally, a scientific study on leather jackets!

    Maybe this will solve both the unsatisfying child raising and the nice jacket perches! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXq6m_JFnKY

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    See Here, Private Hargrove (1944) & What Next, Corporal Hargrove? (1945) Funny movies! Shame about Robert Walker. If you think young actors with substance abuse and mental disorders, dying young is a new Hollywood phenomenon, guise again!

    Show us your Militaria

    Can Do! Has there ever been a more appropriate motto? I know the Japanese were shocked at how fast the SeaBees could build airfields. On Guadalcanal, the ship carrying their bulldozers was sunk, so they got the sabotaged Japanese dozers running, ate Japanese rations and built Henderson Field...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    WOW! Even in 1988 that was past cringe worthy! Then again, I still meet people that think the portrayal of slaves was historically correct.

    Your Strangest "Golden Era" Dream

    No surprise here, I have had many dreams where I am flying some Golden Age airplane. They are so vivid, I can feel the stick or yoke in my hand and even smell the fuel and oil. I was born to late!

    New info on the Amelia Earheart mystery?

    The first sight is a good one Otter! As I have said before, TIGHAR is nothing but a joke in the aircraft preservation community.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    People can learn to save! We were on water rationing during our drought, they would charge you a lot more when you used to much. It worked, we are still using less water, even though the restrictions were lifted! I have been sticking to the old designated watering days, and so are most of the...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    No problem! I hate Air Repair, because it makes me cry to see what Stearmens are bringing now days! I remember the Bud Light Special Super Corsair with it's R-4360. While the Merlins and Bristol Centaurus engines sounded like they were ready to explode, the R-4360 sounded like it was out for a...

    For the record, Frank Hershey got the first generation of fins just right! Modeled after the tail of the P-38 Forked Tail Devil! Unfortunately, it was all down hill after that...
