    Vintage airplanes

    I saw this nice '50s-vintage Cessna 170 at a fly-in a couple of months ago. Absolutely beautiful! There was also a 1968 Cessna 172K there that had been restored. I got a snap of the cockpit.

    I'm still logged on

    Indeed! Last time I saw the one that belonged to my dad was 10 years ago, sitting derelict in Fullerton. I wish I could get my hands on it. I could get one in the same N-number range for $25K, and all it needs is an engine overhaul. ('All it needs is $15,000 of engine work!' :D ) Dad's old...

    'Heylo'? I wish it were HELO! Alas, helis are a bit expensive to rent anymore. The good news is that I've been back in the air. Renewed my medical Thursday. In addition to being social with the roommate, work, Calculus, room renovation, and myriad time-wasting activities, I also need to...

    I'm still logged on

    I haven't been here in quite a long time. Last Autumn I was getting a new Irvin jacket, yakkin' about planes, and so forth. Then the ex-fiancée moved in and my schedule changed. Busy at work, busy at school, and day-to-day life just filled up my time. Today I thought it was time I stopped...

    How much is a 12 O'Clock High toby mug worth?

    I'm guessing that's for the un-numbered one. Seems about right. I wish I could remember how much they were when they were released. Probably half that. Thanks for finding the link.

    How much is a 12 O'Clock High toby mug worth?

    I have two 'Robin Hood' toby mugs as used in 12 O'Clock High. I bought them when they were first released... in the late-'80s? One is numbered and I have it packed away, and the other one is unnumbered and is in my kitchen. They're not for sale, but I'd really like to know what they're...

    What are you doing.........

    New Year's Day, 1/1/11. Today I'll cook up a mess of ham hocks & black-eyed peas, ham hock & collard greens, and chipotle-cheddar cornbread.

    What are you doing.........

    We had the Birch Bay Ring of Fire & Hope tonight at 1900 hours. People lit flares from Birch Point to Point Whitehorn, and some people brought aerial fireworks. Sure, there were some thin spots; but the residents here represented pretty well. It's below freezing outside, but my roommate was...

    dear new neighbor

    This is not advisable. Mixing bleach and ammonia produces chlorine gas, which is deadly to inhale. Of course, I like to check things before I post them. It turns out that the mixture can produce other dangerous chemicals depending on the ratio. Here's what I found with a google search of...

    dear new neighbor

    I've only started reading the thread, but I wanted to respond to this: Disclaimers: This is my personal opinion. I have never been in a Bad Neighbour situation. (At least, not like the OP describes. I lived in an apartment in L.A. and had to deal with noise, but a couch that appeared in...

    Looking for an RAF sheepskin flying jacket

    It works for me. Alas, I'm a Fat Boring Old Far... 'Fellow' and I have no hope of finding an original Irvin in 46 (modern size). :( One day I'll get an Eastman, but for now the WPG suits me fine.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Bubba Ho-tep. Bruce Campbell as an aged Elvis Presley (who is in a nursing home after having swapped places with an Elvis impersonator) and Ossie Davis as John F. Kennedy, who team up to battle a mummy in cowboy garb.

    Looking for an RAF sheepskin flying jacket

    They often show up on eBay and eBay UK. Just be aware that some are called 'original Irvin', but they're not original WWII Irvins. They're new jackets by the name-holder (Aviation Leathercraft). There are people here who offer theirs for sale from time to time. I have a Coastal Command...

    Navy SNJ Trainer Colors and Markings

    I can't help you with the specific location you ask about, but T-6 Texan in Action may be of some help. The ...in Action books have two-page colour spreads in the middle, and lots of photos. Unfortunately, my copy is packed away somewhere; else I'd check for you. You may be able to peruse a...

    Experienced my first earthquake this morning...

    *sigh* I miss earthquakes. I did get out of bed for one once. Northridge. I was in L.A., just north of Culver City. The 10 fell down near my apartment. I went out to watch the water slosh around in the pool, but my neighbours thought I was bringing the light out for them. So I didn't get...

    First snow of the season

    By contrast, our average high temperature (in July and August) is 73ºF/23ºC and the average annual rainfall is 34.84 inches (885 mm). I love the Pacific Northwest!
