Are you talking the Lucas "Flamethrowers"?!

We're lucky. We got a killer group of franchised Ace Hardware Stores here in the D.C area called "Strohsniders". Strohsniders is a cross between the Mom-and-Pop model and the Big Box model. I think they are up to something like (3) area stores now. It is TOTALLY killer!

He just LOVED flying. It's kind of hard not to like people like that: - Daedalus - Da Vinci - Orville and Wilbur - Lindbergh - Hannah Reitsch ALL of them just wanted to fly, to get up there and fly. Kind of cool!

Sorry to read here about your bad luck, red. That's no fun at all. That has got to be some SERIOUS stress to shear those diameter bolts in that quantity. I mean I'm no metallurgist or truck mechanic, but right?!

You got to 'fess up, are you going to buy her one?!

We got the Howard Hughes Medical Institute headquartered here in the DC area (in Bethesda MD). The endowment of the Institute is in the billions. They claim to be doing general medical research, but the story I heard back when I was chasing their business here in the area was different. We...

That "AWOL" rig is a super hoot. I'm especially liking the fender lantern. :naner:

The old "boondockers", remember them well. :beer:

That manuever in the second vid, from 1:07 - 1:15 (+/-) is pretty remarkable. I wonder what G's that throws against the pilot?
