Nossir. Just plane crazy. Delta is cool--they repainted our CAF FG-1D Corsair last year.

Maverick, I defer to your expertise, but a couple of things surprise me, I'd always read that the WWII Navy pilots preferred the Hellcat simply because it was much easier to carrier land than the Corsair with it's long nose. Hence the use by Marine pilots of the Corsair from island bases. The biggest surprise to me tho was how poorly the P-38 with it's armament all in the nose scored so poorly in strafing. I can only surmise from this that no matter how good the P-38 pilot was, the majority of them were no Charles Yeager country boy dead-eyes and needed a shotgun when a .22 would suffice.

That 1984 shot looks like an F15 Eagle, being retired Air Force my ears perk up when I see military aircraft.  Worked around so many war birds I could name the plane by sound.  If that's a F15 Eagle, it wasn't capable of landing on an aircraft carrier, no tailhook on the rearend for starters.

Israel showed the 'power' of F-35s in destroying nearly all of Iran's air defenses without a loss, UK admiral says

Power of VIFF. Vectoring in forward flight. Even modern AA missiles CURRENTLY CANT do that. A pilots dream in engagements.

A teacher asked her students if any of them had pets.

One little kid replied,

“Yes I have a pet cat and this morning before I left for school I put some lighter fuel in his water bowl. The cat raced up the stairs, jumped over the beds, ran down again, across the living room to the curtains, climbed up to the top and then fell down onto the floor. Then the cat just laid there motionless”.

“OMG”, exclaimed the teacher, “was your pet cat dead”?

“No” said the kid,

“He just ran out of gas!"

My wife and I were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when an absolutely stunning young woman came over to our table, gave me a big open-mouthed kiss, then said, I'll see you later and walked away. 

My wife glared at me and said, "Who in the hell was that?"

"Oh," I replied, "She's my mistress."

"Well, that's the last straw," she said. "I've had enough. I want a divorce!"

"I can understand that," I replied, "But remember, if we get a divorce it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Jaguar in the garage, and no more yacht club. Not only that, but no more diamonds, no more credit cards, and a large bank account."

"But, the decision is all yours." I said. 

Just then, a mutual friend of ours entered the restaurant with a gorgeous babe on his arm.

"Who's that woman with Jason?" asked my wife.

"That's his mistress," I said.

My wife said, "Ours is prettier!"

An Indian wanted a loan for $500.  

 

The banker pulled out the loan application. "What are you going to do with the money?" he asked the Indian.

 

"Buy Silver, make jewelry, and sell it," was the response.

"What have you got for collateral?"

 

"Don't know collateral," replied the Indian.

 

"Well that's something of value that would cover the cost of the loan. 

 

"Have you got any vehicles?"

 

"Yes. 1949 chevy pickup," replied the Indian.

 

The banker shook his head, "How about livestock?"

 

"Yes, I have a horse," replied the Indian

 

"How old is it?" the banker asked.

"Don't know, has no teeth," replied the Indian.

 

Finally the banker decided to make the $500 loan.

 

Several weeks later the old man was back in the bank.  

 

He pulled out a roll of bills, "Here to pay." he said.  

 

He then handed the banker the money to pay his loan off.

 

"What are you going to do with the rest of that money?" the banker asked.

 

"Put in moccasin,” replied the Indian.

 

"Why don't you deposit it in my bank," the banker asked.

 

"Don't know deposit," replied the Indian.

 

"You put the money in our bank and we take care of it for you.  

 

Whenever you want to use it, you can withdraw it."

 

The old Indian leaned across the desk and asked the banker...

"What you got for collateral?"

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
