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 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?
