Need to vent, A few thing eating at me today.

Paladin, that's an awesome story and I'm glad you had the opportunity to meet the man.

Hoser, a lot of people talk down about the P-40 Warhawk because they try to compare them to the later fighters of the war like the P-51 or the Corsair. Totally unfair. There are a lot of Japanese pilots that would tell the P-40 nay-sayers that it was a pretty good fighter for it's time...if they had survived their P-40 encounters, that is.

I have a couple of WWII planes I'm really proud of. I have a model P-51 signed by Yeager, I have a model of the Memphis Belle signed by Robert Morgan (he passed away a couple of years ago), a very nice original oil of one of the Tuskegee P-51s and a print of an ME-109 signed by a German general (and fighter ace) who's name slips my mind right now.

So I can't get an over easy or over medium egg at the Chow Hall on Carson

Yeah, that's 'cause they use powdered eggs ... its the effin' army, you expect real eggs from real chickens?

I bet most of the sushi is made from faux crab meat too.

I didn't get to fly in it but did the next best thing.









Next I want to ride in the Ball Turret.

Pueblo has a pretty nice aircraft museum, and they occasionally feature open cockpit days where you can go inside the aircraft.

So I can't get an over easy or over medium egg at the Chow Hall on Carson, but you can buy sushi at the Commissary?

I saw a B17 Flying over head today, Why can't I ride in one?

While at the commissary De ja vu was handing out free passes (discreetly). If you're trying to get me into a Alcohol free strip club, you might need to send your "A" team, not the janitors.

EDIT: The word "Minty" when describing your gun. Minty is for tea, jelly, ice cream, and gum. Not Awesomeness of guns.

I need some range time..........

Sorry your day sucked, we all have em. Your mention of the B-17 compelled me to post that my Granddad in law whom we buried at Crown Hill with a military style service this week was a turret gunner in a B-17 bomber. I cannot imagine a job with a greater butt pucker ratio. He was a great man and fought like hell to the end (toughest S.O.B. i've ever met). Anyway thanks to all those tough bastards who gave us what we have and expect nothing in return..........oh yeah "Minty" sounds kind of fruity to me too.

The plane I saw today was $425 per-person, and tax deductible as it technically a donation. This was a reunion for some 381st Bomber WWII vets hence the veteran photo shoot.

I pulled the Active Duty card and me an one of my soldiers and my wife and kid got to get a mini tour of the B17. Now I really want to fly in one. An Apparently there are only 12 that fly today and 47 hull left. So when I win the lottery and after I buy consecutive serial numbers of every M1 Garand and M1 Carbine every made, I'm going to buy a B17.

No, now they call it Dignity or Olinger.......I still call it Crown Hill. It's at Wadsworth and 29th in Wheat Ridge CO.
