Description
When the USAF ended the commissioned officer #NAVIGATOR and put two pilots in their F-4 "Phantoms" in 1968 I lost all my contacts in USAF. I got sent over to the #Skyhawk people to do pipeline accounting on overhaul at Cecil. I had Jan from Java and the #Northrup P-530 to jump on the USFRG cancellation and an RAF Wing Commander and Harrier and as he left for San Diego took me to meet a back seater who was Commander at Top Gun and 70-1 class was just about to start. #McDonnell had sent their ABS-II software from the FX winning proposal that was to become the F-15 "Eagle" to Douglas Space & Missile system to liven up a consultant's words about head-on missile firings.

cool atmosphere.
KOOOL
Very nice work, really love the lighting in this
I found Zeke among the early groups in pictures in the Blue Angels: A Pictorial History by National Naval Aviation Museum page 13 his signature is hard to read in the blue black of the aircraft nose. 2nd from the right in the largest picture on that page. On page 11, the Cutlass is shown with no mention of Whitey.
My family was talking about the movies they liked, and I decided to comment that the movie about the recent incursion in Venezuela will be hard to make as it was Stealth. When he second "Top Gun" movie was about to show locally I tried to look at a trailer posted by the magazine Aviation Week and I was blocked. I laughed and simply went to the theater and saw the real thing. I have no driver's license and no credit cards. My last car was in 1984. My last house was in 1978. I did have a time share for a time at Hawk's Key in 1979. I always need updating and I looked up the U.S.S. Iwo Jima and saw it has a helicopter deck and instead of being a LSD or LPD t is an LPH. It has done a civilian support test in the Atlantic off South America where it had surgeons and logistics sent ashore.
I know what Ryan White money is. I know what the CO-VID 19 vaccine was. But in a personal note I have to mention Cecum cancer and the PSA and tiny nodules searched for with needles. No one else has to admire the radiation machines that feature travelling wave tubes like the Raytheon versions on the "Prowler" and "Growler" where I have an unbuilt "Growler" in my closet now. The TV showed me Putin and Trump walking the carpet in front of F-22's to make me recall an apartment mate of mine from 1966 who had de-iced USAF Arctic aircraft. 50 million for a B-1 prototype? or a DD-963 with no weapons. My render is of a couple of Frigates and a a couple of 1052's and the USS "Stennis". Not a President name and a step down for me now so ---
It's 3:58 in the morning and I was reading about a hostage taking in 1980 on the feed. It got to the second clip being needed and I had been through several AD clips. I got my hair cut yesterday to what I hoped would be "High Plains Drifter" but the stylist found a picture and my recent shaving of my beard had put that one off. I couldn't remember that President Kennedy had had a style that was called a "Princeton" but the stylist found a presidential portrait. Off we went with me making comments about Harvard and the museum downtown featuring a Lincoln bubble top or some such. Dallas, hey we're in Texas. I've burned my bridges with the Andersen Cancer Center now by my comments to Urology Austin about ENRON. I guess I need another no way to recall comment this one on AI. AI is what we in 1960 would have called Booge-Whah as a slang for the French Bourgeois.I built my art from Poser 1 and before that from Microsoft DRAW. The latest legalisms here are on my recent life membership in ACM and pending in EAA. I much earlier became a life member of AFA which is now AIR & Space. I let some memberships lapse where the editors wanted to express a dismissal where argument and debate would have sufficed. I have a box of jump drives and camera cards that all can be used and in the garage my son the computer expert has wiped professionally the hard drives on my graphics computer of many eras. Meanwhile here Poser 15 has appeared with a reasonable price. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl! Try that for infringement. OK I'll do a quick CDC style collision. Pshew!
