Thunderbirds!
« on: May 08, 2024, 02:00:40 PM »
I saw the Thunderchickens down here in PCB on Sunday. It was a sight to behold.
I only got surprised once and the guy snuck up on us from behind and almost broke the barrier. You could see the air around the plane start to open up and he pulled back.

It’s an awesome sight to behold. Every time I see something like this, I get jealous of my AU roommate who flew F16s for 28 years with the 187th in Montgomery.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

I was part of a 69 for a 10 minute spell with Cindy Lou Schnedlemeister, back in 98'.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Well. My roommate was with the 187th from like 1987 until about five years ago. Which years were you there? His last flyover at AU was the iron bowl where USA Today caught the flyover straight up through the goalposts.

2014-2019. I was in the Logistics Readiness Squadron. I’m sure I threw him a salute or 2 in passing.

Most likely. He was the Col. 2nd in command up until his retirement Aug 2016. (I didn’t realize it had been almost 8 years. Dang we old)
