Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.

Thanks again for your patience,

    Re: 9 Blue Angel planes just arrived at SFO

    To his credit, the original complaintent, (BTW- a U.S. Navy, and Vietnam vet), wrote a letter of apology to the newspaper to anyone he offended, stating it was just ignorance of the tradition...

          Interesting to get the whole story...

          Since their purpose is debunking myths and being accurate, at least Snopes.com could use picture of F-16s and and not F-106s!!!

            Yeah, but I kinda liked that pic of the F-106's. Reminded me of better times with the 318th FIS out of McChord AFB!

              "Better times"? In what alternate reality is a '106 better than an F-15??

                Oh, my young sibling...you still have much to learn. There was NOTHING like watching pairs of those -106's come smoking (literally) over grandma's house. You were just too young to appreciate it.

                NOT that it wasn't a travesty when they disbanded the 318th and sent the Eagles packing...but it just wasn't the same.

                Of course, if you ask dad, he'd say we were BOTH messed up, that the real fun was watching F-82's fly over the house when he was growing up!

                  I lived near McCord when the 'Shakies' were replaced by 'Droopies' and the Darts retired and replaced by the Eagles.

                  The new birds are very exciting but, there's always a fond memory of the older birds.

                  Oh, I love hydros too! Goes with the territory, I guess.
