That looks like an f-4 phantom. Retired by the U.S. military years ago but sold to other countries.

Yes! It's an F4G a famous Wild Weasel hunter from Nam. The F-4's were the last "Muscle Car" of the jets. We have 4 are on static display (Edwards AFB). It was a really solid fighter and well loved. That thing could get you home. It's amazing to look at the displays and realize the cockpits were so simple in comparison to the all glass of today.

Then again I remember my UPT instructor telling me about his stick and ball cockpit LOL! Too funny. We all long for the familiarity of our youth. Yesterday I watched the F-22 and F-35 fly over. We have come a very long way in one lifetime.

We have daily runs over our town to L.N.A.S... at 10:15ish 12-2pm then again about 6pm I cant tell what they are but assume it's the f18's or the f35c's which are replacing them.. drives me bonkers usually hear them then attempt to look for them

tons of activity within the last 2 mo's for sure.. could be the better weather too..

Technology has taken over.... My flight instructor, who as you might expect was old school since I'm no spring chicken myself, he used to refer to commercial pilots as Glorified Bus drivers...LOL...dam..I used to love that shit. The rush of defying the laws of gravity. Yes, I do miss my youth...my reflex on the yoke/stick and rudder and all the way around was at its peak. Everything today is glass and I think pilots today might have the tendency to rely to much on thier modern equiptment.....things get a little to relaxed on practicing with instruments.

It is amazing how far we have come...I have to fully agree....it is incredible to see the evolution of flight .....

That is precisely what I said to a recruiter! I will not sign up to drive buses. Single engine or no signature LOL.

I miss Carne. I thought with one of his biggest stalker/hater going up the river he might have had a change of heart. Apparently still too many fuck faces in the mix.

Yeah, what happened? I didn't know he was stalked. Or hated. I was just on his page today to see if he had dropped in. But no show.

Then why are you teasing us? I have no idea what happened. We need carne. Hell, I need carne. I'm a mess without carne. I miss him so damn much! I miss being with him. I miss being *near* him. I miss his laugh! I miss his scent. I miss his musk.

Tis a funny thing about any online organization, it is as alive as the people that are active in it, Just as a body sheds cells, so does this digital body we all create.
Vast are the reasons why it seems so volatile, but with every cell that drops, there seem to be more that materialize right before our eyes.

Memories, Knowledge and Companionship are about all you can take from a body such as this.

Not much different than life itself, just a bit more accelerated.

Peace, Love and Great Grows
