I've just got a game of VG's Hells Highway tomorrow. Joy.

Isn't that about Market Garden? Wouldn't think the British would want to relive that one much.

That's the paras for you Maroon Machine indeed We're talking about guys who headbut walls for fun, while they're sober.

Mostly Scots and Welsh then, eh?

I finally got round to watching District 9 the other day, an absolutely cracking film�

I enjoyed it too-saw it in the theater. I don't recall another film that had as many splattered humans. My goodness, but the end of that film was brutish...

Mostly **** wits. I suppose you can't be all that switched on if you want to jump out of a fully functional aircraft and then have bad people shoot things at you

They do part of their training at Brize and you can always tell when they're back in town.

More aircraft from the Offutt Airshow flying overhead today....I might not have to even go!

B-1,F-22's,F-15's, a fly by of a F-22 in formation with a P-38. Really pretty neat!

I'd better hide those Kasserine games then.

What are you mad at? Did you ever try to yard work (like pulling up a stump) when the USAF Thunderbirds are doing a "bomburst" directly over your house? It's very distracting!

You'll get close and then have to move again. I'm not worried.

Funny, I never saw very many of those in the hobby shops when I was growing up.

Not too likley. This is the 1st time Lou's ever been asked if she'd consider staying four years!

She said "ask me again after the 1st winter here!"

Sunday I'll go to the airshow and hopefully see them closer. It's funny , the P-38 and F-15's aren't on the list of performances.

The Thunderbirds are good.... and I know I'm biased, but I saw them fly at NAS Norfolk, after seeing the Blue Angels that same year at NAS Oceana, and by comparison they seemed.... boring.

True , but the F-16 is a much prettier plane than the F/A 18. I still say the best of the bunch was the old F-14! Tomcats forever!

T, how is that Mafia game?

Even though those first person types are not my thing, I saw a TV commercial for it last night and thought of you.
