That settles it then. Only a Viking would have that kind of stamina.

Viking stock is terrible. It takes too much time to simmer the bones off and it needs too much salt to be palatable.



The fact that you are from Minnesota and said that, worries me.

Lovely. Best summer for a long time. Spent some time up north while the weather was nice. Hitchhiked in the mountains. Lazy days at the beach. Geocached a lot. Stayed away from all computers for almost a month.

And you?

I think that's "forced perspective". But it would have to be pretty big. Tall plane (I used to stand under that location daily without ducking , and I'm 6'3". I had plenty of room. And the P-3C stipped and empty weights over 100K. I'd have to find my old NATOPS manual, but I'm betting a regular landing configuration of 130-160K wouldn't be unusal. Big honking airplane, big honking tail hook!

I had never seen "The Final Countdown" before last night. It was available on Netflix streaming, so I watched it (in HD! ) whilest wife unit worked.

A fun flick. Lots of plane porn, particularly Tomcat heavy-not that that's a bad thing. I must say that a 20mm GEC minigun does a real number on A6M2s. Same with an AIM-9. Would have loved to see what a Nimitz class Alpha strike did against the KB, but alas those damn time portals pick the most inconvenient time to pop up in the plot line.

A technical question for you fliers: would the heat sig from an A6M2 at full throttle be sufficient to get a lock from a mid-development AIM-9 series? I know the Ls and beyond are pretty sensitive, but wondering about the early 1980s models so employed in the movie.

Forgot to mention that VF-84 (The Jolly Rogers) was always my favorite VF group. Gotta love the group insignia.
