Think "Gazellephant

I thought the Gazelle had a Fenestron?

The new ones do. I flew a few maintenance hops with the French Navy in their Gazelle during the first PG conflict in Bahrain.

I was a sand bag reading checklists but the bubble canopy was great, something I always wanted to fly.

Again, I was quite drunk at the time. 😎

Off the shore of New York State, the Grumman Aircraft Corporation tested their brand-new fighter, the F-11 Tiger, in 1956.
A lengthy burst of gunfire from the pilot resulted in sudden, inexplicable damage that killed the engine and smashed in the windscreen.
What took place? The pilot had shot himself down.
Like other Grumman airplanes, like all Grumman aircraft, was named after a cat. With a top speed of 843 miles per hour (Mach 1.1), the F-11 was the Navy's only other supersonic fighter.
The aircraft was really Grumman's first supersonic fighter, and one test that Tiger would fail was due to the company's lack of knowledge about the effects of supersonic flight.

I love Excalibur and Clash of the Titans, both of which are still great even if the FX are a bit dated.











I've seen most of those. The only one that I don't remember seeing is "Victory".

And I love "King of the Mountain".

I need to see "Time Bandits" again. It's been forever, probably the 80s since I saw most of those.

A young boy, the child of migrant workers, at home in Edinburg, Texas, 1939. Such incredible details from 4x5 film photography. The little scrap of paper hanging side at the top left is a handwritten note that reads, "Thou shalt love thy neighbors as thyself." There is also a copy of the 10 commandments. He' d be 90 years old or so but this boy could still be alive today. I hope he went on to live a happy life.
