LOL I remember ,that thing would get cooking in direct sunlight.

Sure was cool though for a little kid to get to climb in and around a real fighter jet.....
Stuff was more fun back then. Just about every kid in the neighborhood had a BB gun.

My childhood neighbor (reportedly) flew this one. It was located in a small park just south of the Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls. For me, seeing and looking/sitting in it was a highlight of each grade school springtime field trip. However, I also recall being disappointed that is was the ugliest military aircraft I'd ever seen.

Just to be sure everyone knows, that is NOT me with a Coors Light and A1 Steak sauce there. I don't eat steaks that are so bad they need A1 and I will only drink Coors Light if it is cold free beer at a buddies house and that is all there is.

Looks kind of like the airport at Bora Bora. This is looking at it from atop the hill across the lagoon.

Good steaks don't need any sort of sauce.

When you eat at Peter Lugers, after you order the Waiter will bring a bottle of Pete Lugers steak sauce and set it on the table, and usually quips something to the effect "Now don't be putting any of that on the steak!"

Though a nice Chimichurri pairs well with a good steak

Dry aged bone in strip sous vide then browned, with Chimichurri

Hmm, I always really liked the F-89 Scorpion... even built a model. Looked menacing.

Dunno...I was a WWII aircraft model building kid so my bedroom ceiling had a B-17, a B-29, Corsairs, Mustangs, Me109s, and Fw190s suspended from it. By comparison, F-89s aren't exactly pretty...not to a me as a kid anyway. Monogram was my favorite so sent money to Morton Grove, IL on a regular basis. Spent a lot of time pouring over their catalog every time it showed up.

My dad got tired of the messes from spilled Testors glue and paint so he converted a closet into a model building station. I vividly remember feeling (what I now understand to be) totally stoned after one session in that hell hole with no ventilation. It felt awful and I still hate the smell of that stuff.
