I have a hard time hitting a dove going 60 with a shotgun from 20 yards standing still. I can't imagine trying to hit a plane going 370+ that is shooting at me, from a platform that is moving at 225 or so while in a formation and having to make sure you don't hit another bomber in your group. The lead required is changing all the time the fighter approaches and again as it leaves. Tougby txramfan - Bucky's Pub
No idea. Been a long time since I watched the Memphis Belle. Pure speculation it was for dramatic effect. Bombs wouldn't be on board, and if they were dropped while on the ground don't explode. That happened to another B 17 once while my pop was waiting to take off.by txramfan - Bucky's Pub
My understanding of the B 17 ball turret, which is limited, didn't require entry/exit while on the ground.When the twin 50s are aimed down the hatch was accessible from inside. I've seen photos showing people entering on the ground that weren't dressed for combat. My guess is they are servicing the weapons.by txramfan - Bucky's Pub
Im interested in where you found that info. I recall seeing a study of about 3 months of missions during 1944 and the ball turret position was one of the safest. Pilot, navigator, bombardier all had higher rate of being killed or wounded. Going off memory , so I ask. Side note, my dad this year after his 100th birthday told me about a mission when a piece of flak went through the dash andby txramfan - Bucky's Pub
I flew from DFW to Monroe LA with a pocket knife and wasn't stopped, and yes it was put in the tray with my keys, watch, pen to pass thru a metal detector. On the return flight that afternoon I was told my pocket knife wasn't allowed on board. So I had my checked bag returned and put it in. About 30 years ago I've a dog sit at a carry on bag when we returned from Italy thru NY. My daughter wasby txramfan - Bucky's Pub

Quotewaterfield What are those things. The storm's eye passed directly over our little community in San Juan Capistrano. Consistent winds 50-60 MPH for about an hour and half. Off and on rain -sometimes heavy and sometimes light. But the wind-WOW. Did you feel the earthquake ? My parents are in San Clemente, Estella Off ramp of the 5, and neither felt it.

In 1975 it was $27.50 ( might have been $25.50 ) an hour for a Cessna 150 and the instructor. High school my senior year offered a ground school taught by a science teacher who was a FAA approved ground school instructor. I passed the class didn't take the actual FAA test and didn't pursue my license. Class cost $50 and I have 3 1/2 hours of stick time. I recall it was 40 hours of flying to gby txramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

A lot of people, ooh 64,000+ , weren't to happy with the ending and the hundreds near me weren't happy with my loud cheering. I wisely left quietly and ignored the obviously sorry butt losers many who were drunk enough to want throw punches. I was invited to more than one fight walking out. Great memory.by txramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I think his first concert was the California Jam in 1974. I know I'm in his list 50+ times. Oddest thing I ever saw at a concert, well make that two.... Naked guy running through the infield of Anaheim Stadium during Ted Nugent. He slid on the grass in front of us and tried to impress a girl with his junk. We were waiting for the gates of the fence outside the Swing Auditorium to open.by txramfan - Bucky's Pub
Kansas, ELO and KISS are a couple of others from those days. Ozzy picked up my "cigarette" when I dropped it on stage, he took a puff and gave it back. I've had tinnitus since that show. Bob Seger had second billing that night.by txramfan - Bucky's Pub
I saw those acts during those years (76/77) And Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ted Nugent, Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin , BTO, Deep Purple, Bad Company and a bunch of other bands Thin Lizzy, Black Oak Arkansas, Mott the Hoople, come to mind. First time I saw Boston they opened for Thin Lizzy.by txramfan - Bucky's Pub

To find the fuse on my old system I removed the outer cover, then had to remove another about 2" x 4" cover. It was easy . It would pop I learned because some wires outside had rubbed together. I corrected that issue . Be sure and turn off power before messing with the system.by txramfan - Bucky's Pub
My old system, it died and was replace last year, had a 5amp blade fuse ( basic car type fuse) located on the air handler in my house that when it blew prevented the heat pump from turning on. Might be worth looking for if you can access the air handler. I found a capacitor in a local supply shop for HVAC and plumbing when my system died. Replaced it and it didn't bring it back.by txramfan - Bucky's Pub
I went to see a friend play at Gas Monkey years ago. Wife and I saw him and his girlfriend before the show and he introduced me to some of his other friends. Nice guys, friendly and fairly polite not at all what I expected from people flying Bandidos colors. My friend did some prison time and some Bandidos kept him safe and he's grateful they did so has remained friends with local members.by txramfan - Bucky's Pub
That's the old Firewater Bar and Grill location, which closed in 2009 , iirc, when its owner went to prison for selling pot. I hope it will reopen as a music venue, I've enjoyed the place over the years.by txramfan - Bucky's Pub
He died a week or so after finding his daughter, who had used a gun to commit suicide. They both were struggling with depression, iirc and coke triggered his heart failure.
