    Airplanes

    I've always felt that the Czech built Aero Ae45 is one of the most beautiful civilian piston twins ever built. Post pics of your favorite planes and talk about them.

    What Does Your Username Mean?/Avatars & Identity

    Maj. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington was the commanding officer of VMF-214 in WWII and also one of the highest scoring aces in the Pacific theater. They made a TV show about him in the late 70's called Baa Baa Black Sheep starring Robert Conrad. I chose him because I worked in aviation in the Marine...

    Reading about Greta Thurnberg

    I think she's a fraud in the same way that Mother Theresa was a fraud. Her trip across the Atlantic was a contrived publicity stunt that actually caused more pollution than if she had just got in a damn plane. And I can't stand the way she just uses shaming tactics to get people to agree with...

    Do you still plan to dress up for Halloween this year?

    The problem with the whole Alien Invasion genre...

    Gene Roddenberry was always a bit of a pie in the sky utopian and that always annoyed me about Star Trek. This idea that we can get past the need for money is just wishful thinking.

    The problem with the whole Alien Invasion genre...

    I've given this some thought and I've come to the conclusion that almost all of the Alien Invasion movies have got it wrong and it all comes down to one thing... money. No matter how advanced an alien civilization is, interstellar space travel has to be ridiculously expensive. Sending a force...

    RIP Eddie Van Halen.

    Possible but not likely. There's a reason that there are more male geniuses than female, it's because there are more men who are drooling idiots. Psychologists have know for some time now that women's IQ's tend to cluster around average. Evolutionarily speaking, this makes sense because nature...

    Wrong Planet

    That's been going on for years there, only the names change. The WP mod staff has always suffered from a toxic culture that has never gone away. They need an administrator who cares enough to put in the effort to change the culture and that will probably never happen.
