the Normandy beaches. On that morning we lost one plane on take off. It
crashed and burned. The entire 4,000 pound bomb load exploded setting off the
full fuel tanks and all the MG ammo in the belts. The miraculous thig...

I'm Hit!, I'm Hit!

Vandalism, security measure, or something else? by
Peter Duniho
I was in Tucson over the holidays. At the AFB there (Davis-Monthan), they
keep a lot of aircraft in storage. At the south end of the base, several
recent arrivals were parked near the fence. For some reason, the "U.S. Air
Force" markings on the side had been torn up.
Does anyone have any idea...

Is this newsgroup dying? by
vzlion
If so it shioyld be changed to rec.politics. This is suppose to be
about aviation, not politics. If it's to survive it needs a monitor to
scan out tyhe non-aviation subjects. If I want to read about politics
I'll go to another newsdroup or watch the news or read the paper.
