A good reference on German aerial torpedo operations in WWI is:

Maybe an iffy cable on the problematic headset? Try swapping cables.

Someone asked last night if torpedo bombing was a thing in WWI. 
On 12 August 1915, a Royal Naval Air Service Short 184 floatplane torpedo bomber sank a Turkish merchantman in the Sea of Marmara. It was operating from HMS Ben-my-Chree, a seaplane carrier converted from a ferry. Fitted with an aircraft hangar, Ben-my-Chree was used to carry up to six biplanes with their wings folded back to reduce carrying space.
This was the first ship sunk by air-launched torpedo. Five days later, another ship supplying Turkish forces in the Gallipoli campaign against British, Australian and New Zealand troops was also sunk.
Production of the Short 184 continued until after the Armistice of 11 November 1918, with a total of 936 built by several manufacturers. It served in eight navies, including the Imperial Japanese Navy, which built them under licence.[7]

Fabric and paint work continue...

I just talked with Dan Valk, a senior check airman/instructor here and he thinks he can swing a tour for us. I had helped him with ideas and reviewing for his new captain upgrade course being developed and he is also really interested in building a VR sim of his own very soon (in fact I may be asking ppl to be online next week sometime when I have him try my sim). He has to go to work that Friday evening (Jun 20) so he is talking about the Wed or Thursday evening (maybe around 6 pm?). He has to clear it with the flight standards manager but he's already looked at the sim schedule and doesn't think it will be a problem. We will also have opportunity to visit the hangar and go in a real B-767. I told him we would be happy for whatever day/time he can arrange.
Anyone else thinking about coming for the airshow, etc.?

Everything except the black and white photos are glass. I minored in photography.
As far back as I remember I was an aviation nut building models both plastic / static and flying. First free flight / control line then RC. My first RC was rudder only with rubber band powered escapement... super Old School. I was also always drawing / painting airplane art and eventually moved to surf art and landscapes. By college undergraduate I had focused on art and discovered glassblowing. I focused on glass art through graduate school and right after grad school got a job as Studio Manager at the Rhode Island School of Design, one of the premier art institutions in the USA. I was finally making a fair amount of money, enough to fulfill my dream of flying. Got my PPL and by that point began to get disillusioned with Academia and Art in general. It seemed to me that to be successful, you had to kowtow to rich patrons and gallery owners. I got the idea that if I became an aircraft mechanic I could buy an aircraft and save lots of money by doing all my own maintenance. I went cross country to attend A&P school in Oakland and was also working at California College of Arts and Crafts as Studio Manager. Well, A&P school cost a lot and when I graduated there was very little demand for mechanics. So I continued the Studio Manager gig while working part time doing dope and fabric restorations. Pay was fair but not enough to buy a plane. After settling in the Bay Area working in GA there was never enough spare bucks so I never did buy a plane. Now that I'm retired, I dabbling again in glass and still hoping to find a "barn find" fixer upper plane.  

While websurfing I decided to take a look at the Ohio State University archives and came across my MFA Thesis from 1985. Unfortunately it was a pretty poor quality PDF especially because I didn't use archival materials when assembling it. Pretty sure that I used spray adhesive to mount the photos because there was lots of adhesive bleed which discolored the paper. I've spent the last week or so Photoshopping the images to somewhat bring them back to how I remember them to have been. The text is somewhat embarrassing as to it's quality and you can probably tell from the images subject matter that I wasn't in the best emotional shape at the time. But I do have really good memories from that time and miss all of the friends that I had. Having to re-build almost all of the studio equipment made me somewhat resentful at the time but it lead to my future careers as Studio Manager at both RISD and CCAC. I'm attaching the photos here. To see the thesis and all of the photos go to Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ss69zyeg5roda02wuwsop/ADLV7_aFnFbbt7STkSm0prY?rlkey=hxsz88iw8nxc583xjpsxj4sye&st=vn7m4mhp&dl=0

Seriously considering this. Will any other spouses be attending?

Bumping to encourage sign ups. I'm 90% on going but waiting to work out a possible conflict.
