  1. Just got the Roland! Only German planes I'm missing are the Brandenburg and the D8!
  2. Hey! I bet that picture was taken at Ellsworth AFB, SD. I lived there for about three years. Those B-1s are BIG planes. Through Civil Air Patrol when I was younger, I got to lay in the back of a KC-135 with the boom operator while they were refueling planes coming in for an air show at Shaw AFB, SC. One of the planes I got to watch was a B-1. They have this amazing windshield which blacks out in direct light, much like those "auto tint sunglasses," to shield against the light of a nuclear explosion I imagine.... Very neat story though. Not one I want to read right after I get done flying, and have another one to look forward to in a few weeks... but still. Coincidentally I've seen two of the eight currently on display. One at Ellsworth, and the other where I am now, visiting my parents; Robins AFB, GA.
  3. Powerful stuff. I still remember my trip to Normandy about 10 years ago. I mostly remember how "wavy" the ground was, from shelling/bombing.
  4. We could always have competitive pvp woodcutting matches where we try to get a tree to fall on other people... http://store.steampowered.com/app/267610/
  5. And I wonder what went through his mind at that bounce! That's gotta get your heart racing at least a little.
