    Really makes you wonder what the markup is on a can of Redbull

    One of these guys was the first to lose a nuke. They had icing issues flying over the inside passage and dropped it to try to save the plane. They ended up losing the aircraft and five of the crew.

    Probably the only fighter pilot to deliberately prevent himself from officially becoming a jet ace (he had 12 kills in WWII) because they would have rotated him home.

    The new Honda jet is at Oakland where I'm based right now. First I've seen it in person.

    Apologies for the sucky photos. It's dark on the ramp.
