  1. That was badass.  I parked my truck just in time to get out and see them right overhead.  
    When I got hired at my current job we had a former Thunderbird guy in my class.  He's exactly the guy you'd think he'd be.  Smart, humble, funny, jacked, gets drunk as fuck at the bar every night and the next day in class he's verbally dissecting aircraft systems like he built thing, then planning the next happy hour when the rest of us are just trying our hardest to keep up.  
    My 15 year old, who has grown up around airplanes, first words after they went over today were, "I wanna do that."  Spoiler alert... he's colorblind, it ain't gonna happen.  

    Yep, Had a buddy that was color blind that somehow slipped thru a bunch of Navy flight physicals. Finally caught up to him in an ugly crash. Of course the causal factor was his “color blindness”. Time to steer your boy to another profession.
  2. That's two girls from the kpop group Blackpink, and they're not in the movie.

    After further review it appears you are correct. Definite Google trickfuck if there ever was one. Regardless the two movie stars look a bunch like those 2 in the fake pic. Of course Korean hotties do have pretty much the same look, (no racist.)
  3. I'm not one for ooh-ing or aw-ing about most things but the ability and balls to fly in close formation is bad ass.  And I think of these flyovers as much more impressive than they tricks at air shows. The air show performances are awesome but I assume very well choreographed with timing.  These fly-overs are unique flight paths over extended  periods of time.

    I disagree. While air show stuff is well planned, it involves much more complex and dangerous maneuvers. These flyovers are pretty much basic formation (albeit a bit tighter than normal) that most junior hornet or viper pilots could perform. Very cool, but pretty easy stuff for these pilots.
  4. Back in the old days I always knew what countries dubbed their American TV shows and what countries did not. The more English the locals spoke, the less they dubbed (and vice versa.)

     

    Nowadays it doesn’t seem to equate as much. I think other countries have more of their own content (watch less American TV) or dubbing is more prevalent.

  5. Film Appreciation 101 told me that watching a dubbed movie is a no go. (Something about vocal inflection and nuance.) Of course that class also said that The Magnificent Ambersons was the greatest movie ever so the prof was obviously confused.

  6. Firstly, I am a healthy middle age white guy with no underlying medical issues. And I certainly understand the severity of the situation.

     

    But since this mess started I’ve been to New York, Paris, Milan and Madrid. (Work, and was very tempted to hug one of those cute Chinese girls the Milan mayor wanted everyone to hug.)

     

    Been on a week long cruise, (family reunion so I was forced to go. Ended the day they were basically shut down, Mar11.)

     

    Still shopping almost daily when home (certainly taking precautions.)

     

    Still traveling almost weekly for work, (essential.)

     

    Oh and my next door neighbors got the plague. (Mild cases all and I will be drinking 6 feet away from them tonight.)

     

    My question for the doomsayers is, wasn’t I suppose to be dead a month ago or so?

     

    And looking at the bottom line, Texas has done a great job. Time to start (carefully) opening things back up.

  7. I'm pretty blown away with how cheap a baby tiger is.  Dogs from a decent breeder could easily run you more than a baby tiger.

    Yea but a bag of Purina costs a whole bunch less than pounds of meat those beasts eat daily. (Not including Carols feed your hubby to the Tigers night.)
  8. Ok, I’m deemed “essential”. And I flew on AA DFW-SoCal last Monday night (and back Thursday.) It was really light as far as DFW -anything goes. No wait getting a drink at the club, very light flight (maybe 1/3 full.) Compare that tonight, the C terminal club may be had 10 folks in it at 8pm and it closed 1 hour early. But between that flight and the return, nothing really stupid light.

     

    But the vicious rumor circulating thru out the Admirals club EMPLOYEES was that AA was SHUTTING down Wednesday! As the Poo-Ba at the club told me minutes ago, you better find another way home.

     

    Could be a vicious rumor but considering there are 11 open seats in first to SOCAL this flight is historically empty. So I don’t doubt that rumor.

     

    The good news is that folks are taking this seriously. (Unlike Milan when I was there in late JAN and the mayor was encouraging locals to make out with Chinese peeps.)
