Thanks. Like I said, I’m old. Cultural jokes & references are becoming increasingly foreign to me.

Its rare that the big (or smaller) stations don't have airstrips.
I always loved landing on dirt/sod instead of concrete. There’s something primal about it - like black powder instead of smokeless.

28 minutes ago, Buckshot Bear said:THE LARGEST CATTLE STATION IN THE WORLD - ANNA CREEK STATION.The Anna Creek Station was bought by Sir Sidney Kidman, Australia’s so-called “cattle king”, who owned large areas of land across Australia during his lifetime.Kidman was thirteen when he ran away from his Adelaide home in 1870 with only 5 shillings in pocket and a one-eyed horse that he had bought with his savings. His teen years, Kidman worked as a drover, stockman and livestock trader, and made money supplying services to new mining towns springing up in outback. Eventually he had saved enough to buy his own station.Kidman began gobbling up one estate after another until he was the biggest landholder in the world by World War I. At one point, the size of Kidman’s properties exceeded the size of the entire United Kingdom.
Looks like an airstrip on the edge of the property in the third pic.

I rode a Kawasaki Mach 3 750 triple a couple of times back around 1971-72. Acceleration was mind-numbing and combined with marginal stability for such a bike. Think I might have had to change my underwear after my second (and last) ride…
Oh, to be young and stupid again!

Hijack alert!!
Ok, so the M-79 was deemed obsolete as a stand-alone weapon and also not versatile enough, so it was combined with the AR platform to make the M-203. But now, the M-203 is obsolete and they're going back to a stand-alone weapon with an improved version of the M-79 with the M-320? I don't get it.

Yep. That AIM-9 came loose during landing. Happened about 15 years ago.
Somewhere down the line the image was reversed.
I can make out a correctly oriented letter E ahead of the cockpit. Could he have been landing on the centerline deck?

Pic is reversed for some reason.
That’s quite a contraption.
