  1. These guy might have something: https://www.tombstonegrips.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=TGG&Category_Code=SW
  2. Don't have any of 'em. Don't miss them either from what I hear about 'em.
  3. The OV-10 was a badass airplane, but not quite as much as that video makes it out to be. The rear mounted M197 shown was tried, but never adopted. There was a plan back in the late 80s called the D-SLEP plan. The D was the version of the OV-10 that was the latest upgrade, having advanced electronics in the nose that included RADAR and FLIR systems. It looked like R2D2's head mounted upside down. Part of the plan was to extend the wingtip several feet and mount Sidewinder rails on them. While the OV-10A had provisions for Sidewinders on the wing stations, they were replaced by regular bomb racks on the D model. But the part that had most people, especially the pilots, was to mount a turret from a Cobra helicopter under the fuselage that would be controlled with the FLIR system. Unfortunately, this never came about. The Marine Corps was all about Fast Movers, (jet aircraft), and helicopters, so the OV-10 was treated like a redheaded stepchild. I'm pretty sure that that attitude is what lead to the OV-10's removal from service. The red circle shows the FLIR on the nose. This shows how the OV-10D SLEP would look.
  4. Here's one for you. When I was stationed in Massachusetts, During the morning commute, about 2 out of 3 drivers had a newspaper across their steering wheel. On the Interstate!
  5. Pilots attacking a ground target can be a victim of something called "Target Fixation", where they are so intent on shooting the target that they fly into the target on the ground. We lost a pilot in my squadron to it.
  6. Nothing, but that's what the Lame Stream Media has taught him to do if he doesn't get his way.
  7. That's only in politics. In Pilgrim traffic, the guy with the crappiest car has the Right of Way.
  8. I know that I'll probably regret asking, but why? If the answer is "Just to see if I can," I'll understand, but knowing you, Alpo...
  9. I agree with both of you, and I would never expect to add Trump to it, I just saw the picture and had to add it to the mix.
  10. They probably just need to recalibrate the hemulator in the framastat.
  11. Older women wearing red hats doing things in groups.
  12. IF, and that's a BIG if, I had that kind of money, and IF I knew anybody who was worthy of that, I would open a Trust Account with that amount of money for each child, IN THE CHILD'S name. Quite frankly I never worked with anybody that I'd buy those big school candy bars off their kid unless I really just wanted the candy bar.
  13. That's AOC with her hair pulled back so that you can see the rocks in her head.
  14. You'd need a Cryogenic Dewar to even try to store the stuff. At that, they're not that great. With liquid nitrogen or oxygen, you can count on about a 10% per day loss of product. I delivered them when I worked for Praxair, we pretty much had to order them from the fill plant when we knew they were going to be delivered. If they sat for a week, we had to send them back because they'd lost enough product that we couldn't sell them.
  15. I wear a red MAGA hat to the gym. I wear a black one everywhere else. I've made a LOT of new friends because of them. I suppose that the party loyal are going to vote "D" no matter who or what is running. And Pima County is about 75% "D". You wouldn't know it by the responses my hats have garnered. And yeah, I'm partially doing it to see if I can push Karen's buttons. Not so far.
  16. I've heard of people wearing an eyepatch over their dominant eye to force themselves to use the non-dominant eye. It's called "shooting patch"
  17. I don't think that's Boot Camp. Their trousers are bloused. They don't, (didn't anyway), blouse their trousers until they graduate.
