Don't forget the Dr. Pepper Museum as well..... :)

Except the FEMA person wasn't delivering anything at all, but going to assess damage to a specific location. I never said anything about getting rid of FEMA or anything else, but that we needed to change their attitude from what it is now, to one where they actually serve the people that they...

If they are that timid to listen to and understand and process what the locals are saying, then they have no business being in a disaster area. My God, they could be hit by lightning in the rain, they could fall down getting out of their car and so on....They need to regain a little common...

If you actually read the article, the residents were using the road and getting supplies in and out on their own. The road was not functioning as normal, but was passable with some care. There are lots of great people in FEMA, but you also have a huge number that either are so wrapped up in...

FEMA can't help a town due to a road sign....More reason FEMA needs to be overhauled and and staffed with people that have a "make things work" attitude over what is seemingly prevalent out in the field...

If you watch his video, it was the local fire guy that wanted him arrested. The Michigan crew wanted his help.

Had to go look....yeah, back in 2021....time flies

aterry: You might have known my current boss while at Pax... Russ Novander. He was there and at Hill for a number of years.

Only place that I ever worked that had a "Shoot First, ask questions after the smoke clears" policy. Any of the security teams had the ability to call for the launch of armed fighters from Nellis and give the freedom to fire on targets. Made you darn careful what you did and gave you good...

aterry: We might have crossed paths at FTW...I moved to the program from Block 60, about the time BF-2 came out of Fuel Ops. Only travel I did for the company was a quickie out to Tuscon and back for one day test. Did spend several months at NNSS, northwest of Vegas, long before I started at GD.

Nauga....Could be....GD factory guy from 1986 to end of '87. FTI from Jan 88 til May 94. Back to the factory til Halloween 94 layoff. May 97 recalled to factory, laid off again in 1999. Recalled in 2000 to F-22, then to the fright line in 2002. Used to deal with Bob Vanderpoel out at Edwards...

Only live missile stuff I ever got to play with, was some parts for a payload fairing on an Atlas 2. They were instrumented for a test at PlumBrook and then that fairing was flown a few months later. Everything else was captive dummies, sometimes with active seeker/guidance systems. I was...

Even though I had an engineering title, I did very little down that path. Only true engineering work I did was to design a quick look data pod that would take up to 24 channels of data and drew no power from the aircraft. Hang it on a pylon, wire in the data stuff and go fly. It got built a few...

Always thought that program was used to hide another even blacker program.... aterry1067: I did the Flight Test thing for about 7 years, but was on the Instrumentation side of things, We still were supporting F-111 E4 at Eddie's Airpatch when I went back to the factory side of things.

Yep...

Still there for a few more years. I date back to the GD days....

They progressed from a Stearman to a BT then a T-6 and on to the Mustang or other fighter. By the time they go to the fighters, they had 250-300 hours of military flight training, no matter how much civilian time they had. One uncle went from cubs to L-5's, while his brother went from Steamans...

70 foot wood trusses are going to be massive. The material cost alone would most likely exceed the cost of steel trusses and their hanging costs. Additionally, it would require some heavy engineering for a block wall to support wood trusses and all the stresses they will impart on the walls. The...

If I'm in one of my trucks, then I have to walk up to the ATM in the drive thru, as it's the only one at the bank, and the security poles are set too close to get in without hitting every one of them..They were set at about 76" apart and the smallest truck is 79" wide....Idiot architects......
