@10acrewoods I bet you could bag a whole flock of ducks with that gun!

Beautifully done.

The US did not give the Russkis any P-47s as far as I know but we did give them lots of Bell P-39 Aircobras. Out of a total production of about 7200 the Bolsheviks got over 6000. They liked them because it had tricycle gear and could be flown while drunk and it had a 37mm cannon that fired throug...

I remember this songwell from when I was in high school in Fairfax, VA. I always liked it. Marianne Faithful was a beauty and as far as I could tell a very nice person. I wonder what became of her.

Beautiful. How come no one today can write such exquisite music?

I remember when this came out in the summer of '67- I had just come back from Vietnam and was stationed at Ft. Ord, Ca. Grace Slick did a great job o this song- she really belts it out. I always liked it.

Excellent! No one could do this beautiful song any better than Edith Piaf. I hope she's an angel.

I was in High School in Fairfax, VA, when this came out. I thought it was a great song. I still do. I had a girlfriend named Linda back then. She was so beautiful- not a day has gone by in 45 years that I haven't thought of her. I joined the army after graduating and she married someone else. I a...

What a great song. It reminds me of all the girlfriends I had when I was a young man. Now I'm 64 and live alone.

Excellent. How come nothing like this is being written today?

It wasn't my intent to offend anyone with my comment but I see you were. Your response was unnecessarily rude, nasty and sarcastic. I suppose my reference to hunting is what you disliked the most. Too bad. You have exposed yourself as the nasty, mean hateful little liberal lefti...

The Cessna 150 is a pretty good bird but it sure could use a wee bit more power. I used to have a 1950 Piper Pacer (PA-20) with a 125 horse Lyc. 0-290. It was a good 2 place plane, a marginal 3 place and with 4 people aboard and full fuel I don't think it cold get off the ground. My plane , N7652...

I was 12 years old and living in Japan when this came out. (My dad was in the Air Force) I remember the original Santo & Johnny version very well. This version is just as good as the original.

Every Saturday night at 8 Armed Forces Radio had a show called "the Top Twenty" and they would play top ...

Why would anyone live there.

I remember this song from my high school years. Miss Springfield was a great performer. I never knew she was a lesbian- I recently read that and was very surprised. It doesn't alter the fact that she sure could sing.

These guys were pretty good and had a sense of humor too.

The famous Flying Tigers in China started out with 100 P-40s under General Chennault who understood the Japanese Zero fighter very well and developed tactics to defeat it- to get above the enemy. thencome down in a screaming dive, fire and climb back up. Any WW2 fighter that got into a turning fi...

Every now and then the subject of Statehood for this shithole rears its ugly head. I have a better idea- Independence. No more support from us. Let the Great Puerto Rican people show the world what they can do when free, free at last from the shackles and bonds of the hated Gringos.

I remember this very well- in the summer of '67 I had just come back from Vietnam and was stationed at Ft. Ord, CA. I had a '54 Austin-Healey and drove it up to San Francisco with 2 of my buddies- Bill Sturtevant and Steve Walton. We saw the Jefferson Airplane at some famous place- I can't rememb...

@xicanabolshevik She married someone else and is now the Deputy Director for Voter Registration in Albemarle County Virginia. (Charlottesvile) I still hope she'll divorce him and come back to me but it isn't looking too hopeful.

I don't think one day has gone by in 45 years that I haven't though...

How wonderful! What a great voice and what a great hymn.

It restoreth my soul.

@wesonthenet I know where Hell on earth is- Calexico, CA in the summer.

@AylishKelly I'm 64 and there is a picture you should see if you could find it. It was taken from a space probe close to Saturn, looking back to earth. There is an arrow pointing to to a small bluish dot and the word "earth". A tiny speck in space surrounded by immense blackness and other pinpoi...
