I can't put my finger on what it is, but there is something that annoys me about the Humans of New York thing.

Does it: make you feel Sikh?

The world's only two flying Lancaster bombers, just flew directly over my house; eight merlins make a nice sound together.  :bowler:

It's OK.  It's highly overrated.
It's good, but yeah a bit overrated especially these days with all of the other gourmet burger chains (which In N' Out really isn't anyway).  I do make a point of going to one every time I'm in California, though.

Yeah, I think they're at the local airport, I'll see if I can get down there when they take off tomorrow, though I'll probably choose the wrong runway.

Here they are just landed:



Looks very wartime, given it was built as a wartime RAF base, but I don't think Lancasters were ever based there, more American and D-day operations flown there.

Well that outdoes the B-17 that was flying back & forth over my house last weekend :mellow:

Local airport (used to be the main Cincy airport) had an event sponsored by some warbird preservation group that was mainly geared toward membership plus getting people to pony up $450+ to ride in a B-17.  They apparently got several people to sign up.  I took the kids and got free food.  They got to look inside a B-25 and of course my nephew asked if they were allowed to shoot the .50 call guns :lol:

Seedy back in 1986:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
