Oh, and it's clear liquids again today. I'm having another test tommorrow.

Isn't Gray Goose a clear liquid?

Sure is! Though I think my instructions specifically say no alchol.

Back in the '80s, I helped my dentist restore his XKE with my trips to his office.

When i lived in DC my condo had a private parking space in a parking garage.  The space next to me had a V12 one of these in it with a layer of dust on it a quarter inch thick and the last time the tags had been updated was 1988... I tried for 2 years for the condo administration to let me know who's space it was, but they wouldn't tell me for privacy rules and nobody replied to the notices I put up.  I wanted to offer some little old lady or senile guy who owned it a couple thousand to "take it off their hands" (there were tons of people one step away from the home in my building)

Bet it is still there.... should have just towed it off with me when I left... nobody would have known

it was after they 100 kills in the pacific theater (i was wrong it seems ;( ) that the 39th Fighter Squadron adopted the shark faced motif on the P-38's in 1943


Capt. Robert Faurot from Cape Girardeau,MO. He shot down two Japanese Zeroes in New Guinea. 39th Fighter Squadron, 35th Fighter Group.

I have always had a spot in my heart for non-traditional war planes in WWII... the P-38 counted as one for sure.

My favorite was the Japanese Shinden

They had a show on the military channel not too long ago about all the different planes the Japanese had in development right before they surrendered  .  .  .  we would have needed Captain America if they had gotten them into production  .  .  .  very strange, and lethal things  .  .  .  and what about the jets the Nazis had right at the end  .  .  .  war certainly moves technology along  .  .  .  but, at a pretty horrific price  .  .  .  I'm still good with biplanes, and dirigibles  .  .  .

This is the unit that actually pioneered the use of the shark mouth motif:

RAF No. 112 Squadron in North Africa, 1943.

But weren't the Flying Tigers, using it in the late 30's in China????  What a coincidence, I was once in my late thirties too  .  .  .
