Very cool! Happy Birthday to you!

Bones is probably already up there rolling his eyes and getting annoyed with Spock.
Rest in peace, Leonard Nimoy. You will be missed.

I'm in. I've got a Hase Scooter in the stash.

Not so much weird as it was a bit freaky (the first time it happened, anyway) but, X-acto blades and blood thinners. Need I say more?
Doesn't bother me any more, I've been on Warfarin for over 10 years now, but the first couple of times it happened it was a bit freaky.

The whole thing is awesome, but I really love that stainless steel/magnet idea for the instructions!

I'll be at the August 1st show at the Forum in L.A. :D

My sincerest condolences to Vince and his family. Very sorry for your loss.

One of the comments mentioned the NOAA N Prime Anomaly in 2003
The investigation report determined
In other words, somebody removed the bolts, the operations team didn't check to see if the spacecraft was still bolted onto the TOC, they went to tip it over, and...
The spacecraft was repaired and eventually launched in 2008.
Oh, I remember this one quite well. Big story out here at Vandenberg once the payload finally arrived at the launch site after the...ahem..."incident."

Probably a silly question, but does anyone know if that 1:48 B-1B will have some featherless exhausts included?

My New Year's Resolution? SAVE MONEY! I've never been good at budgeting and saving cash. That ends now. I'm going to start putting some dough away. Other than that, I'm with Taiidan Tomcat :-)

Woo-hoo! I won! Wish I could have been in the chat room with you guys, bet it was a blast, but I had to work. Anyway, I choose this:
26) Fujimi 1/72 BAe Hawk Red Arrows
THANK YOU SO MUCH :D/> :D/> :D/>

Yes, Die Hard for me, too :)

We gotta hook up and do some real down home FOAMIN' :woot.gif:/> :D/>
Yessir!

I'll be watching as well. Plus, we have a classified NRO payload launch from here at Vandenberg on the 11th of December, too :)

Avgeek...Well OK fine, I now find myself tagged with another moniker, that has a crossover in class; by that I mean I'm also called a railfan (yes I go out watching locomotives from UP,BNSF the ones in SoCal :D/> ), and the non-flattering foamer (so called by railway employees), they're the same only one gets wide-eyed when he/she sees aircraft the other when he/she sees a Railway locomotive (ie GEVO, AC 6000, GE Dash 9-44CW). I would imagine there are those who do the with seagoing craft. Whatever the type of transportation it's vehicles will have fans....who can't see enough of them.
Clif...I am a railfan as well :-)

" src="http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/public/style_emoticons/default/post1.gif">Glad to have you aboard. Enjoy! I saw an Aurora perform at an air show here in California about probably about 8 years ago. Sharp looking aircraft. When I was younger (about 5 or 6 years old), their P-3 American counterparts were constant visitors shooting touch-n-goes here at Vandenberg Air Force Base, and was actually the very aircraft I learned to ID by the MAD boom.Still see them here on a rare basis.

Ever see the Blue Angels yellow (aka Banana Suits)flight suits?! :banana:/>/>/>
I haven't seen any recent pics of them in the white. I remember them as a kid when they were in T-38s wearing them, they may be gone and the red ones seem to come out on rare occasions...if you see the pic of the Solo ejecting he is in red. They used to have a gray suit that they wore back at Nellis.
Yeah, I saw the Blues bust out the banana suits for their first post-sequestration demo at El Centro. I like them. Very striking. Now that I see the T-Birds with white flight suits, I'm not sure I really care for them. They're kind of bland. I do like the red ones. That gray one, though. Wow...that one is just plain sweet. That one just screams "bada$$." Love it.

I believe those are the equivalent rank insignia, to his own, of the other coalition forces involved.
Ah...I see! Very interesting. Thanks.

Ah yes...one of my favorite questions. My musical tastes are pretty much all over the map, so when I'm building, I can be found listening to anything from Van Halen to 2Pac to Godsmack or Disturbed, with Depeche Mode, Pink, Incubus, OneRepublic and oh, I don't know, maybe Imagine Dragons or Green Day thrown in there, too. As you probably can tell, I don't really have a favorite genre of music.

What is the brown badge that Gen. Schwarzkopf has hanging from the right pocket of his BDU's underneath his name tag?
-
OK...I think I know what your asking.
The TB groundpounders wear a dark blue work uniform, I'd probably paint them Flat Insignia Blue, they don't have an Insignia RED uniform at all. The pilots have a red, white or dark blue flight suits.
The squadron does have its own assigned photo and video crew. Watch here;
Whoa! They have white flight suits? Never seen those. SWEET! I have seen the red and blue ones, though.
1:48 Revell F-15C (kit #5283)

Hey all! Almost done with my 1:32 Academy Hornet and I'm thinking that next on the list will be my 1:48 Revell F-15C, but I have a couple questions about mixing and matching from the Revell Strike Eagle kit. I was wondering...will the exhaust nozzles from the Mudhen kit fit in this one? Got a spare set lying around and, IMHO, those look better than what came with the kit. And the intake covers in the Mudhen kit. Will those fit as well? Plus, does anybody know a way to modify it so I don't have to put that nose gear strut in prior to assembly? Thanks for the help :-)
