  1. Nice Phantom and Tomcat.

    Does the Phantom have the re-inforced landing gear like the Navy fighters or is it just a jar-head jet?

    Is that an A-4 in the background? Hard to tell.

    Love the bi-plane with radials, except for the yellow paint.

    Is that dope and fabric?

    Whats the Piedmont plane?

    DC-3, DC-2?

    Can`t figure out the one with all the windows in the nose above the F-4`s verticle.

    The Phantom is just a standard Marine Corps Phantom. I was told by the other staff that it's an S model but I'm not 100% sure

    We do have an A-4 next to the Phantom, but it's out of the picture to the left, the aircraft along the far side of the hanger are from right to left: F-14D, A7E Corsair II, AV-8B Harrier

    The Biplane is a Boeing Steerman used as a trainer aircraft during WWII, the yellow paint is because that's how it was when the Navy was using it in the 40's, and that is in fact fabric covered.

    The Piedmont Airlines (which was bought by US Airways in the 80's and is the reason Charlotte is the main US Airways Hub) is a DC-3 and is one of 3 aircraft we have that are in flying condition, and in fact it just came back this week from the Oshkosh Airshow a few days ago (the other 2 are a pair of Grumman OV-1 Mohawks)

  2. Wish she would just get those big knockers out and stop teasing all the time. It's getting boring now.

    :lol: Too right, mate! There should be a smiley for yelling at Gemma to stop playing around and show 'em.

  3. Congrats! I think my mom taught me to use our washing machine when I was 13. That was the last time she ever did a load of my dirty clothes.

    I always knew that I was going to end up having to learn to do it before I went to college, but that wasn't the underlying reason I finally learned how. My mom used to do laundry regularly, and whenever my stepdad (both my parents are divorced and remarried and I see both regularly) or I would ask if we could help out, she said she didn't mind doing it. But this summer she's been really busy with work, and so she hasn't really done any laundry (which is completely fine with me because her work is really hard), but the reality was that I haven't had very many clean clothes. In fact most of the time this summer I've made a point of wearing the same shorts for at least 3 days in a row if they aren't messy. However, socks and boxers are a differant matter, so one day after she got home I asked her how to do it and she showed me. Oh and by the way, Zeppelin I is a really good album to listen to while doing laundry. :D Anyone ever tried this?
