How do I remember? I don't know, but I do have my personal recordings of
several of these missions as reminders of some points. The recordings don't
do them justice, though - not nearly the same without the slipstream and
engine noise, G forces and the buffeting from wing tip high-speed stalls
That is nothing short of amazing. All crews were well trained.
Some crews were truly crews who functioned as one. THis crew took it
even further, to virtuoso level. Complete understanding of all
systems, and their requirements and limitations, including the enemy
systems. Distinguished Flyi

Wilton- you should really turn these tales into a book. I bet there is a
publisher who would love these up-close stories of this war. Sorry if I
sound like an academic. They are so well written & I think previously
untold. ATTABOY.

Hi All,
What is that loud ticking sound coming out the bottom of my freshly
overhauled transmission at cold idle, up near where it joins the motor? Is
it normal, or are the torque converter bolts loose or something? It is
definitely louder lately. I want to say about 2 ticks per second. You can

RADIO HANOI - LONGEST 8 SECONDS

My crew's target the night of 19 Dec '72, the second night of the

My strong scotch ale is getting low, and I only have a bottle or two of
my hoppy brown ale, so time to get more going! My daughter brought me
some she had made, a couple are left...
I think for Christmas I will ask Santa for the BrewPi board and stuff, I
have the Raspi so that is good to go.

I'd try to make the seller eat the transfer fee, but the disposition fee is

I've been using an inexpensive Johnson Controls analog temp controller
for about ten years now. Works fine, absolute to the degree control
isn't really necessary, and they are cheap.
I did burn one up though on the old fridge with a bad compressor that

Last call. Does anyone have a 123 fuel sender or a midnight blue
hubcap for a 123? I've had no positive responses so far. If you
