golfaddict1 Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Thank you to Mrs GA, who shared this info with me a short while ago. She digs research too, not so much HSFB research though lol. US isn’t going to Ukraine. They are showing support from a distance. That’s the plan so far.

If you like tracking aircraft... you might like this channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/MonkeyWerxUS but you could also go to the actual sources he uses, if you were afraid of any bias... 🤷♂️ PS: The latest "bias", is stated as them Ruskies have taken out at least 6 bio-weapons labs (operated by our DOD) in the UKR.... 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one freaky flight she was on when I was following her and the landing altitude was very low and seconds from touching down and the plane went right back up to get back in landing line up position because the wind sheer was too intense. Was wild seeing the altitude numbers fluctuate. Some fly-by’s from a fairly recent air and sea show in Ft Laud. I’ll add shortly. 2017 I think Disregard the dates showing if they do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grew up watching air shows...LOL The AC one fell off quite a bit in recent years, but looked like it was making a big comeback last year. 😎 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing will match it. The power of fighter pilots having some fun and the 9/11 memory (still very raw) hit deep. It was a sight to behold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several times we snuck out to the roof and watched the Concorde take off. Was so cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO (call me biased) a better job than "Sully"...🤷♂️ PS: I'll have to dig up a pic of that Concorde 😎 (disclaimer...it could have been a 727...can't remember what he was flying that year🤷♂️) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot? 👍🏻 Lost another cell post. 😞 Tried to edit onto this one. 👏 to your Dad. So fucking cool! This isn’t a troll post right? Lol. I believe you. That’s amazing. Sully indeed we all know the name. But many heroes. Good friend’s father was an air traffic controller for the tri-state area. He worked at many, but of course JFK. Sadly, he passed away young… ‘83-85 period. My Dad worked on auto landing gear systems at Bendix I believe. He was a physicist/engineer. Same company had a contract with NASA, that my dad worked on. He took security breach a tad too serious… he didn’t inform his family for another 40 years lol. So proud of him. He was everything to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know he came back "all shot up", but not "shot down", a lucky 13 times... 😲 PS: Also proud of my dad for many things, but I'm certain he would not want "war service" to be anywhere near, the top of the list. 🕊️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your dad is a hero. So cool. I hear the last mention and believe it for sure. My dad was in the Air Force and got very sick with some kind of pneumonia/one main organ affected type of nasty… eventually was released. He had a desk job after the preliminary training, working with Clark Kent frames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
