• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Last friday,i was on the phone with a guy who was going to deliver my new adjustable bed platform,i heard the sound of "heavy" radial engines,and told him "some thing wicked this way comes" and dropped the phone to "hurry" ,well as fast as a fatman with a messed up back can,to the back slider and outside to look up and see the belly of fifi as she made a slow and low pass over my house.we have a lot of trees here,so i didnt get to see her for long,but boy what a sight and sound!!

the bad part?...for an hour afterwards,the neighbors who were home were all knocking on the door and asking "what the heck was that plane??"...they all know im kind of a kook about planes n things ,and that i carry a scanner where ever i go.yesterday mom and i ended up at a local home show,i have the "safety" flag pole with a telescopic scanner antenna mounted on the top,people would stop me and ask if i had a CB or ham radio with me,and would be dissapointed when i said it was "just a scanner"..lol.
 
Love it when that happens! Never had it happen with a B-29 though... Good stuff! :encouragement:
 
It's even better when you go for the ride!

I live in Lake Charles,La. Quite a while back she came here. I got to go inside but could not afford to fly though. Brought my book with her in it and got several autographs . One by a man who fought in the BoB and later for USAAF during WWII . Got to watch the B-29 take off and the smell and sounds i still remember.
