Bud Anderson a Triple Ace who flew in WWII, Korea,and at 48 years old in Vietnam, was not as well known as Chuck Yeager and Bob Hoover but he was of the same Metal. A great American Hero. RIP Old Crow. Grandson Chad and Bud checking out the Warbirds at Oshkosh Airshow

Son and Daughter both flew the T-34C while going thru Navy Flight School. It is a REAL shame that Beechcraft will NOT let the Navy sell the 34s to civilians due to liability.

It's The Commemorative Air Force (CAF), formerly known as the Confederate Air Force. The name change was all about the money and support.

Wifie and I visited the Boneyard and Pima Air Museum in 2007. What was sad for me was seeing the REMAINS of the XC-99 which is the cargo version of the B-36. I first saw the 99 at a distance in 1960 while at Lackland AFB during boot camp. Then in 1964 we took a tour of it during our first trip...

Unfortunately all I could watch was the making of it, which was very interesting. We do not get HBO.

As stated in the video the Belle was not the first B-17 to complete 25 missions. Here is the story of the First heavy bomber to complete 25 missions and on it's way back to the States when tragedy struck. The B–24 bomber crew of the "Hot Stuff" had a distinguished career and became the first...

Armybrat, Very nice. It also looks like you have some 500 Gr. REAL OLD CENTRAL Fire cartridges. Yes that is what they were first called not Center Fire One of the old timers in Richmond that owned Lanes Trading Post had a Trapdoor Rifle hanging on the wall. He told me that at the start of...

The rest of the Gang 1866 Short Rifle in 44WCF/44-40

In the thread "Lever action Rifle .44 mag or 45-70" I pretty much stated why I like the 45-70s both single and lever actions. Well I thought I would post pictures of my favorites. Yea I like all my shooters and shoot others more, BUT The top one is a 1973 H&R Officer Model Springfield...

So what is the problem?? All of the above info is in public records. My info is still in the phone book, remember those. Put in your address and your name will come up in the tax records. Family pictures are on this site and facebook among other sites. C. J. Hayden Jr. 15 W Kitty Hawk...

I'm currently reading "Masters Of The Air" It tells how and why the 8TH Air Force was formed and not just about the 100th Bomb Group. It also goes into detail of the slaughter of the aircrews during the early bombing missions over Europe. If you enjoy WWII history I recommend it. Yes I saw the...

41Dude If you would state what you plan on using the rifle for and if you reload I might be able to help more. For all of the 45-70 haters that think it is a shoulder thumper WRONG. It can be a great plinker. You can also have fun without loading to the max. I have shot as many 50 of my light...

Looks like the pull over at Wolf Creek Pass looking West. We have been over it many times while staying in South Fork

I was not aware of all that Dolly has done to help the needy. A shame that those that could help don't. Country singer Dolly Parton wrote the songs "I Will Always Love You" and "Jolene" on the same night. When the first song was at the top of the charts in 1974, Elvis wanted to record his own...

You can tell if it is a Mag. or 22LR cylinder a few ways. If it has the firing pin grove and the chambers are bored all the way it is a LR. Or you can shoot it with 22LR and if the cases crack it is a 22 Mag. :) :) :) Also the 22 Mag. will not fit in the 22LR cylinder.
