The c130 was a one time thing . A what if let's try. Why not? Ok never again. But it can be done in emergency. C17 no way no how. In emergency everybody better jump

There are no engines in the C17. Also, what's all that crap on the jet intakes?

So fake,huh?

That's my guess. Some planes have long enough wingspans that they would hit the island, if they tried to land on a carrier.

The deep-set engines are common to the C-17. The crap on the intakes is an artifact of the image being copy and pasted too many times.

What got me was the dust coming off the flight deck. If a carrier ever got that dirty the commanding officer would be busted down to seaman and forced to swab the entire carrier by himself.

Here is the image used to create the fake carrier landing of a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. The C-17 was demonstrating operation from a dry lake bed in California.

Here in northeast Ohio we are fortunate to have WKHR at 91.5 on our FM dial. They play Big Band and Show tunes. They are also available on your computer.

We also have an excellent classical music station but they changed the location of their transmitter and I can't receive them any more.

I love The Stars and Stripes Forever. It is John Phillips Souza showing off, pulling out all the stops and celebrating his beloved republic.

BTW, Souza wrote a comic opera about Teddy Roosevelt's daughter running the White House.

John,
Please excuse a small correction from a long time band person, it's Sousa.

The second from the bottom, I am going to announce to my wife as my new, intended policy, as of today, for myself. She will be surprised and greatly relieved. You have helped me finally get the hint from the expressions on her face during TV dramas. (She likes Lucifer , Preacher , and NCIS , esp. WE like Ray Donovan.)

Christopher Columbus was lost and stumbled onto an island he thought was India, maybe some of us do need directions occasionally.

Every time I get directions from my wife when driving, I try to locate the nearest tree to hit. It saves time and aggravation.

I can relate to that. When my wife and I decided to vacation in Calgary one summer, we took in the Mormon Temple and Yellowstone park on the way. Leaving Yellowstone after lunch I expected to make Lefthbridge by 7 or 8 PM and stay overnight. My wife took the map and pretended she was the navigator. We stayed the night in Idaho Falls instead.

Remember when Sweden changed from driving on the left side to the right side?
