One problem Mubbers...I launched aircraft. You know F-14, F-18, A-6, Ea-6b's, Cods...you know what I mean. It was a dream come true. I have alot of memories...
Thank You. I had a blast! Lots of memories and one big scar on my hiny
We were placing slot seals in on the cat track and a plane captain turned an F-14 on us. We (about 4 of us) got blown down to the deck and we slid across the non skid, I ended up flying off the flight deck and landed in the starboard side catwalk. Came within about 3 feet from going overboard, I have a really nasty scar on my a$$ because when I slid I was on my but and the non skid ripped through my pants and...well it hurt! I won't go into what they had to do to me in order to get the non skid out of hiny
Funky I'm feeling bad for you; getting anti skid engraved on your @ss probably was a rather painful experience. All that sliding and getting blownto places sounds scary.
Ha - can't take pictures outside without a multitude of paperwork!!
Basically the camera is classed as a fire-hazard and the flash can set off gas and fire detectors. I'm workng on getting it set up for my next trip offshore!!
I built a bike one time out of spare parts lying around in my parents back yard when i was like 15. Made a mountain bike. It was chrome and was freaking sweet when I was done. It was my greatest acomplishment (besides putting dual carbs on a 3.5 hp lawn mower motor and gutting out the combustion chamber with a hammer and chizel and mowing down 5 foot tall grass. It spit fire out the exuast hehe) Well i washed up all the grease from building it and after showing my freinds and family I went to take it for a test ride. The local skate boarders had just set up a ramp outside my house and this was a perfect durability test. Rode off in the distance for about half a football feild and rode myy ass off and hit the jump. Well i guess I hadnt tightened up the front wheel enough because in mid air it came off and flew off the bike. I screamed as the front forks hit the ground,bent and catapulted me off the front of the bike. I hit the ground arms forward saving my face from too much injury but I had friction scabs 1 inch thick the ENTIRE leangh of my arm for a month.... Does that come close to getting launched down a runway?
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
