  1. Looking at their historical data, the period from 1965 - 1982 had no significant droughts or floods. At least 17 years of relatively "normal" lake levels.
  2. Well... we landed at around the 20-hour point, then debriefed for a few hours, then since I was the junior officer in the squadron and it was 9/11, I had to run around base setting up a roll call for that evening that ran several more hours. No idea how long I slept after that.
  3. Seem reasonable to park our car at the Morgan Blvd metro station (Redskins website says its $15 for events at Fedex Field), walk to the game, then come back and ride the metro into town for some brief sight-seeing and food?
  4. I'm not sure that either of these teams deserve to be in the quarterfinals.
  5. Telling them that I had received a mailer for 12 months / $60 worked for me (I hadn't).
  6. Dynamic targeting of any kind. It doesn't have a targeting pod on it like the B-1, B-52, and F-15E, so it's really only good for flying a fully pre-planned mission. Add on that we only have 20 of them, and far fewer than that combat-ready at any given time, so they can't really fly sustained combat ops from a deployed location like a squadron of any other bombers would. They're pretty much only good for flying those long-duration missions from Missouri on night one, then they need a break. Not a flexible option at all in today's much more dynamic battlefield.
  7. Endochine / Alpha Rev Wideawake Monte Montgomery
  8. Lived there 2000-2001. Can confirm that weird motherfuckers lived there, and I was not one and didn't fit in, so I moved on with my life. Still get my hair cut at the barber shop downstairs occasionally, so I hope that institution lives on somehow.
  9. Yessir. 19.4 hours sitting in an ejection seat.
  10. Did 19.4 hours once, non-stop from Qatar to South Dakota. But it wasn't commercial and we refueled three times, so I'm not sure if that counts.
  11. I posted my '73 Vette occasionally on the other site. Decided not to sell it after all.
  12. 78746 Westlake, mine went down $2k
