  1. Not sure what happened. I was asking why you stated we don’t get along with the Czechs.
  2. I hope this isn’t too much of a digression, but why do we have bad relations with the Czechs?
  3. Except now we’re talking about dead Ukrainian babies, which should beg the question, “Can Russia win?”
  4. Any of y’all ever seen a sports hearse before?
  5. Tossing this out there to any of my Surl brethren who have adequate French skills to search the internets. One of the major articles I wanted to see at the French Air and Space Museum was the original Spad XIII of Georges Guynemer named «Vieux Charles ». It was not there when I visited, yet pics of it in the same museum abound. I have scoured the English internet and can’t find anything about where it went? Can one of you take up the French quest? Merci beaucoup.
  6. Two Concordes Some strange twin You want to fly in the cone of a ramjet? Not one but two variations on that theme. No idea how the pilot got in and out of those. First French jet
  7. Even more fun ate the planes from what I call the “Hall of Nope” or “It was a great idea, it just didn’t work” or “French Engineering: Nobody copies the French and the French don’t copy nobody.” Wingtip jets? We got em. VTOL bomber? Check Weird cockpit over giant engine? Sure! There’s a couple more doozies but those will have to wait until later.
  8. So grownups playing on a toddler field?
  9. Or firing it at all. I didn’t see a belt loaded.
  10. Being a French museum they of course had cool art everywhere in addition to actual aircraft. This Yak-3 is an actual combat vet. Restored on port side, original starboard. Rare Dewoitine 520. Original Fw 190
  11. This one is pretty special. It’s a real Deperdussin racer. Everything around it looks like powered kites because that’s what was contemporary. But this is one of those true “form follows function” moments. It a pretty airplane. The building itself is an art deco gem. The former Le Bourget terminal. A zeppelin gondola. I love the folk art of aviation.
  12. Some cool stuff I saw recently: Took Chad Jr. to go see the French Air and Space Museum. Mrs. F made the right call to go see Versailles with relatives.
  13. Could cross post in the cool pics thread but seems particularly relevant lately:
  14. Also, for those who don’t know me, my name is Chad and I have a real problem shopping for guitars.
  15. So go to reverb right now and look up the Trini Lopez reissues and then look at the Dave Grohl artist models. They are the same friggin guitar, but one is 2-3 times more than the other solely because of the name. Crazy.
  16. Lonestar. I love playing it at home, but when I've played it out I haven't been able to really bond with it. I feel like it doesn't keep up with my buddy's Twin. That said, it may be too much amp for me. I haven't really had time to go through the manual to really understand all its glorious bells and whistles. I've since bought an old Vibrolux and that kind of hits that 1x12 sweet spot for me. It's a simpler machine, like its operator. I'm pondering parting with it, so if you know anyone who may want it, I'm willing to make a deal. It's in great shape.
