  1. Mine involved a trampoline. I caught a bad crosswind during final approach and broke my right mainwheel when I touched down.

  2. Well, since Marines didn’t fly the A7, this story doesn’t really involve pirates.

  3. We build with LEGO, but not very often and we don’t built anything meant to be where it is for an extended time. When we’re done, daughter is good about helping pack them away so she can move on to the next activity.

  4. @James Farris I can taxi, but I’ve become very fond of the ground and rarely am out of contact with it. Thank you for your concern. Be well, you and yours.

  6. @Gaetano Vindigni It’s a lllllooong damn haul from the English Channel to then-Soviet airspace.

  7. @William Filce The unit cost of first 500 was ~860K. In 1986, that translated to ~3.5M. Today, ~8 M. I think he misspoke “eight million” as “eighteen million.”

  8. Does anybody know, if I watch a THG episode more than once, does THG get credit for all the “ad watches” or just the first time I watch the episode?
