On July 18th, 2015, I realized that the Republican Party had left me behind. On this day, while seeking the Republican nomination for president, Donald Trump had the following to say about an Annapolis graduate who was shot down, captured and tortured as a POW by the communist North Vietnam regime:
“He's not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
This verbal diarrhea came out of the mouth of a man who used his father’s wealth and privilege to dodge the draft five different times due to his “bone spurs”. Donald Trump is a traitor, a repeated draft dodger and the largest fraud in the history of our country.

So the story of this piece, roughly, is that the B-26 was being attacked by Japanese fighters and dove for the deck trying to shake them and ended up buzzing the flight deck of an IJN Carrier! Lol I bet that was one hell of a ride!

Turnin' and Burnin'
This image shows Blue Angels 1-4 initiating a hard turn low to the “deck” at the 2022 Aviation Roundup in Minden Nevada, USA. The Boeing F/A-18E “Super Hornet” is an impressive military airplane and with those two big General Electric turbofans throttled up the rumble of a maneuver like this will shake you to the core.

I spy- a spicy green bean lurking in the hangar 👀👀
A whole sky lime
The plane museum's Tomcat got a fresh coat of primer. Now to spend the next 2 - 3 weeks lightly hand sanding any nicks and rough spots. Making sure the primer cured properly. They say this is not Zinc Chromate, something else, apparently it's hard to get now. :o
