Wow, that's an amazing photo.

You know, I was amazed to hear that a recent poll of high school students revealed that over half of them believe that WWII was fought by the Americans and Germans against the Soviet Union. That's so sad.




Pyle,Great photo Man.

Those are tomcats right.A shame Grumman here on Long Island closed.

My best friends grandmother was a WASP.She would deliver brand new Hellcats,etc to the west coast get back on a train and return here to LI.She was one of the few,and very proud of her service to our country.

One day I visited her years ago with my bud and she said would you like to see my plane.I was young and was like yeaaa.We went to Gebreski airport and thier was her cesna 152.At that time she was 72 years old and still had an active flying licence.I do regret not really sitting down with her and asking her questions about her experiences fly those awsome planes.History lost for ever my fault..the stories she could have told could have been passed on but now are lost..im an idiot..they say if history is not written or recorded it never happened kinda holds true.

Then again after reading Ms steels post about highschool kids..thats pathetic..so much for all the bucks we spend on education these days.There more interested in Brittany Spears,and who has the more stylish cell phone these days.Leave no kid behind thats a laugh.
