  1. One of the Blackbird videos on Youtube (can't find it right now) has an interview with one of the pilots who flew the before/after recon. missions over Libya.

    On the "after" flight, they had to fly over much faster than usual, due to the heavy AA fire from the PO'd Libyan Air Defenses. They were not sure if the pictures even came out due to the speed they had to fly to stay alive, but all the pictures came out perfect! :up:

     

    Dang it, coulda been flying that fast all along! :D

    My Father-in-law had been a Crew Chief on the SR-71 at one point.

     

    He was my Squadron Commander later (he was a Commissioned Major in line for Lt. Col.), when I met his 18yo daughter.

     

    Happily married 23 years and still going!

  2. I kind of know how you feel, I think. Purpose and what to focus on.

     

    What to do with the rest of your life? It's definately not the end.

     

    I'm feeling this at 45. We raised kids, I had a successful business, and now the wife has a job that she excels at and loves that pays the bills.

     

    Lots of time on my hands.

     

    Strange times.

    I'm sitting outside right now (suffering my vices) in front of my propane heater. It's 25 degrees one hour north of Seattle. Brrrr!!!!!

     

    We don't usually get much snow on our island. Darn ocean!

     

    We live between two mountain ranges making the weather special.
