Agree, if it flies, swims, walks, crawls or slithers down there, it A) takes an immediate dislike to you and B) it bites. Walked into the hanger one morning @ Lake Front and I see one of the linemen in the far corner doing a mighty series of overhands with a coal shovel 'Surtan, whatchew doin'?' matter of fact reply, "killing a Coral Snake" :shock: 'when you're done let me know, I'll be out standing on the roof of the car' :lol:

Nah - they got enough of 'em already. I'm hoping this one slipped through the cracks into civilian ownership and could theoretically be made to fly again someday...

You non-southerners are so funny. Everyone knows Coral Snakes don't bite -- they chew.

Smoke signals? Or two tin cans with a string?

Phone should work...as long as you're not afraid of heights.

Sorry Cliff...it's "B-R 5-4-9
And as a matter of fact, I wouldn't swear that it wasn't Junior Samples we saw walking into the shed.
HEE-HAW

Darn, I knew it was wrong, but could not remember the right one.

"Geetyet?"

"What's fer dinner Granpaw?"


I sure dislike seeing that F-84 deteriorating. I have become fond of the Sled after spending so much time on our's, but Texas is too far away from where that one is located.

El Paso is to far away from anything even in Texas. 533 miles to the house and 890 miles to Lousyanna.

My house is closer to San Diego than Houston. Santa Fe is closer than Austin. But I am still in Texas by a little bit!

Mudge please please help with the location on this one. The location of this one has been a mystery for quite a while now...
ImageAerial Visuals - Location Dossier - Blacksville, West Virginia, United States - F-84

You have seen it in person. I assume you can tell me where it is. Can you use the map via the link above to get the coordinates? Pan it, zoom in, right click on the location to get the lat and lon.

Thanks in advance!

Mike
