Can't stand the hours and hours of hype before the game starts so I always get out and go somewhere. Happen to be in Palm Springs. Palm Springs Air Museum. Sorry for the poor quality of photos, off my Iphone.

Nice entry figure.

Good looking restoration and another nice tribute to the T/A

A ways to go yet, I threw a few bucks in the pot. (no golf for me that day lol)


A little different quiz for you guys. For those of you who haven't been there, what bomber bomb bays are these two above.





Some 'Flaps' and 'Folds' ... SBD, F6F, F4F, TBM, F6F
... More to come if interested ...

IMHO, half time super bowls suck. I think Madonna had something planned but chickened out the last minute. Probably some nude stunt.

I think super bowl half time would be better spent if they got some vets together and have them on stage to honor them. That would be worth more then some boobs or fingers from so called 'stars'. Just my .02$
Sorry off topic back to the cool photos.

fotobass,
Don't fret the spelling. To become an A&P mechanic you have to be able to read and comprehend @ a Graduate Student level. And I can't tell you how many times in 40+ years I've climbed into a difficult, usually smelly place to verify that indeed the mechanic has replaced the CRAKED RIVITS or fixed the GAPED FASTNERS or check to see if those SHAYNK ED RIVUTS has bin fix ed.
I've determined that there at least three distinct types of driven, or mechanically finished fasteners in aviation, there are RIVETS, in common use all over, then there are RIVITS generally used in the South, and in the Midwest the mechanics choice is usually a RIVUT.

Boy, you said it Nathan. Madonna was LAME. Your idea of honoring veterans is a great one.

Thanks for the additional photos. Very nice indeed. I wish a certain museum in Dayton was as well lit as the PSAM is!
