That would cause global cooling! You humans go from one extreme to the next.
After this winter Im not entirely convinced Al Gore should be a credible source to explain our environmental issues. I would consider myself a liberal but I don't buy into this carbon footprint, greenhouse gas, end of the earth crapola.
Its just amazing what you can do with some photo editing software and an agenda![]()
Hmm. The weatherman can barely get the daily forecast correct. What makes anyone think Al Gore can figure out something 100,000 times more complex.
So you are saying I am a holier than thou tree hugger?? You can call me a lot of things, but I am not a tree hugger!
My point was, a mod should not be stirring the pot and dividing the membership. Perhaps some won't see what he did as an example of that, but it seemed obvious to me.
I wasn't stirring anything up. People need to seriously relax around here.
Dividing up the membership? Are you honestly being serious? Because if so, that's quite a stretch. If a little comment like that can "divide the membership", then the membership had too fragile a relationship to begin with.
Relax people.
SeatClutcher hates me and Ian has to do whatever she says so I feel divided from him too.
Gasp! Now I feel divided from you because 1. No she doesn't and 2. Yeah, right!
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but maybe you can think of this as a challenge: you just haven't been that offensive.I was fishing for SC snark...I am kind of addicted to it after all these years and haven't had any directed at me in a while.

Somebody please make the hypocritical, liberal, idiot tree huggers go away.
Could have been any number of aircraft. Wiki says he currently owns the following:
Ford owns various aircraft:
de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver (N28S)
Aviat A-1B Husky (N6HY)
Cessna 525B CitationJet 3 (N5GU)
Beechcraft B36TC Bonanza
Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
1929-vintage Waco Taperwing
Bell 407
Cessna Citation Sovereign
I must admit, bro has incredibly good taste in aircraft.
Please, that has been photoshoped, they don't smoke that bad. Even if they did they are the sounds and sights of FREEDOM.

They actually do smoke that bad. Keep in mind too though, that these models taking off are G-model B-52s, with the water injected J-57 turbojets. When the water is activated, they indeed smoke as much as seen (KC-135A models used to also, as well as earlier model B-52s such as the D, E and F). The current H-model B-52s have TF-33 turbofans which don't smoke nearly as much. The G-models were retired in about 1994-ish just after Desert Storm, so any BUFFs you may have seen taking off/landing after that were the fan-equipped H models.
And I fully agree........it's a sound to behold when the water takes effect.
I'll agree they smoked a lot, especially the the older ones with the J-57, but that photo has been darkened. I spent a lot of years watching them fly in and out of Fairchild before the AF moved them to Barksdale it was never that dark.
Mike you still in bama? Has this thread been sufficiently hijacked yet![]()
