There were two squadrons of them on the Enterprise. Plus 2 squadrons of F4s, 1 of A6s, 2 RA5Cs, and a couple of A1s, plus choppers. All were a controlled crash-except the A1s. They just sorta floated in over the flight deck and gently set down. Didn't even need the 'hook'.

Good afternoon!
Passing by to let you know that your instrument is finished. Stop by the workshop to test it out


:)
I love getting this message on my cell phone.
Maybe till next weekend we´ll have photos of Thunderbird next to the new cousin Rumblekat (s/n tells was built on August, 2010, under production number: 875).
:cool: Almost bought one. Prolly shoulda.

They're really cool. There was a privately owned one based at Palm Beach International Airport. IDK if it's still there. Interesting fact about the A4: the nose wheel wasn't steerable, just castored. Steered with main wheel brakes.

interesting on the A4…. this dude was about 5’7 and 130lbs….like a modern day 7th grader …..later saw an A4 cockpit at a museum (think it may have been the museum of flight in Sea) and they are REALLY small….if they gave me a choice of what to fly in Nam it would have probably been the A1….

This* was on a street corner in Nowra (home of HMAS Albatross RAN base) It is the corner to turn left to take you to the villages on the north side of Jervis Bay. Dunno if it is still there or not, I read at some point there were people suggesting it was a safety hazard, if it fell off I guess.

a De Havilland Sea Venom evidently

Must be near time for a visit
 
I bought the MXR M87 new but could never get it dialed to a sound that worked for me - sold it and got this one used. Pretty basic but always on in my effects chain at the setting shown.

@BklynKen gifted me this Steel Leather.
It’s not a compressor at all, quite the opposite, but, I’ve found a setting where it acts like one. It’s a very cool little piece of kit, never thought I’d go down the pedal rabbit hole.
