Luin and I have had a tour of a functional B17. Nice bomber.
Far more roomy and comfortable then the Lancaster we've been through. You can really see where the money goes into the B17, costing over twice as much to build then the Lancaster, they are built like flying tanks in comparison.

I just might join oyu in this elder. I love flight combat sims, especially war era. I remember playing the old DOS game Aces of the Pacific far before any other flight sim.

Finally got around to calling Jim Walton and dropping it off.

He's a cool fucking cat.

I don't know if anyone other than Kase and surf are into climbing but I just got this linked to me and I think it's pretty sweet.

This is probably really old, but I just started watch BBC's "The Blue Planet" series and I think it's fascinating.

The whole thing is available on Netflix if anyone is curious.

Watching that on a bigscreen in HD is pretty amazing.

He took a month, but he was great. He was like an archaeologist wrapped inside a historian wrapped inside an electrical engineer.

Totally nice, totally authentic, totally trustworthy.

Amp sounds so grand, I will def post some audio for you and koala.

many thanks!

For a vintage amp, that's really not an awful bill.
