Actually, I did get more than two hours of sleep one night. It was March 12, 1986--I think. Gratuitous disclaimer: Mister Chairman, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a somnambuli...zzzzzz.

From that, Bill, I can only assume that condition is your state of nature.

Negative imbibement--merely an example of some of the eight warning signs of fatigue and sleep deprivation, i.e., * erratic, impulsive or depressive behavior * preoccupation with trivia * diminished memory * carelessness or preoccupation * diminished memory * preoccupation with trivia * diminished memory and ummm--I forget...

Awright, I may be a little slow, socially, but it did finally dawn on me; have some of y'all been drinking, too? hic

May not be germane to the question of what's wrong with the picture, but why the Me-163 landing skid tucked up aft of the tow bar? Jim N - PPT came out great, but the phone connection from the sandbox sounded like gravel in a blender. "Catastrophic" is a mild adjective for satphones made "over there"...

Should also have mentioned I'm multitasking (Ooooh. Aaaah.). Working split-screen on a report and got a PPT--with sound--cooking on the laptop...

All caught up on your honeydew list, eh? Oh--you were referring to me. I'm just hanging out waiting for one of my FOB Speicher buds to answer an RFI I launched this morning. Ain't easy trying to figger safety issues guy "A" tracked for a Panama deployment while guy "B" was on a Boz deployment when guy "A" is now in Iraq and guy "B" is now locked out of the secure site because our server ("Kursk") is being persnickety and guy "C" in Salinas is waiting for info on Panama safety issues that guy "A" was tracking ad infinitum, ad infinitum...

BillT: "Instapilot for the Lifeline, please, Meredith." (sound of telephone ringing, dramatically muffled, for a suspenseful six seconds) Meredith: "Dusty? Hi--it's Meredith. Oooooh--what are you wearing? Listen, Bill's currently won $5 and he's going for $10. The question is: 'Whose reply to the Swedish Air Force pic comes closest?' a. cw4billt b. BloodSpite c. JimA or d. Justthisguy And your answer is...?" Instapilot: "Actually, the answer is e.--John posted the wrong picture. It was supposed to show Gustavus Adolphus in the cockpit of a Nieuport 17." Gratuitous disclaimer: Mister Chairman, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the Flygvapnet.

Yeah, cw, that bothered me, too. What's up with folks who are afraid to put their own country's name on their *military* aircraft in their own fn language? My goodness, the Swedes used to be the terror of Europe, back in the day. Hey, please speak English on the radio, but have some honest self-esteem, guys!

(grumble server burps...)What's up with "Swedish Air Force"--shouldn't it read something like "Svenske Viggenfluggenoopderfjord, uff-da you betcha"...? =P

Didn't know they had an Airforce.....but I'd guess....the cats ass sticking out of the crew door? Wonder if it survived the flight...

The Swedes have evidently been watching too many "SportKa" commercials and the SAS has obviously received an increase in funding for advertising (has anyone made the SBS and the Royal Marines aware of this?). The glaring error in the photo is that the -130's pitot cover has not been attached... =P
