SpouseBuzz and I believe Andi host her blog separately. And I thought Blackfive had the same server as some of the big political blogs, but they're all fine. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/hi_fires_23_jul.html#comment-62526 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/hi_fires_23_jul.html#comment-62526 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:35:19 -0600 Not if they all use the same server.

The idea was to build a nuclear-powered bomber that could go anywhere and drop anything. Interesting concept. The 1950's is one of my favorite eras, aircraft-wise, because of all the cool ideas and test beds they developed.

He was a pilot in the 4925th Nuclear Test Group at Kirtland AFB, which was exactly what the name says: an air unit tasked with testing nuclear weapons. That mission included live drops of nuclear bombs. So, Boyne was a pilot on bombers that dropped nuclear weapons. "Nuclear test pilot" is a really stupid way to say that, though. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/hi_fires_23_jul.html#comment-62507 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/hi_fires_23_jul.html#comment-62507 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 09:30:04 -0600
