Looks like I’ll get to take the boys to watch these thunderous jets again. I love it.

My moms cousin was their flight leader in plane #1 about 15 years ago

What kind (style) of butt welding clamps are you using. Backside of clamp image would be good.

I've got a couple of projects to do that a clamp like that would be handy with.
And enuf of a truck and car project, I may also be able to justify a reasonable priced Tig welder to assist the clamps.

Have any of the folks here had any experience with the offerings from AHPwelds.
I'm thinking the pre-set but tunable option that the 203XI offers may be a option for what I need to do.

These ones from Harbor Freight. Eastwood’s used to sell them for stupid money. They work awesome.

Covid killed the every even year airshow schedule in 2020 and I am not sure if it was back in 2022 or not

Maybe this year

I enjoy it as well

They still have the airshow every year here at Selfridge. At our old house the runway was literally in my backyard. Lots of A-10s in and out. On airshow weekends we’d have a pool party.

Wedding party for my stepdaughter and her husband. They got married September last year and just went to the Magistrate so never had a party.

Best way to go. Spend all the money on a house instead

The airshow here is on Elmendorf Air Force Base and I am not really sure why it is only every other year, but it has always been that way

I love me some Warthogs

We don't have any up here but there are lots of F-15s and F-22 Raptors, and Eilson AFB in Fairbanks has F35s as well as F16s

My wife did a TDY at Luke AFB in Phoenix years ago and I would drive over to the flight line and watch the A-10s going through their paces

My son works for the Air National Guard and sent me pics a few months ago of some B-52s that were coming through

I blew his mind by telling him that there was every possibility that his grandfather had worked on those very same B-52s when he was in the service since none have been built since the early 60s and he retired in 67

Whatever SAC base he was stationed at for his last years in service he was the chief of flightline maintenance so was in and out of every B-52 on the line

Let me know if you find any.

If I did, I would keep them for myself. Was never good at sharing. Lol

I have never seen a single heat and eat BBQ item that was fit for human consumption

Jason used to talk about military planes a lot.
He got quite upset when I suggested all he did was vacuum clean them, but more upset when Dallas suggested the sucking came from Jason's mouth.

I've got cheaper meat in layaway!

I've got cheaper meat in layaway!

The commissary has a big freezer in the meat section with marked down meat that was getting close to the sell by

I have always called that "the used meat section" and have inadvertently said that around people and I have gotten some weird looks

Looks delicious

Beagle's will eat catshit

Evening guys. We wrapped the moving sale early before the rain came, then brought the electronics to the recording studio I finished putting acoustic panels in last night. She should be good to go. Then celebrated with Cubans in the panini press.

Warthogs are cool ass planes. They used to do the air show here at the 911th Airforce Base almost annually but they haven't done it since 2018. I did go to the US Airforce Museum in Dayton, Ohio last year. It was pretty cool. Heres an F22 Raptor, a Warthog and an XB-70 Valkyrie with SR-71 in the foreground.

Well, about 30 miles from me is gonna be a HUGE International training facility!
F22, F35, F16's ect...
CANT WAIT!

Living up in Ozark National Forest, they LOVE IT for training!
Supposed to bring $1B dollars a year in the local economy so I'll keep my pie hole shut till I start seeing that income.
Then it's straight back to Hookers & Coke Baby!
