MSM, NO. LOL :)
I keep up with most news on FR or radio too. I can only take MSM so long and not a long time at that. ;)

You're welcome. All the services have a digital repository, featuring imagery of the troops and their weapon systems.

Upon further review, that appears to be an F/A-18. The vertical stabilizers are slanted, whereas the F-14's are fully vertical. Maybe it's the fisheye lens that's distorting the stabilizers, I don't know.

I have to look into more photo sites like the one you provided. Incredible to see those Military Photos.

Well, now that they are being retired, I should be able to get one at a discount, right?

Oh, GeeBee, what a beautiful post! Such a treat to log on and come here, not knowing what the day's thread topic is going to be. You never disappoint. Thank you, li'l sistah!

I wanted to share a very heartwarming video I received in email this morning. The song is the new single just released by this year's American Idol, Taylor Hicks.

A 14 year old boy put together a tribute to our troops, with the song "Do I Make You Proud". If you're on dialup, it takes a long time to download, being 4 1/2 minutes long, but I let it download this morning while I did other things.

Tribute to Our Troops: "Do I Make You Proud"

Good Morning Skooz
Great shot :)
LOL, Good idea. Maybe if you go to the old Grumman museum you can purchase one. If you do, make sure you fly over my house when you take your F-14 out for a cruise. :)

Good Morning Billie :)
Thanks! How are you today? I tried to get on the tribute video. It must be so busy with traffic right now, it's not loading. I look forward to viewing it later. :)
