Yep. A lot of the Nazi 'Advancements" came upon the backs of the conquered nations of Europe. The slave labor pool for the German industrial machine was enormous.

He must have sent it cuz it's not here anymore!

It must have been by "snail mail" cuz it hasn't gotten here yet. We had some of that "s-word" falling from the skies today. brrrrrrr! At least it wasn't much and the ground's too warm for anything to stick.

@$)&*^@&*@ Post Office probably screwed it up again!

[snippy_about_it]

The sun was out the day I arrived (of course) LOL! SAM says this is Oregon in winter, rain but mild temps. I'm enjoying it though, beats weather in Ohio any day.

Matthew Paul, passenger Matthew Paul:
Please meet your flying wing at Hanger 51. Thank you.

Northrop N9MB Flying Wing with 60ft. wingspan. It was built in 1944 as a 1/3 scale model of the B35/YB49 Flying Wing Bomber. It was restored in the 1980's by a group of volunteers, including two of the original Northrop crew who worked on the Flying Wing.

I gather Ohio got it worse than we did, judging by the radar, but it's been nasty enough down here. Chilly, wet, gloomy. Definitely NOT my kind of weather. And it's just getting started. 8-/
I think we're supposed to see the sun sometime tomorrow...we'll see if the Post Offfice gets it here or not. LOL!

[snippy_about_it]

In that case I'm really glad I'm not home! I know I'm not looking forward to winter this year, I never do. :(

[SAMWolf]

Like the Pike's Peak Photo.

Northrop YB-49 (remember this in "War of the Worlds"?)

[SAMWolf]

If Snippy misses the snow, we can drive up to Mount Hood. Lots and Lots of snow up there.

[snippy_about_it]

snippy doesn't miss the snow. :)

[SAMWolf]

:-) Neither do I.

[WaterDragon]

All day I've been coming back to this thread to choose another photo for my wallpaper, and just now remembered I never posted a thank you!

So, thanks for a great treat today, SAMWolf!

[SAMWolf]

Hi WaterDragon.

Snippy did all the work the thread I just posted. You should get some good wallpapers on tomorrow's thread. :-)
