Skyblazers bump for the Foxhole

Here again Wings/Airpower had an article on the Skyblazers maybe a year or so ago pretty cool. I will have to look and see if I still have the article.

Regards

Hah! Very satisfying read this morning, snippy! I particularly like reading about it when the Americans did this sort of thing.....Colonel Morgan's men picked off every officer in General Burgoyne's advance guard.! Good morning to everyone in the FReeper Foxhole!

Thank you for your kind words this morning xJones. We've been here so long and by putting up daily threads we've covered once and sometimes twice all well known battles, but we can always find another interpretation or a view from another writer to share with our readers.

It's also forced us to look deeper for individual small battles or individual personal stories to bring to the Foxhole. So many men along the way have made a difference no matter how small the role they played or how obscure the historic record may be of their part in our military history.

Morning EGC. I finally loaded my windows updates.

LOL. Love your tagline today tax-chick.

Jinxy, do you live in a fort? ;-)

Thanks for the personalized Foxholer flag-o-gram PE.

Nice pic of that Sabre!

I don't see Aeronaut this morning but I think I heard him flyover my place this morning. Someone buzzed by before 6 a.m.

Good morning Mayor.

Hi WaterDragon. I'm still plugging away at the book you lent me. We've been so busy I don't have as much time as I like. I'm just finished the defeat and confusion at Long Island.

Your hand-written side note in the book; The defeated Americans, un-defeated. Good observation.

100 pages down, about 400 to go. :-)

Good morning to our wandering soul. ;-)

1969 Apollo 11, carrying 1st men to land on the Moon, launched

S69-39962 (16 JULY 1969) --- The huge, 363-foot tall Apollo 11 Spacecraft 107/Lunar Module 5/Saturn 506) space vehicle is launched from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), at 9:32 a.m. (EDT), July 16, 1969. Aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., lunar module pilot. Apollo 11 is the United States' first lunar landing mission. This view of the liftoff was taken by a camera mounted on the mobile launch tower. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descend in the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Collins will remain with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar-orbit.

Morning Mayor. I tend to be an offensive driver - get them before they get me. :-)

Morning Feather.

The fun part is running power and a photo-electric switch so you can keep the light on it all night

That's the part I dread, No easy way for me to do that.

Morning alfa6.

The old days when jets still had guns and not AA missiles.
