No, I don't have any fireworks. We'll watch a fireworks show tomorrow night, but I don't have any to set off.
I bet you have some though! Right?

Our Military Today
It Isn't Over yet These pics bring tears of a different kind to my eyes. Definitely not happy ones.
Our fighting men and women are in my prayers daily for their safety.

There's still a few of them C-46's around ;-)
(Yes, I was holding the camera horizontally.)

John Deakin was the PIC of the
China Doll in the picture I posted (I think the statute of limitations has run out on that maneuver). He was a C-46 (Air America) pilot in Vietnam, and has recently retired from Japan Airlines with more hours in the left seat of a B-747 than any man alive or ever alive. He's a helluva nice guy, too!
Y'all might enjoy the article he wrote on his experiences flying the Commando, Pelican's Perch #47: The Old Commando which is filed at AvWeb.
To: snopercod
Thanks for the link snopercod.
I've never read much about the C-46, seems the C-47 always overshawdowed it.
