A Question for the Pilots of the Lounge
Well I didn't start any training in the last 15 years, but I can tell you this, it wasn't talked about 20+ years ago, so I highly doubt it is now. I wouldn't call it a dying skill, I'd call it a dead skill. Maybe it had a use when they were flying mail planes in the 1920's, following fires...- warbird

B-17 may be grounded
This was a problem at one time for aircraft and even old Harleys. It really isn't anymore. There are products available which can be added that are as good if not better than the lead ever was, Marvel Mystery Oil being one example, . And changes n valve seats and such make this is... -
Which Presidents Wore Hats>?
Oh they already were. Ben Franklin made the coonskin all the rage in France and it even was bought into by Americans who had never been to what they considered the frontier. By the way Franklin never wore a coonskin hat before going there, but they took immediately to his rustic sense of wit... -

Which Presidents Wore Hats>?
You know what I haven't made any comment on your comedy so far, but I have to say many of us on here are political, none more so than me. However I find it so easy to comment on this thread w/o being political that your statement blaming the person who started this thread is insulting. I wont... -

Which Presidents Wore Hats>?
And TR wore other fantastic hats throughout his lifetime. Most presidents we don't have pictures of spanning most of their lives, but TR is one with many pictures because of his many years in the public eye. He wore great hats from his time as a young man on. -
Show us your Guns!
IPSC Still uses some .38 super and bullseye used to be very popular with the .38 super. The .38 special for semi-autos was always a nearly non-existent load for bullseye. Very few companies even offered it, but the Colt .38 Super was very popular. For whatever reason I found a large bag of .38...- warbird

Which Presidents Wore Hats>?
Johnson, with his classic Open Road Stetson was one of the most famous of all hat wearing presidents. There are hundreds, probably thousands of photos of Johnson in hats. Perhaps you meant Johnson was the last of the regular hat wearers, I'm not sure, but certainly Johnson was. Reagan was... -
A great visit with MajorMoore- Update: PICS ADDED
Mike has some great antique hat making tools. He showed me how they were used. Really he went through the whole process with me. It was fascinating. -
A great visit with MajorMoore- Update: PICS ADDED
Had a chance to stop by this past week and visit with Mike Moore, FL member MajorMoore at his house and shop. He has a great set-up and some beautiful hats hanging around. I have hung around with a lot of cowboy shooters and know a good looking cowboy hat when I see one. He makes some of the... -

While that is a nice collection and Charlton Heston indeed had a wonderful collection himself, that is not Heston's collection I can assure you. That collection in the pic was recently auctioned off. By the way, I also like the Shrike Commander.- warbird

Dunhill Shell Briar
Many of my pipes were handed down to me, but my first bought pipe was from 310. It is my regular hangout as it was when Dawson was still alive. At one time he was the largest Dunhill dealer in the western hemisphere. My wife now gets to hang out there more than I do as her office is just down...- warbird

Pipes
Missouri Meershaum is a fancy term for a corn cob pipe. But, typically they were good pipes. I would think it more of a fun piece to have in the collection, than a smoker. I have quite a few of them. The old ones do not smoke well., but they have such interesting character. As diamondback...- warbird

What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?
MacArthur was a fan of Dunhill I believe. This would have meant he probably didn't like much if any aromatics and he probably liked latakia somewhat. Pick up maybe some Nightcap or a nice Frog Morton On the Bayou would do nicely as well.- warbird

What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?
Actually they are rarely read to at all anymore. Sometimes for show for the public. The radio has taken the place of the reader. And the rollers have traditionally been men. Until recently women had the jobs of sorting and field work. Some were involved with the bands and boxing as well...- warbird

Country Music Legend Eddy Arnold Dies At 89
He was a class act. Anyone who knew him loved him. Everyone who ever knew him in this town loved him. Just like with Cash, most everyone thought Eddie would go soon after his wife.- warbird

"In Uniform"
Yeah the M-16 AR-15 really sucked. They continue to suck after all these years. They suck so much they're ten times better at sucking than they were back then even. They suck so much even that there are dozens and dozen of manufacturers making that sucky weapon. :rolleyes: When was the...- warbird

I had the honor of meeting him when I lived in Virginia and attended a silver star ceremony. A man of guts and honor, a true hero. The FL's own RBH is his nephew I believe.- warbird
