The 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms.' If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. -Ken Konecki, July 27, 1992
John Galt was here.

Oh, great! Wished I'd have known that.........it was just on t.v. this morning.
When I was a kid, my parents bought me Chuck Yaeger's Air Combat for the PC. I think it was a 386, maybe a 486 computer I played it on. I played hours and hours of that game. I also saw Chuck on TV alot on Discovery channel, before there was a Military channel. I loved the whole "Wings" series of documentaries.

Many don't know that he was a POW in WWII - escaped, and his escapade was recorded in some war movie. Made BG, as some heroes do, but was too independent (as most heroes are) to get the second star.

As far as I know, he wasn't a POW. He did avoid capture with the help of the French Underground. Spent almost a month behind enemy lines and trekked across the Pyrenees with a Lieutenant, who was a navigator on a B-24 that was shot down over France. During this time, they were ambushed by a German patrol and the Lieutenant was injured in the leg. Chuck Yeager needed to cut the lower leg off with a pen knife and had to literally drag them both into Spain.

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
I also read his book as a kid and had his flight sim. I got the SR-71 going so fast that it ripped its wings off. The last image was of Gen Yeager giving me the thumbs up and saying that I did what any good test pilot would have done...once.

Right, thus the "Winged Boot" badge for walking out. There are many excellent books on US WWII Pilots that would make great movies, truth is stranger than fiction.

Bob Hoovers autobiography is also a good read. He was a POW and escaped and stole a German Focke Wulf 190 and flew it back to a friendly field. It did get a little sticky trying to land at an Allied field though.
He was also a test pilot with Yeager and was backup on the X-1 project.

Yep. "Forever Flying" is a good real. Read Bindiner's "Fall of Fortress's"?

"Spam in a can" referred to Astronauts who were passengers in the space ship. Just heard him.a couple of months ago still pissed that they replaced monkeys with "spacemen".
He was born in the next county over from me in Myra WV.
