Apollo 8 crewman Bill Anders was lost yesterday when his T-34 crashed in Washington State. Bill was known for many things, but his photo "Earthrise" is the most lasting. https://www.artnet.com/artists/nasa-and-william-anders/lever-de-terre-earthrise-apollo-8-24-d%C3%A9cembre-goiGHVsGSQ5ZTkuKgm52rw2

The only way you would know which aircraft it came from, would be if it was stenciled with an a/c number, had a serviceable or unserviceable tag, or you had the original factory installation records. I've got a B-47 seat in my collection of stuff, and know what a/c it originally came from, as...

With what you have, there is no way to determine a specific aircraft that it came from. The best you could do is determine which builder it came from, and maybe the production block. The 157 stamp is most likely a heat treatment inspection stamp. 2220604 would be a part number stamp. A quick run...

Gilles: Very few a/c that were at D-Day would have used that series engine. Certain C-45's, UC-70's, UC-81's, AT-19's and UC-43's. By far the majority of the AN-3 series engines were used in various trainer aircraft that never got close to the front. The data plate give you the exact...

Viking: That's a tough one to take. Will keep everyone in our thoughts and hopes.

Enjoy moving to the south. Hopefully, it won't take you long to assimilate in all ways....

If you are on a diuretic, you need to watch your potassium levels as well.

Don't think the IDMS ever proved out and made it past the lab research stage. One can only do so much when there are humans in the loop....In this case, night ops crew partially prepped the jet and days took over without any direct handoff it appears. No one did a red gear check prior to...

Depends on which covers were installed at the time. There are inlet plugs like shown and there are exterior covers that are pinned to the structure and do not go within the inlet. The front face of the engine can not be see while standing on the ground or carrier deck. You have to actually enter...

Looks like another trip to the hardware store, but will be tomorrow. Too tired to make the 16 mile run over there this afternoon. Hate looking up stuff and the store shows it in stock and then when you get there, it's not.

Trying to get the new washer and dryer installed, but nothing fits like it should. Headed to the hardware store for the 3rd time in two days trying to make this work.

20 year old washing machine decided to cease to function via self immolation.....Wife got it shut off and flames out pretty quick, but had to ventilate the house for a while to get rid of the smoke and stink. New laundry pair on order and supposed to be delivered tomorrow.

Just look at an F-4....perfect example that with enough thrust anything will fly

Was done due to the cost to decontaminate the fuselages. Lots of DU used in various components.
