Good evening . . .

Noobie here . . . I'm "registered" on a few other forums/websites, but only one or two of them hold my interest for very long. I believe this will be one of them.

My hobbies are just about anything military, but especially aircraft modeling, flight sims, and building/repairing PC's.

Favorite aircraft: any German WWII fighter (but especially the Me-262), and the P-38 (the only Allied aircraft I like).

Favorite tank: any of the German WWII "heavies", even that huge paperweight, the Maus.

Favorite TV channel: the Military Channel (duh!).

That's about it; I don't pretend to know everything about anything, but I might act like it. I'll try not to be too pretentious!

North central . . . as in Central Valley; a few miles southwest of Modesto, if you know where that is.

Sweet! Downtown hasn't changed much, but they're building houses everywhere else. What part of Mo-town did you live in?

Thank you all for the welcome . . .

I am particularly impressed with the fact that the membership of this forum is truly international; I am a "member" in a couple of other forums (as mentioned above), but they seem to be very parochial (i.e.: mostly Americans). I like the fact that we have members from many different countries expressing many different viewpoints; makes for a lively discussion . . .

I myself am primarily Norwegian, but was born & raised in the US.

Go, Nordland!

Garrison Elementary is still there, but you're right, it's all homes now . . . also, a few blocks away (up Orangeburg, if you remember that street) are a bunch of retail stores now, including a Sonic Burger.
