excellent vid in an earlier post it was commented on arrestor hooks on aircraft if you look just as they begin their take off you can see the arrestor cable stung out with what looks like hockey pucks holding it up

Really great stuff, Gnomey! Did they carve those tunnels by hand? The walls look like they used crude tools to make them.

Wildcat · 08-24-2006, 07:11 PM

Excellent! Someone needs to give that Spit a dust off!

pbfoot · 08-24-2006, 07:20 PM

Excellent work

yeah very impressive, how cold was it down there?

Gnomey · 08-25-2006, 06:32 AM

The tunnels were generally done by hand and were not that cold inside, they were humid though.
