planeflyer21 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Ha! When we were kids, my Dad was a pilot in the AF, helped my brother build one of those wire-controlled planes, a Corsair I believe.Went up to the local elementary school where Dad said "Let me show you how it's done." Nice lift off, good level lap and a half, then he nose-dived it SMACK into the only concrete within the circle, exploding it into a thousand pieces or more.The look of "Hunh," on my Dad's face as he then handed the toggle handle to my now dejected brother, who looked at the now worthless controller with limp wires hanging. Kids seemed to appear out of nowhere and were running pieces of the plane up to my brother.It was one of those little brother "That was AWESOME" moments.Jon
washguy Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Jon Thats a good one! <laughs> I would keep mumbling to myself when I was starting out flying the rc planes..."but im a pilot but im a pilot" an oldtimer overheard me....said " it aint got nuthin to do with it....get over it!" <lmao> Wash

Pappy1600 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 I love to fish!! use to hunt but getting soft with age, plus wife is a animal lover. I collect and consume Jack Daniels products. I have a love of cars, I own a 1968 Camaro and recently bought a 2010 Indy 500 pace car Camaro that was used at the track, take it to car shows, have a lot of fun doing that. I also ride a Harley, that is my mental health time. But my best hobby is my family!! Here are a few pics;By pappy1600 at 2007-08-22By pappy1600 at 2012-04-11By pappy1600 at 2012-08-03By pappy1600 at 2012-08-03By pappy1600 at 2012-08-03

98Z5V Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 Did I mention I love to fish!!!! <laughs> <lmao> You're "baiting" him... <thumbsup>That Pace Car Camaro reminded me - close friend bought the orange SS a couple years ago, did some minor mods to it. Damn badass car. When the ZL1 was announced, he removed all his accessories from the SS, planned to trade it in, and ordered the orange ZL1. He's had that car now for a little while - it's unreal. :oI'll try to get some pics from him. It's a damn beast.
Pappy1600 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 They are nice cars, I know my car is fast could not imagine how fast that ZL1 is.
BLKSHEEP Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 That's a badass car pappy <thumbsup> but I aint too sure about the crooked house <laughs>
