Doh!

B-52 mistakenly flies with nukes aboard

Can you say "career limiting maneuver"?


Update: Doh! x 70!

Some blithering idiots claim that the move of the nukes was a a signal to Iran. Some tinfoil aficionados have gone so far as to theorize that the discrepancy in the number of weapons reportedly moved--5 versus 6--was an inadvertent slip of what was to be a false flag op in which the missing nuke was supposed to be detonated by "terrorists," but it's really Booooosh!!!11!eleventy1one1! I am so losing patience with the Bush haters, conspiracy nuts, anti-war types and the whacked out Left.

Check Thumbs Up Light - Illuminated

Three-quarters of the clan made an impromptu visit to the St. Louis County Fair & Air Show (while Meg played nature girl with her friend for three days of camping). It was a clear, cloudless Sunday afternoon, maybe twenty degrees too warm, so it was a relatively brief trip. Still we stayed long enough to sample fair delicacies like meat-on-a-stick and catch a few planes making the sound of freedom. Bryan came prepared.



The F-15, being a home-grown bird in these parts, led the show. I really need to get a telephoto lense to do the subject justice, but I thought Lisa's effort in capturing the Red Baron Pizza PT-17s was quite artful.



We made it a point to check out the statics as we headed out. No B-52s, but Bryan got to see what daddy learned basic airmanship in, namely the T-37 "Tweet." The recruiters had a mini F-16 for the kids to play on. Bry signaled he was good to go.



On the way home, Bryan made known his intention to become a "Blue Angels airplane pilot guy." Check Dad's Thumbs Up Light - Illuminated.
