Holy Crap! I did something cool last week!

We went out to Vegas to spend some time with bride's family, our HS reunion (we went to HS overseas so our reunions are anywhere in the country and cover several years).

But I also did something V E R Y cool from an aviation geek side: I went to the Petting Zoo @ Nellis AFB.

The Petting Zoo was once a classified facility and became known a couple decades ago

NICE
I can see why Air Force has strict standards for eyesight. That's a lot of stuff in that cockpit

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
