Pretty awesome! Thanks for posting

The K9 pics are very cool.

Those are some cool pics. My buddy sent it to me a few days ago, I didn't want them to stop.

I do have a question though, why does the deck of that ship look like it is covered in plywood?

[sevenhelmet]

Decks of battleships are covered in teac wood. If I remember correctly, it was to eliminate the possibility of a spark igniting gunpowder charges on deck during magazine loading.

Awesome photos.

The 13B pics are my favorites.

Great website. Found some other wonderful pictures of bomber nose art.

Good find. Some of the artwork is extremely well done. "Strawberry Bitch" - ha ha.

Sadly that period is long gone when such art was allowed. Can you imagine the hulla ballou that would erupt if some crew had the nerve to decorate a modern war plane? If it was allowed, I can only imagine what sort of weird ass stuff might show up in our current state of "cultural erosion".

Great photos. The battleship looks like the USS Iowa. I opened the link and found another photo of the USS Wisconsin.

Seeing those 16" guns fired on the USS Iowa was something to remember.

I saw these two and said to myself, "That's why you pay extra for optics that can put up with abuse."

I don't think your standard budget minded fixed 4x scope would handle this very well. I also just have to add, I LOVE the look of the dude's full size M16A4 in the first pic.

I know where "Strawberry Bitch" is... Dayton Air Force Museum.. I saw it myself. The aircraft itself is a off pinkish color, you have to see it to believe it. A little off topic, but they also have the B-29 "Bocks car" there as well. Bocks car dropped the 2nd A-bomb.. It's well worth while to visit if you get the chance..

That museum is awesome, and I remember the first time I saw Bock's Car. Last year I went to the Smithsonian Air and Space Annex at the Reagan airport, they had the fully assembled Enola Gay there. I had only ever seen it in pieces before long ago in the main museum on the national mall. I grabbed a pano shot from the catwalk above it.

They also had the Discovery sitting in a huge bay among a lot of space history (of which I am a huge nerd).

The USAF museum and the annex are the two best aircraft museums I've ever seen.

Cool beans man. I love those old planes. Had a chance to tour and crawl around a bunch of restored WWII planes many years ago when they were on tour.

Have many cool pix of the "Nine O Nine" (apparently a tribute). If you have an active imagination, like I do, boy was that a cool experience to sit in those seats and stand behind those guns. Studs every damn one of those aviators...:

per Wikipedia:


Nine-O-Nine was a Boeing B-17G-30-BO Flying Fortress heavy bomber, of the 323rd Bomb Squadron, 91st Bomb Group, that completed 140 combat missions during World War II, believed to be the Eighth Air Force record for most missions, without loss to the crews that flew it.

Hmmm...

In the top picture, I don't think any damage was done to the optic or weapon that would have destroyed a non-RCO. There are plenty of "budget minded" 1-4x that would have survived like an MTAC or Leatherwood Hi-Lux and a Vortex. Unless you mean like a Bersa or something horrible like that, but even then the amount of damage is so minimal it just might make it.

I somehow broke two ACOGs and one set of PVS-14s in one 6 month work-up, one optic turned into a powdered foggy window after training an EMP range with full auto M4s. I'm not sold on their invincibility but my anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much compared to their widespread use and proven reliability.


The second picture there is so full of fail I don't think that a broken optic is anywhere near the top of the priority list...

There are a lot of pretty cool pictures in that collection. Some of them appear to be photoshop creations in my opinion. The shot of the missile before hitting the building being one of them. It "might" have been a very long lens, but the perspective on that shot doesn't seem possible.

It is allowed to an extent. Though very minimal. On certain Aircraft active today I have seen it. Although not women or objects, but sports related....
