'tis a good series. I was watching one about the Arab-Israeli 7-day war I
had on Tivo this morning. Apparently not only did the Israeli's get the
first three kills using an F-15 in 1979 they did it using three different
methods (heat-seaking missle, radar missle, guns) in one engagement. Not
only that they've gone on to rack up 50+ kills since with 0 F-15s lost. Not
bad. Reason #724 I love Tivo...

Not sure how many of you have seen any of the episodes of the Discovery
Channel's Dogfights but, I was just watching one of "Swede" Vejtasa out
dogfighting 3 Jap Zeros in an SBD Dauntless. Then, it ends with him
shooing down 7 zeros in another dogfight while flying a Grumman
Hellcat.
The next episode was of a B-17 "Old 666" taking on 17 Jap Zeros in a
dogfight.

Well, I guess I can never again say it doesn't snow in Auburn.
About 3:00p this afternoon, I was sitting in my truck, yakking on the
phone, watching it rain. Funny thing though, from time to time, the
rain looked very slushy. After getting off the phone, I went back to
work and listened to the rain on the hangar. About 4:00p it started to
get quiet. I thought the rain had stopped. About 6p when I shutdown
and opened the hangar door to leave, there was 2 inches of snow on my
truck. Big snow too. Two inch diameter snow flakes. Reminded me of
some serious snow storms in Salt Lake City.
The weatehr is supposed to continue through tomorrow.

Yes... it had a fixed, forward firing gun installed - aimed by the pilot.
..... as well as some extras in the bomb aiming position and twin gun
mounts for the waist gunners....
