    Fonzie's Jacket No Longer On Display At Smithsonian

    It's o.k. so long as they don't get rid of it or sell it to a collector so they can get something else.

    Could This Be the new Air Force Dress Uniform???

    I'm glad that Gen Schwartz relegated this discussion to the back burner. He was always a very practical kind of boss. The Air Force has a lot more on its plate to deal with than a goofy uniform. When McPeak changed the uniform, he told us that the choice was made because the majority of...

    Could This Be the new Air Force Dress Uniform???

    They actually went and did it. I didn't think they'd go for that design. Wow, was I wrong. As an aside, the general all the way to the right in the picture was my old wing commander when I was stationed at Hurlburt Field. He was a good boss.

    Guitars

    Friday, I got myself a new toy, something unresistable that had to be bought without a doubt. The deal was just too good to turn down. It's a 1996 18" wide Gretsch Synchromatic 400/Eldorado that was ghost built by the Heritage Guitar Company when they were helping out Gretsch in the mid 90s...

    US Currency Circa 1923

    Interesting. I was told that the bigger bills were also called bedsheets by some folks. I can see why they called them horseblankets also. The art work on those old bills are great.

    Veterans

    Let's not forget an organization that really needs the help. That one is the DAV or Disabled American Veterans of which I'm a life member. There are plenty of vets out there with other than physical disabilities that are in great need of support. We often talk about soldiers giving the...

    Vintage airplanes

    I'd love to be able to fly vintage warbirds but they take way too much of a commitment and way too much money. Besides, lately they seem to be dropping out of the skies.

    Aviation reenactors

    I'm good with that. It's right up my alley. I used to do aviation reenactments myself but not for the past 15 years. I'm also retired AF.

    The 40s Man

    That's pretty much the problem I had. My sister in law lives in a small town in Illinois where the houses go from homes over a hundred years old to modern with everything in between. I would have loved to have bought one before the housing bubble popped because they were really cheap. The...

    The 40s Man

    Correct you are. I don't know if eating the food will kill him but I'm sure he'll become familiar with the term "Montezuma's Revenge". I love that house. In fact, years ago, that's how I wanted to furnish my own house but never had the funds or was never in a place to be able to find that...

    Color photos of 1940's NYC from UK's Daily Mail

    Now that's the New York I knew. I was born in 1950 and those places were basically the same.

    A Tribute to the Men of the 8th Air Force

    Beautiful. The tributes I've done over the years centered around the 8th AF as well.

    LL Bean now selling a black Flying Tigers A2 jacket

    I just wish they wouldn't associate the Flying Tigers with that jacket. I hate when they do that. For those not familiar with the Tigers, the most common jackets used were the US Navy goatskin brown M-422A with the fur collar. They did use some private purchase A2's but they were few and far...

    What do you like the most about The Golden Era?

    In all seriousness, my favorite thing about the Golden Era is that people did things with a certain style that you don't see much of today. For example, you had designs like Art Deco styling, people dressed a lot better in general and many things were made with more attention to detail and...

    Where is this restaurant !?!?!? These are the best prices I've seen around. A buck for a filet mignon? Far out.:essen:lol

    This is a question for the GUYS...

    It really doesn't matter what kind of car she's driving. She's probably just got me confused with someone else.

    Besides English, What Languages Do You Speak?

    I'm another one that was fluent in German but haven't used it since college which I graduated from in 1972. If I concentrate, I can still make myself somewhat understood but I've forgotten so much. Through the German, I'm able to speak some Yiddish but I'm definitely not fluent. I also took...
