Just a question to ponder….Given the resolution of these Google Maps, could it be possible that these “signs of disrepair” are in fact fake and were put there to make people believe the runway isn’t being used?

Hey,Virgil and Billy Bob are family members, please be a little more kind next time commenting on random people :p

Well, to make a long story short. It was about 15 years ago, I was around 12 years old and my father and I had gone to a tool/equipment auction. We had split up, trying to cover more ground. I was on my own when I was looking at this particular old tool when an old man came up to me and asked me if I knew what I was looking at. Not really looking at him, I said no, Im trying to make some sense of it, and he went into this short but sweet disertation on what it did, how it did it, etc etc….. I remember looking at the man, and it was my grandfather (my dads father) whom had passed away a few months after I was born. Being freaked out at first (I saw enough pics to be able to pick my grandpa out anywhere) I sorta calmly skidded away trying to find my father.

I told my father what had happened…We spent the rest of the day looking for his old man, or an “imposter”……but to no avail.

To this day I swear it was my grandpa just being there with me, even if just for a split second.

Call me crazy, but I cherish those seconds to this day.

If you like these stories, check out the late night radio show Coast to Coast AM on Friday nights (actually 0100 to 0500 Saturdays, Eastern time USA). That night the topic is “Open Lines” with listeners phoning in their weird stories. The website, http://www.coasttocoastam.com, lists the stations (“affiliates”) in the USA and Canada that air the show. Outside of North America, you can probably pick it up over the internet from the show’s website or the website of one of the affiliates.

Hey, dont mess with Coast to Coast, I get all of my information from that program 🙂

But seriously, I have listened to this program, and while many times it is laughable (Best was, “Havent you ever heard of an alien human hybrid?” Yes, I swear on all the holy books that was a question) there are some interesting tidbits, like anything else, learn to read between the lines.

Can we just call this what it is? The military man being pissed at the politicans, nothing more, nothing less. Been going on for a long time, but I doubt there are many, if any (I’m sure there are a few pricks, there always are) US soldiers that would speak down on any Britt soldier, other than a little good ole haggling…And vice versa.

Let’s not forget what Paton thought of Montie…..well, lets not go there 🙂

Quite right, the Agp 77 is an active array but you might not know that the Apg 77 moves its entire array is one unified direction not separate directions- this is why the Russians arent taking the Apg 77 too seriously(Link escapes me) , it functionally operates like a passive phased array.

Are you sure you are talking about the APG-77, the F-22’s radar?

Bah, Humbug! :diablo:

Oh, alright then….Merry Christmas!

BAH HUMBUUUUUUUUUUUUUgggggggggg to you too 🙂

Merry christmas to all, and to all a Goodnite………

Hope everyone, wherever you are, whatever you believe in, have a happy christmas and you are able to spend it with loved ones.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!!!!!!!

(Watch out for Santa though, last year I left him some cookies and carrots for his reindeer, they cleaned my fridge out……..this year I gave them some more and my fridge has a padlock on it 🙂 )
