When Ted Kennedy figures on the list for his vociferous opposition to Bush administration and its misadventures abroad, calling the iraq war a fraud, this issue cannot be trivilized as some bureaucrats running wild. This proves that this administration has been the most beligerant, spiteful, juvenilely vindictive and in muslims’ case quintessentially bigoted of all and not genuinely interested in preserving safety and protecting americans. The only modus operandi the administration is inclined to follow is very well reminiscent of the gestapo going after its perceived political opponents.

I hardly think putting a retired pop singer on a “Do not enter” list justifies the comparison of U.S. actions with the Gestapo!!!
To even say such a thing belittles the memory of those killed in fighting the Nazi regime.

To all the brain washed supporters of the current Crusade in the M.E. do catch a little known flick called “Control Room”. This will show how the coverage of the profoundly just war against the teethless and largely worn out Iraq, was sugar coated, completely misleading and untruthful.

Hey Che,
How do you know the film was trurthful? Most films are fiction and even documentaries, reflect the filmmaker’s viewpoint. Ask Michael Moore. Even he will admit to having an agenda and telling the “afcts” as he sees them to make a point.

Let me get this straight, you want to convince me the media lies by showing me a story done by someone else. If you don’t trust journalists, why would you trust a film maker? Does’t a film director shift facts to suit the story?
It seems a cynical viewpooint like yours (and your friends who are always ranting about the US media being a puppet of…choose one: 1. The government,2. “big business” or 3. “the Jews”), you’d be better off not trusting, or listening to anyone.

Remember, your namesake knew how to spin a story.
The American media brought down a President (Nixon) and have crippled several others. I defy you to prove your Eurocentric impression about the American media when all you know about it is what your are told by people with axes to grind.

I see.

So, we’re not qualified to discuss what we see in the US media, but you’re qualified to comment on what you believe the UK media say, without having actually seen it.

Now I believe you’re a journalist…… :diablo:

Thanks for the compliment!
I don’t know what you see of the US media…I believe you believe what you’re TOLD about the media.

Slightly off the topic but Swadar Plastic Comany madea neat platic toy of the XC-120 back in the 50’s…complete with removeable pod. Molded in clear plasic to show the trucks, tanks, etc. inside. You can see them occasionally on ebay.

Anybody make a C-82 kit?…It might be a better basis for the conversion, but I don’t klnow of an injection kit or a vacuform for that matter.

Beautiful!!!
As well as enjoying the planes, I always like looking at England from the air…no place else looks like it.

BTW – unless you have daily access to all European news outlets then – by your very own logic – you’re not qualified to comment on their content or editorial policies, are you?

Disagree, the fact that most U.K. papers have a political position, is well known. You know as well as I do that the Guardian, the Mail, The Indepndent all have their positions.
I did NOT say anthing that requires me to read or monitor the UK media on a daily basis….unlike your and Flood’s charges on the American media.

Could this be it?
This was on the set at Universal Studios when I photographed in 1988.

If it was was/is part of a permanent display for their theme park, with the value of a real flying Goose, I bet its a hulk or mockup.
The flying Goose used in “Tales of the Gold Monkey” was advertised in Trade-a-Plane” a few years ago.

And also at Universal Studios Hollywood, when I went through there in 1990 there was a nice X-2 mockup used in an episode of “Quantum Leap” and a T-33….maybe from the “A Gathering of Eagles” film.

Anyone remember Tales of the Golden Monkey from the early 80s. I was only about 5 years old, and seem to recall a red and white Grumman Goose playing a starring role…

When the National Air & Space Museum had their restored Goose on display a few years ago, they had a TV nearby showing stock footage from the series. It was credited to Universal Studios.
