Snaps-Impressive! Although the one you mention above, while familiar, escapes me at the moment…

Now…how about the ones in the pics?

Let’s see how good you guys are with your shark knowledge…a ‘shark Test’ as it were…I’ll throw out a few scientific names, you guys match up the real world name of the shark I’m talking about….

Negaprion Brevirostris
Carcharodon Carcharias
Prionace Glauca
Carcharhinus Falciformis
Carcharhinus Longimanus
Isurus oxyrhinchus
Galeocerdo Cuvieri

That should keep you busy for a while….meanwhile, I’ll dig through my shark photo files and see whats I gots…

Amazing creatures, sharks…did some tagging while I was in the Coast Guard and was always fascinated with them…I have studied them until I know ALMOST as much about them as I do WWII planes…and that’s a LOT of studying!

I applaud J Boyle’s comments and think QUITE a few people on this forum (no names mentioned) spend a GREAT deal of their time bitching about stupid sh*t instead of appreciating what some folks are trying to do out there in the world of warbird aviation….and these god-awful debates over whether a plane is original from parts actually used in it during it’s service life or whether the plane was built from the ground up (read OSCARS) with new materials to old specs…let’s get over that, huh? They’re kinda ridiculous….

Hmmm…that shot of the MB 5 at the top of this thread features Jack Cronyn’s ‘Navy/Denver’ T-6 in the background….flew a photo mission with it last month…and then we have some Key Publishing employess with it as OSH 2003 as illustrated here…

In the states here tonight, they’ll be playing ‘Saving Private Ryan’ across the country on TV, but apparently even Janet Jackson has had an effect on that plan…hot on the heels of her little clothing malfunction at this year’s Super Bowl, the censors are all up in a wad over some of the language in the film, and some of the stations have decided to pull the plug on playing the movie in its entirety (ie unedited and uncensored) in fear of FCC fines for doing so….

Seems we can’t even give a television tribute without it being affected by today’s rules and standards and the actions of others, and fear of recriminations for OFFERING that tribute…

…and what fun they are….’scuse me, Mothra is at the door…
