Not a Harley

by George Williams on January 19, 2022 · in Automotive · 18 ≡

Hi, I haven’t posted anything for a while so here goes with another motorbike. I don’t usually do road bikes but this one caught my eye. It’s Yamaha’s attempt at a cruiser. Tamiya originally released this 1/12 kit some years [...]

Dancing with the Wolf: F-14A and the Vf-1 Wolfpack, USS Ranger 1982

by Roland Sachsenhofer on January 18, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

by Bill Koppos on January 17, 2022 · in News · 7 ≡

Charles Mcgee fits the title "Superhero" much better than any comic book character. I won't get long winded, just post the AP article which sums up his story OK. And his P-51B "Kitten", named for his Wife. Once tough, [...]
