JazzCH, Redbrd & Friends

Thanks you guys for a spirited, awesome furball with me and Tex01 somewhere over the channel south of v54. Sorry I had to bug out when I got PWd. Great fun, just too brief, for me.  :salute

That was probably the best dogfight I’ve been in for years. Jazz and I were both wondering if it got recorded and lamenting that neither of us had done so.

Thanks for the heart pounding fun.

Here's a little of what that fight was like, for me. Sorry for the poor quality, I'm still learning how to post good video. This was primarily me  and Tex01 in 109Es vs Jazz and Redbrd in Spit 1s.

Thanks Arlo. Good luck this semester.  You should ace this, history's your thing. :cheers:

Thanks, squadie. Names and dates, events and locations, results and correlation. I'm old enough and disciplined enough to learn what the professors want to teach me without letting my own perspective on the past get in the way. I appreciate the details they share that fill in the gaps - and verify anything that runs counter to what I thought I already knew(kinda like here).

As usual, I'm taking the slow and steady schedule for my old damaged brain:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday:

11:00 History of United States Military Affairs Since 1900 (Junior course)
13:00 Cultural Brilliance and Political Failure: Germany's Weimar Republic, 1919-1933 (Senior course)

Tuesday, Thursday:

11:00 The United States, 1945 to the Present: Sex and War (Senior course)
14:00 Civil War and Reconstruction, 1850-1877 (Senior course)

12 credit hours, writing intensive

I'm looking forward to it but I will be trying to keep track of you guys (even if it only involves lurking now and again). :)
