Big Jim "Rescue Rig", anybody have one of them, or maybe a GIJoe, the cool one with the beard and scare on the face.

P.S. Amazing what you think when you fly:)

I still have my GiJoes(well the ones I didn't blow up with firecrackers when I was 11 ;)  )  I even have some of the gear, though it's in prety bad shape.  I have the case that folds out into the checkpoint and also the deapsea diving rig.  
I had all that crap when I was 10.  

sure wish my favorite toys where still that cheap

Yeah I still got two of 'em myself.

The black haired "soldier" (dressed in camo fatigues) and the blond haired "pilot" dressed in orange overalls.

The cool thing about em is that every joint moved, unlike the "action figures" of today's youth.

My kids used to play with em, til I put em GIJoe into retirement to save him for posterity.

My wife used to ask my oldest son when he was little "how much do you love me?" then when he's stretch his arms wide, she'd tickle him on his ribs... well, it didn't take too long before when asked "how much do you love me?" he'd hold up GIJoe's little hand and say "this much."
(GIJoe had his hand shaped like his was describing an inch to someone.)

GI Joe - I bought the Korea War Pilot big one some years back during the post-Christmas sales and smuggled it out of the store like it was porno - "Its not for me...".  Now its on my bookcase giving me the evil eye when I'm not flying.  I can almost imagine it saying "Get yer butt up there, mister!  And fight like a man!"

Here is a bit of history I bet you didn't know......

Dialog From a Tonight Show ... Johnny Carson ...  His guest was Lee
Marvin.


 

Johnny said, "Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware that you were a
Marine in the initial landing at Iwo Jima ... and that during the course
of that action you earned the Navy Cross and were severely wounded."

And you know how Lee was ..."Yeah, yeah ... I got shot square in the bellybutton
and they gave me the cross for securing a hot spot about halfway up
Suribachi ... Bad thing about getting shot up on a mountain is guys gettin'
shot hauling you down.

But Johnny at Iwo I served under the bravest man I ever knew ... We
both got the Cross the same day but what he did for his Cross made mine
look  cheap in comparison.

The dumb bastard actually stood up on Red Beach and directed his troops
to move forward and get the hell off the beach. That Sergeant and I have
been life long friends.




When they brought me off Suribachi we passed the Sergeant and he lit a
smoke and passed it to me lying on my belly on the litter ...

"Where'd they get you Lee?"...

"Well, Bob ... if you make it home before me, tell Mom to sell the
outhouse.....Johnny, I'm not lying ...Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man
I ever Knew... ...Sergeant Bob Keeshan ...

Origins:   We can't say for sure whether Lee Marvin ever told the story described above to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show (Marvin was a guest on the show seven times during Carson's tenure as host), but the details of the anecdote are undeniably false.

Lee Marvin did enlist in the U.S. Marines and saw action in the Pacific during World War II, and he was wounded (in the buttocks) by fire which severed his sciatic nerve. However, this injury occurred during the battle for Saipan in June 1944, not the battle for Iwo Jima, which took place several months later in February 1945.

Bob Keeshan, later famous as television's "Captain Kangaroo" also enlisted in the U.S. Marines, but too late to see any action during World War II. Keeshan was born on 27 June 1927 and enlisted two weeks before his 18th birthday, months too late to have taken part in the fighting at Iwo Jima. A 1997 interview with Keeshan noted that he "later enlisted in the U.S. Marines, but saw no combat" because, as Keeshan said, his enlistment "was just before we dropped the atom bomb."

Yes, but didn't Mr Greenjeans develop the plutonium refining techniques at Oak Ridge National Laboratories during the Manhattan Project?
