what happened to the days of wooden spoons

mom used to use the wooden ping pong paddles on us.


i got this idea one day when school was closed for snow(back then it took a couple feet of snow for em to do that)...but anyway, i took the paddles down to the basement, got my grandpop's auger, and made "lightening" holes......very small, very un-noticable......right at the point where the paddle meets the handle.

 the very next time i earned a spanking(it didn't take long...i was a poop stirrer), mom broke the paddle on my ass. it didn't take much of a hit.....but she never realized that i did that.
 she also never spanked either me or my brother again....it scared the crap outta her.

It was added when it became apparant that it was needed, but that was some time after the intial deployment of the D model.  I forget what -# it was which added it... and I am too lazy to go look it up. 

dayum!!

i didn't expect anythign that fast!!!

thank ya sir! i thought they had already studied, and knew it was going to be necessary, and that any bubble canopy model had that.

 i like noticing little things like that.....and learning about em.

P-51D-5 didn't have the additional part of the vertical fin when they were produced initially.  It was retrofitted to many  D-5's later to help with stability. I believe it was standard on 51D's after the D-5.  It was also added to many B/C models that were still in use at the time.

remember a time when spankings weren't fun?

 

Thanks Cap, coffee is now running out of my nose  lol

The same issue was cured the same method when the razorback 47s were redesigned with the bubble canopy. There was a vast loss of lateral stability that was fixed with the added apendage. They were retrofitted to the earlier bubble canopy 47s in the field.
