An afterthought about the air show. It's a fully public event, so anyone is welcome to attend. If anyone is interested, ask around your friends. Bring friends, bring family, bring anyone you'd want to spend the day with :-) Though, if you bring family, you may want to consider actually heading onto the base to the parking areas, that way you can ( Read more... )

McGuire AFB
Air Show / Open House

On June 4 and June 5, McGuire AFB will be having an Open House/Air Show. There will be performances by the Army's Golden Knights, a stunt skydiving team, and the Navy's Blue Angels.

Interesting thing happened this morning. I'm brushing my teeth when my father yells, "Benjamin, phone! It's the Army calling." I finish up quick-like, make it to the phone, but they'd hung up. My dad had answered, and the person at the other line said, "Sorry wrong number." It was a Picatinny phone number, I recognized it on caller ID. So, that was ( Read more... )

So, I haven't been online much over the last couple of days. You'll all laugh as to why: I've a rekindled interest in one of my old Gameboy games. No, not the GBA, a good old fashioned GB game. Which one? Pokemon, of all things. Of the Blue/Red era, when there were only 151 (must not forget about Mew ^_ ( Read more... )
