Unexploded World War II bomb washes up in North Carolina

More like Martin Milner when he was 12.

California Mfg plate on the front.

Same thing I was thinking..

I know he doesn't look it because of his "baby face" looks, but at the time that photo was taken (late 1962) he was 31 years old (DOB: 12/28/1931)

We've used them twice to haul our customers newly purchased equipment (100,000lbs) to god forsaken regions. They had to use Lincoln NE airport, Omaha's was too short. The last time (2004ish) I think it was $44,000 an hour, I dont think our customers could afford to use them anymore.

The first time our service guy was able to ride along to location.

----Good looking 66 but the white walls have to go. The white is way too wide.....Bill S

I think you are right,John

----Lincoln Auto Wreckers was where the 7 mile 67 L88 Corvette ended up from the original owner. It's a long story but the car was bought by a guy to race. He took it apart instantly upon delivery, and sent the engine out to be built. The story stopped there for years. Then the car (without engine and other parts) ended up at L.A.W. From there it went to a collector who slapped it together incorrectly and ended up with one of our best customers at Classic Motors. He was from Wisconsin and eventually sold it to another of our customers who was partners on it with Dave Burroughs of BGold fame. Then it was put back together correctly with the exception of the original engine. The original, to my knowledge was never found. An NOS correctly dated L88 engine was found for it. Never stamped. Can't remember at this moment where it resides today, but Tim G would probably know......Bill S

What's that ugly color on the Garlits car?

Season 2 premiers this Friday (10/30) on Disney+. A new episode will appear each Friday afterwards (8 in Season 2)

Many of the AF fighters have the cockpit profile on the belly of the aircraft. In the case of the Hog, the tub is actually much smaller than the profile on its belly.

In the heat of aerial battle, simple visual cues can throw off pilots and make dramatic split-second differences. Any camouflage helps, but fighters need to be sleek and maneuverable so design solutions likewise have to be physically unobtrusive.

Working within this limitation, one particularly clever strategy for throwing off enemy planes involves painting a false canopy on the underside of an aircraft. Essentially: the transparent cockpit enclosure on the top of a plane is visually mimicked on its underside — a confused enemy pilot might thus mistake the bottom of a craft for its top in the heat of combat. Like many camouflaging strategies, this design approach borrows from precedents found in nature.

It is a type of automimicry found, for instance, in fish and other animals. Unlike conventional camouflage, however, that blends with surrounding environments, automimicry involves self-imitation. In the case of creatures, similar markings on the head and tail can confuse a potential predator about the speed and direction of their target — like a fish with a pair of fake eyes toward its rear.

Likewise with aircraft, a fake canopy painted on the bottom can create confusion around the craft’s attitude and potential maneuvers.
