Ever heard someone say America has a 'Heap of jet's?'




Doc.

 

Damn, that just seems wrong to have cool hardware like that stacked up and wasting away...and it our tax dollars to boot!!

Not aware of engine switch-off before harbour plunge.

Why "Continental" white lettering on tires have been blanked here?
