F-35 Program Costs Jump to $406.5 Billion in Latest Estimate The cost of the F-35 jet program, already the most expensive U.S. weapons program ever, is estimated to climb further as the plane’s production period gets extended, according to figures submitted to Congress on Monday. Total acquisition costs for Lockheed Martin Corp.’s next-generation fighter may rise about 7 percent to $406.5 billion, according to figures in a document known as a Selected Acquisition Report. That’s a reversal after several years of estimates that had declined to $379 billion recently from a previous high of $398.5 billion in early 2014. Read more: https://goo.gl/vmBLUh

Why America’s Enemies Still Fear the B-52 Bomber? The B-52 Stratofortress first flew in 1952 and ended its production run in 1962, so the 76 B-52Hs in Air Force service are older than nearly anyone flying them. Trump is literally accurate in stating that “your grandfather” may have flown the plane, in that there is at least one family with three generations of B-52 crew members.

Veterans Day Ceremony and Unveiling of World War 1 Monument November 11, 2018


This was filmed on Veterans Day November 11, 2018 that was the 100th anniversary of the end of the World War (later to be World War I)  but at that time was thought to be the war to end all wars. This event was to celebrate both the 100th anniversary of the end of that war and the unveiling of the monument that was placed in the Nordonia Hills Veterans Memorial Park.  This park was was started by American Legion Post 801 where I am the Commander and the master of ceremony for the event.  The Veterans of Foreign Wars post 6768 provided the 21 gun salute.

This park in an ongoing project which is only about 50% done as of March 2019. If you might like to help us finish this project visit our website at http://www.NHVMP.com. We have just created a foundation to handle the completion of the park and expect the paper work will be finish by mid year (things are delayed because of the recent government shut down).

This documentary investigates the tragedy, exploring the true reasons why the orbiter Columbia so catastrophically exploded as it re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere, 200,000 feet above the skies of Texas. Six American astronauts and Israel’s first spaceman died when their spaceship literally broke up around them. Was it a genuine one-off disaster or an accident waiting to happen?

Experimenting with the T-10 military chute when it came out in 1967


This video is taken with a supper 8 camera and the conversion to digital isn’t as good as I would like but it’s interesting if you like jumping from perfectly good airplanes, C-123’s in this case. This was shot in in 1967 I think it was either April or early May at Fr Bragg, NC I don’t remember what drop zone it was. I had the camera strapped to my helmet so the first part after going out the door is a bit jerky until the canopy opens. At the end of the film that is me packing my chute after a jump.
