Cool Vids

I saw a documentary of the Thunderbirds practicing their maneuvers while sitting around a conference table. Their squad leader would count out the timing and all the squad would make the maneuvers at the proper time using imaginary equipment. Then when it came time to do the actual air show the squad leader did the same counts through the headphones.
It was an interesting program.

I've always wondered,XL-entLady, how they practiced. There's no room for errors on even the first airborne practice!
Don't you know that must be some kind of pride in being able to do that, even, maybe more so, the squad leader's role! I don't mean the boastful, grandiose pride, but the inner knowledge that you've been granted a rare talent & have accomplished its goal..... the kind that makes a grin come to your mouth & a sparkle in you eyes. That's a special kind of club, but I guess there are many of those in many things our military have to do, including outer space guys!! :cool:

even better if one can use that talent to bring a grin to other's mouths and put a sparkle in their eyes.
 
Yoiks!! Un - real!!
...can you believe the hard work going into just getting to be able to do that!
I'll bet they had fun, though :laugh:
 
Since we are on the subject of old age and beatiful girls...

The Old Man And The Beaver



An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up...



The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the
86-year-old said ,'Things are great and I've never felt better.'

I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child.

"So what do you think about that Doc ?"



The doctor considered his question for a minute and
then began to tell a story.

"I have an older friend , much like you, who is an avid hunter
and never misses a season."



One day he was setting off to go hunting.

In a bit of a hurry , he accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun."

"As he neared a lake , he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the water's edge..




He realized he'd left his gun at home and so he couldn't shoot the magnificent creature.

Out of habit he raised his cane , aimed it at the animal as if
it were his favourite hunting rifle and went 'bang, bang'."

"Miraculously , two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead.


Now, what do you think of that ?" asked the doctor.

The 86-year-old said ,
"Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else
pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."

The doctor replied , "My point exactly."
 
nnuut, do you have any idea of the date of this program?
That is plumb scary !!
No but I know the ones the Government made me use had hard drives. They threw away Our personal Printers and made us use those things, Smart, then if one broke everybody in the office couldn't print or FAX.:suspicious:
