Just listen to the first episode.


Oh yeah! Listen to the song entitled "Alabama Astronaut" HERE.

A10 Thunderbolt

I remember in the late 1990's there were 2 A10's at the Bloomington Illinois air show. They ran through their maneuvers showing how just 2 aircraft could ALWAYS have one on top of the enemy. Their turning radiance was so small that when one aircraft was turning about, the other was already in place to keep firing.

Now we're talking!  A wonderful activity with your middle school children.  Build a trebuchet and fling that garbage towards the jerk at the end of the street.


Also good for launching manure at opposing fraternities.

Oh, and if you don't get the tongue in cheek suggestions above, then you lack a sense of humor... well, my humor.
