Think they got it covered

[SfanGoch]

The appreciation of art is subjective, and building cars, big ones or little ones, qualifies as "art".

   Hey Greg, Got any Shots of the SR 71 Taking Off !?

No, just fond memories. I did get up that way to watch the show.

 I was down at Naha NAF,  '70-'74, P-3's, A-4's, A-6's F-4's, F-8's , P-2's, S-2's and USAF C-130's, now there's a short take off show.

     That'd make for a Classic Airshow these days! Before moving out here we were in the Flight path of Moffett Field. P-3's a plenty and the NASA U-2 on a regular basis. Now days it's A-10's playing follow the leader and C-130's doing low elevation Mountain Practice down Cochise Stronghold a couplea miles from our back "yard".

Sounds like a visit to Mom's house in Tucson. I remember moving there it 1961. The lady selling the house was adamant, "those planes out there don't fly."

Clean, one-owner F-84Fs! Buy 'em by the dozen for extra SAVINGS!

Surprising they piled 'em up to scrap like that. A lot of F100s and F4 Phantoms ended their careers as target drones.

Weren't those  84s J-65 powered? Maybe the engines were pulled for A4 spares.

Your tax dollars at work.

Cool. Tens of millions of dollars worth of warplanes turned into thousands of dollars of aluminum scrap.

Swords into plowshares, fighters into beer cans.

I'd be afraid of something like this happening

WOW, I hope that I don't have the wrong dashboard in my car???

Does yours have an altimeter and attitude indicator? They're available as optional equipment on some models.

[High octane]

There was an attitude indicator in my mom's car, as I was teed off and slammed my fist into the horn ring and broke it. she wasn't happy 'bout that.

[Belugawrx]

My '88 Dodge Raider (Mitsubishi) 4X4, had an attitude indicator on top of the dash,...I would climb steep side hills just to get it to move once in a while

It also had an oil pressure gauge that my ex never bothered to look at...........

That's it, up top. middle

No that is not me

OK, maybe that one could use an altimeter.

One of the first rides in my '69 Charger, my young son, an ardent "Dukes" fan was scoping out the dash.

"What are you looking for son?" 

"Which one of those buttons makes it pop a wheelie?"

The '69 Charger dash you show above Greg, is still one of the great instrument panel designs ever. Except for the tach. What was the point of putting a huge clock right on top of the tach? You might as well move the tach down to the console, were several other cars had it. Either setup works just as well. In other words, not well at all.
