How Does It work? 

A really neat shockwave animation showing the firing cycle of the 1911-pattern semi-automatic pistol. You can do it as ghosts, cutaways, or solids.

Dragon and His Tail Being Repainted 

the Colings Foundation is repainting thier B-24. When they started touring the plane was painted in the markings of the "All American" from the 15th Air Force (Mediterranean Theatre). They then repainted her in the spectacular markings of "The Dragon and His Tail" in honor of the Pacific Liberator crews. Now they are going for an 8th Air Force Bomber, "Witchcraft" from the 467th Bomb group, 790th Bomb Squadron. This plane completed 130 combat missions. very cool.

Old Time Modeling 

A link back to the time when building model airplanes meant at best balsa and tissue or at worst carving the shapes out of blocks of wood. A fascinating reference source of plans, aviation adventure stories and magazines form the past. Lots of good stuff here.

Deep Thoughts 





Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence





You are great at finding patterns and relationships between things.
Always curious about how things work, you love to set up experiments.
You need for the world to make sense - and are good at making sense of it.
You have a head for numbers and math ... and you can solve almost any logic puzzle.

You would make a great scientist, engineer, computer programmer, researcher, accountant, or mathematician.

Soul Man 





You Are an Old Soul





You are an experience soul who appreciates tradition.
Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone.
Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient.
A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people.

You hate injustice, and you're very protective of family and friends
A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others.
Extremely independent you don't mind living or being alone.
But when you find love, you tend to want marriage right away.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul and Visionary Soul



What Kind of Soul Are You?

I am Truman.
Which Evil Criminal are You?
A Rum and Monkey crime.

I AM 19% WHITE TRASH!
19% WHITE TRASH
I, my friend, have class. I am so not white trash. . I am more than likely Democrat, and my place is neat, and there is a good chance I may never drink wine from a box.


You are 32% geek
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.


You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!


Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!


You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.
