Author: Postrider, who will NOT, I repeat NOT get into any airplane that Harm is flying!!!
Subject: Well, I guess you have heard about it by now; but, just in case you haven't:...News Flash: Reagan National Airport, Washington D.C. While in town on business, former U.S. Navy Captain Harmon Rabb, Jr. was taking an old acquaintance, ZNN Correspondent Chuck DePalma (who always "loved" to fly!) on a check flight in his personal airplane, a World War II vintage Stearman. Rabb landed, with predictable results for the former F-14 Tomcat pilot--he walked away (so did the reporter!)...

The Washington Post covered the spectacle and you can witness the whole, darn thing right here:

The person who sits in the back and reads the radar and such. -- Carrotts - who needs to go watch some vintage JAG, I'm forgetting stuff., 10:33:51 06/17/10 Thu

[> [> [> Hi Lu and Posty!! I can get into fully soccer now that basketball is over. :-) BTW only in soccer will we ever view a tie as a win. LOL! -- Carrotts, 11:27:06 06/18/10 Fri

[> [> [> [> ..except when we wuz robbed. And fully into - not into fully.... and who says fully into, anyway? Now I can wrap my head around soccer since basketball is no longer begging for my attention. -- Carrotts - whew, and happy for ESPN radio, 13:58:35 06/18/10 Fri

[> [> [> Now, if Pele were still playing, I'd pay money to see THAT!!! Lucia, you'd be surprised how soccer has gained increased popularity here in the 'States. I know some guys my age who were attending World Cup parties...of course, they were held at bars, so there is a likelihood that the prospects of liquid refreshment being plentiful was a contributing factor! -- Postrider, who couldn't even "look" at a beer for breakfast (when some of these games were being televised!, 15:53:08 06/18/10 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> Nobody could control the ball like Pele. He was that one-of-a-kind talent who was just a magician with the ball. -- Postrider, and Carrotts was right, we WUZ robbed!!!, 05:53:54 06/19/10 Sat

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> We "wuz" robbed when we scored against Slovenia and it was called a foul on us when WE were clearly held and thus fouled! We wuz robbed again today against Algeria when we were called offsides scoring a goal where the Algerian defender and the goalie were behind the ball--but we won anyway in the additional time; so, the U.S.A is now in the round of 16, too. Let the fun begin!!! -- Postrider, watchingthe U.S.A. win its group for the first time since 1930--we've come a long way, baby--but it took a loooong time to do it!!!, 12:19:46 06/23/10 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Don't worry, Carrotts. My eighteen year old cat was watching with me, intently listening to the drone of those horns when I let out a howl. He looked at me, looked back at the television and must have thought in his wise, catly way, "These humans!" and walked off sedately. (He's probably a little hard-of-hearing...) -- Postrider, waiting for Saturday and our next game..., 17:52:50 06/23/10 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Well, we "WUZn't" robbed...we just threw up our hands and gave up two goals...better luck in FOUR years...to borrow the Chicago Cubs saying. Now, as to Brazil? Good luck, Lucia. Argentina and Germany look pretty good to me. -- Postrider, who'd a thunk that at my age, I would have rediscovered soccer (er, futbol, er football). NAH! Soccer!!!, 12:11:53 06/28/10 Mon

[> I'm sorry, Lucia. I know that it's small consolation; however, the tying goal--the "own goal" was going in anyway whether your defende had touched it or not (he really only touched it by a hair--and it was a beautiful, even if lucky, shot.) What I guess I'm trying to say is that it wasn't the tying goal, but the winning goal that hurts, because it was going to be tied anyway. So, NOW for whom to we root? I like the fact that Germany is such a young team, but I find it hard to root for them. -- Postrider, sending Lucia a conciliatory <>..., 16:01:21 07/02/10 Fri

[> [> That was a "hug" I was trying to send Lucia's way, not a lazy diamond, but then diamonds ARE a girl's best friend, so maybe she'd prefer that! -- Postrider, diamond merchant...or "hugging" ambassador? Only FIFA knows for sure..., 16:05:18 07/02/10 Fri

[> [> [> I´ll take the hug AND the diamond!!! LOLOL Well, thanks, Postrider! The first half was really exciting, but after Holland scored a goal in the second half, the Brazilian players looked like they didn't know what to do!! I felt like ... ... them!! I mean, they´re professionals, for God's sake!! It´s when you´re losing that you have to fight harder! Well, Germany is in. Today we still have Spain and Paraguay - aaaannnnd we got bakc to JAG!!!! LOLOLOL -- Lucia ... Four more years.........., 13:27:37 07/03/10 Sat
