Funny you should mention it:

Although my wife Kelley helped me clean the dust and dirt off of the dome right there on our family room table, I couldn't talk her and the kids into holding it over me as I sat in the recliner and watched the movie.

Kids these days! :roll:

Have to use one of those bent hospital straws to drink beer in that thing, no room to tilt a can or bottle!

I suppose you could drink any kind of beer that you want as long as it is in the proper container:

I always thought that happiness was that brief period after you finish something but before you tell a woman about it

I can do pretty much the same thing if I put on 'Black Sheep Squadron' and hold up the part of Bob Guilford's old Corsair that I have in my possesion (it participated in a half day of shooting, I'm told)....but I won't, as it is a tiny uninteresting piece and not as dramatic as a turret.

Cools hots tho..

So wearing a A-2 with complete Leather helmet & goggles / Silk Escape Scarf /May West life jacket is OK to have on to watch Movies like Fighter Squadron ?
My wife will not be too thrilled to know that their others like me out there !...................I Love it !
