Spending some time down here in Panama City Beach FL for the Holiday's---------------here is a little Blast From The Past ==========These are the type aircraft I have seen flying in this area, as a younger man fishing offshore with my Dad. As an ex Fighter Pilot he always enjoyed seeing the aircraft, as did I.

Nice vintage blast from the past. I recall when growing up running outside to watch a 4 ship DELTA flight blast overhead, quite the thrill! Probably will not see that again.

And Merry Christmas to you too sir!!!!

Have been working on that time machine for some
years now without success, but remain hopeful.

If we ever get it built we'll definitely have to take
a trip back to Trader Jons. Probably better be very
careful with the settings for the year. There was
a time when much more that adult beverages were
sold there.

Thank you Owen
You take care
