Warbird Information Exchange

Wow.., I am totally amazed at all the stir this link as caused. Where do you all live that you find this on the internet offensive? What planet? What century?

If you don't care for what you see.., don't look.

Overall I found the photos interesting and telling. The grisly ones I could see from the thumbnails.., I chose not to look at.

Grow up people and get out of your basements. This is America and this is the end of 2010.

How will we know whether we "care" for it or not unless we look. IMHO, I think the thrust of the "complaints" was that this was not the proper forum for grisly pictures, whether they contained warbirds or not.

I do agree with that., although the 'poster' had indicated he was searching for Hellcat..,and a nice shot of the Privateer.

These photos were rather tame. I was timid in opening the link thinking it might be in line with the poor chap who was injested into an engine in El Paso.., but once I opened.., I was confused if I had clicked the right link.

I wonder when cut of shorts are going to come back into style? I kind of miss them.

I can't say I'm a fan of the skull pictures but the others are great!

The thing that really bothers me are the photos of the pilot's remains.
That anyone, much less a officer of the law, could disrespect the remains of
a American serviceman who died in the line of duty during wartime, no less, is
very disappointing. You expect that in Somolia not Crater Lake, OR USA

Why are the remains of a WW2 serviceman more important than the remains of anyone else? A bit insensitive if the family saw the photo, but how exactly was anyone harmed?

On all of this, its a matter of timing.... In the post civil war era, it was considered good form to rob indian graves and sell the bones. In WWII in the south Pacific, no problem collecting Japanese body parts. In Vietnam, some troops took ears as trophies, some (SGT Carpenter you still out there??) used to wear ears on a string as a necklace. In 1970, there would have been no real social problems with holding a skull and putting a ranger hat on it.....

After all didn' t people like to get their pictures taken in KKK atire in the 1920s??

Same thing. You guys need to lighten up and have a beer. Next you'll be saying its MORALLY WRONG to paint kill markings on airplanes since they represent DEAD ENEMY AVIATORS.....

I didn't notice them playing dress-up with any other remains. Did I miss that?
I never said anyone was harmed I said was "That anyone, much less a officer of the law,
could disrespect the remains of a American serviceman who died in the line of duty during wartime,
no less, is very disappointing."

Some excellent reference shots of period Park Ranger vehicles & equipment in there; I also found it to be a good period snapshot of the time and what a Park Ranger did back then.

I have seen far worse content both on the internet and in mainstream print; anyone who's checked out "Death Scenes: A Homicide Detective's Scrapbook" will know what I'm talking about.

I agree with Jack.

Lighten up folks...... unbeleivable!

I saw nothing too objectionable there - as previously mentioned - a bit tasteless and over endowed with information, but, as a record of what goes on in the life of a Ranger - well - it's a harsh old world out there, people. Real life is not like a TV show.
