Actually, I can believe it... as this was so much different from the other subjects.

However, speaking as a bonafide wingnut, much of what you've posted so far hasn't been very challenging at all. Even the sword... I recognized it right away, as I recall when those images were added to the NMUSAF site. Although I will admit that I did have to look it up for the specifics. :oops:

Keep 'em coming... as a former quizmaster myself, I enjoy these things. And it's nice to exercise the 'ole gray matter database... if you don't use it you may lose it, as they say.

But I'd suggest finding some other sources, especially if you hope to truly challenge the more av-savvy folks here...

Bring it... grasshopper, bring it...

The dudes in the B-25 photo are Hap Arnold and Henry Ford at Willow Run. The date I have for the photo is July 13th, 1944.

And Nate, I believe it is possible that the B-25 in the photo is indeed 'Miss Hap', but am not entirely sure.

Thanks for the compliment!

I will admit though to having shorts hidden under there. :wink: I working up to it, but until then I do have my Saltire and Lion Rampant prowdly displayed.

My buddy sent me the "Insta-Kilt". He's getting ready to start his doctorate at Glagow Uni. For those who don't know the Insta-Kilt is "A beach towel that turns into a Kilt.....instantly". He even thought well enough of me to send along some Glenfiddich and Glenmorangie. :D

Not to mention this gem (gets all the looks):......

So when are the Proclaimers gonna write the new national anthem? :wink:
