This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

I totally agree with the parts of Forgotten Field's post that I understand.

We had a local guy have restored a 7AC Champ. the one he soloed in at age 16. He spent at least $200k, maybe $250k to have the highest quality restoration money can buy. Well, he then chose a custom medium-light blue, paint never used by Aeronca or any other aircraft factory. It is a color he loves more than most, and least by the fly-in judges. Hated to see him not bring home the trophies.

Okay, I'll try a small vocabulary:

Marching and Chowder Club- a favorite of retired British Men, about listening to stirring marches after a good soup. Also some history here- http://history.house.gov/Blog/Detail/15032400030

The Vapors- Accompanying hyperventilation, clutching of the chest, pseudo-fainting, and cries of "My Heart," "Oh Lordy," or "Get My Pills," when certain large, mostly Southern, white or African-American women are evicted from the trailer park, are arrested or detained, or lose at Bingo when the rent is due.

Mexican Heart Attack- San Antonio, 1994, Paramedic School. The accompanying hyperventilation, clutching of the chest, and cries of "Mi Corazon," when a 15 year old Mexican-American girl is dumped by a boyfriend, the quinceañera doesn't go perfectly, or is just crazy. Alternatively, what a 35 year old mother does when she learns the 15 year old girl is pregnant.

Sensitivity Training- a great place to let out your anger at a leftist, liberal, right-wing, conservative mish-mash of stupid politics, work environments, and assaults against the 2nd, 1st, 2nd and other important amendments.... Also known as a bar.

fart- I have no idea what this actually is, as it has never happened to me personally. But I usually can uncannily identify people who have done this, so this isn't an issue.
