plan...

Carol:
April 18th this year will mark the 68th anniversary of the famous Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. I leave it up to you to report on the raid itself, but offer the following since I'm pretty sure your source for such abbreviated announcements won't include some NNS
connections (below) which I am sure will be of interest to your readers.... WOWZERONI-RINI!!! Thank you again so very much for this fascinating account, Bill! ![]() |
From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of
NC - 04/17/14 - "Landing in New Zealand":
Cockpit view
landing through thick clouds. Known as the land of the long white cloud, so if you fly into NZ you could well encounter this scenario. Hold on to your seat. This is spectacular. I often have wondered why the airline industry doesn't have a live video feed from the aircraft's nose streamed into the cabin in order to amuse and bedazzle their weary travelers. This is the descent into Queenstown, New Zealand. It must take great faith in your instruments to pilot an approach like this but the rush must be amazing. http://www.chonday.com/Videos/pilotnewzdalnd1
YOWZERS-WOWZERS!
Thanks, Dools!

- 04/17/14:
A sweet little boy surprised his
grandmother one morning and brought her a cup of coffee. He made it
himself and was so proud. He anxiously waited to hear the verdict on the
quality of the coffee. The grandmother had never in her life had such a
bad cup of coffee, and as she forced down the last sip she noticed three
of those little green army guys in the bottom of the cup. |
