Probably get rid of that one if you want to keep the thread alive
That's also pretty common here in the US, as well. When I was an EMT, our rigs had "AMBULANCE" spelled backwards on the front. This, of course, so that it could be seen as "AMBULANCE" in the rear view mirror of a car in front of us... in the hope that they'd recognize that we were trying to get by them and they should "PULL OVER!"

But this is not a mirror image, it's just backwards. Of course, like most of the boobs in this thread, it's not real.

This man was in an assisted living facility. He was Marine Corps during WWII. When his time was up he went to the Air Force. He said he thought it would let him travel and get to go to a bunch of air bases around the world. I asked if he enjoyed it. He said "oh yeah, they gave me a place to live, fed me, put clothes on me, and even paid me! It was a great life." I think he was in the military for over 30 years.
We were not notified of his passing. We would have went to his funeral in uniform of course.

fathers uncle was joined the army at 15 for WW2 got caught during basic..army told him navy will take anyone right now (this was shortly after pearl harbor)
turned 16 in basic, was then on the NJ in a 5" mount
after WW2 his younger brother was drafted in the army for korea so he said he'll go and watch over him
dumped his rank in the navy so they were together
he used to say he wasnt sure what was worse sweating in a floating target or sleeping in a "fucking hole filled with snow"
...all he did was talk about the New Jersey, had tons of stories, models all over the house, pictures
wife used to yell that he loved that boat more than her, hed answer your right.. old school marriage lol
Spread this one far and wide then watch people self select themselves right out of the gene pool

It seemed like every time my cutter was leaving San Diego there were 18’s taking off from NAS North Island. Almost invariably the pilots would decide to have a little fun with the Coasties, you would see them level off about 20’ off the runway and go wheels up. They would barely clear the fence at the end of the runway and go by us at almost eye level then pull up hard or make a hard left over the ship channel to avoid a vertical landing on Pt. Loma. I’ve seen 18’s flying low enough to blow spray up off of the water.
I would love to take that ride in a twin seater.
Probably should fast for about 12 hours ahead of time.
Interesting fact about the B29 program, it cost more than the atomic bomb to develop.
12/08/2020 The good old days.
Slight inaccuracy. The total cost of the program, not just development, but also including production of 3,970 aircraft cost more than the Manhattan project that produced two bombs - $3B vs $2B. Each B29 cost around $639,000. They were extremely effective even before putting the final nail in the coffin, so to speak. They flew anywhere between 50-120 on a single raid, over 20,000 missions.
(edit- Boeing states as many as 1000 attacked Tokyo in a single attack on Tokyo. Remember, they were based all over Asia and India, as well as the Pacific. The largest number I can find from another source is 520.)
As this is a pic thread:
(this last image is the devastation in Tokyo from incendiary bombing March 9/10, 1945 - 279 B-29's in this attack.)

At the marina where my father kept his boat in Jersey City, there was a fellow that offered "Seaplane" rides. Basically he would take off from Newark Bay, and circle around so you could see all the different sights around the area (NYC, Statue of Liberty, etc. etc.), and then land back in Newark Bay. Total time about 12-15 minutes. This, when he actually didn't have charters to do (he did those as well). He did it in a Cessna 172. He was really a fantastic person. He gave me free rides (I'd sit in the back when another family would be paying).
It turns out he was a B-29 pilot in WW2 and had a bunch of pictures. It was fantastic to see.
