Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

So I just spent an hour watching this and am totally blown away!

Absolutely brilliant effort. Historians, craftsmen and the vision of the Confederate Air Force (not to mention the willingness of the folks at Turbo Conversions to sell the plane for restoration...). Just so much amazing stuff in this video.

Not the least of which is some folks up in Wisconsin who are totally hands-on and capable of such incredible work.

Thanks for posting, Ichi! This made my day and I forwarded it to a ton of my fellow historians and 'mechanic' friends! Gives us all inspiration to 'be more like these guys!' Amazing!

Cheers,

Sirhr

Note that on my MRAD (the same one from The infamous "Someone Boomer'd an MRAD" meme) I had to raise the scope considerably with blocks on the pic. rail.

So you can definitely do it.

SN-9's do show up! I got super lucky on this one. But they eiterh have crazy prices on them... or really low prices on them. Doesn't seem to be a specific market value. They are so application specific... and Prism's are now the state of the art... they are a vintage novelty now.

Doesn't mean they aren't super cool!
