What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Brook(ie) and Brown trout are fairly common throughout the country. They truly so have some rare species in Yellowstone though. When the mountain streams move and dry up, it creates unique gene pools and breeding pools which is where the golden trout came from. The fish are secluded from other species for many years creating the uniqueness in the characteristics. If they add in the brown trout again, they would all turn brown again.
It may be due to hot spring activity too, I can't remember if Yellowstone has mountains.

 

Those big planes look unreal when the do that. Doesn't seem that something that big should be able to go that slow and stay up in the air where it belongs.

Looks like they have been doing some C-130 training flights in your area (FB page, scroll to second post to see story and video). I know we had the C-130 training flights over at Pease the other day and someone posted pics of touch and goes on FB.

 

We see C-130's flying over our place frequently. They use the airport in La Crosse for touch and go training. Most of the time they are flying 3 planes.

 

C130 planes and a Chinook choppah?

 

Very good pictures.

 

More stumping and tree cleanup today. This is from Yesterday, I think. Tomorrow I hope to redo the leach field. Then finish everything by back dragging and then using the landscape rake. If all goes well we hope to be planting new grass seed Sunday.

While I was cutting up top x amount of years ago, I heard this noise that I had never heard before which I think was the C130 creeping along.

It wasn't much above the tree tops and if I remember, it made a rumbling noise. I'm not sure if it came from Syracuse or Fort Drum but it seemed like it moving real slow.

 

I've been buzzed right over the treetops by a couple A10 warthogs. Not the size of c130, but mega impressive. Not something I'll ever forget. This was at my cousin's farm which is very close to fort McCoy in western Wisconsin.

 

I was well acquainted with both those aircraft when I was a medic in Viet Nam. We unloaded the wounded brought in to us for triage and air evacuation. We brought in the wounded during the day, then at night we boarded them on the C130 and other air craft for evacuation. Those on the C 130 were mostly headed down country from DaNang. We loaded the wounded on litters 3 high. The walking wounded were seated. We also had jets with portable ICU cubical on them for the critically wounded. We generally had 60 but up to 120 pass through on any given day. Never in my life had I seen so many broken lives. Some things you just can't scrub clean from your memory. Anyway, yes those are fantastic aircraft. So are those who flew and maintained those aircraft. Those chinooks are really big. The C-130s are real work horses.

 

c130 and C5a used to to do touch and god at Burlington as back up Plattsburgh AFB

 

Thanks for your service there savemoney My best man was killed in Nam, June 13, 1969. We named our second son after him.

 

Milled 15 logs today. I'm wicked tired. A few of my favorite slabs. Cherry and poplar.

 

Removed green boat from trailer, swapped engine and controls from green boat to blue boat along with a brand new steering system, new floor, also made 2 trips to the dump, a short drive and an hour or so walk, and painted my fence posts (plus a little more of the garage with what was left). Not a bad days work.

 

Nice! That's a hobby I'd like to get into.

 

Mowed lawns, put mulch around trees and bushes. Wife stained trim around garage doors. Temps are 58 and pleasant

 

Of all places, there used to be an A-10 base in Myrtle Beach SC. Watching warthogs on the beach. My parents live outside Ft Bragg. C-130’s and howitzers booming where common when I lived there.
Reliving the 80’s in this post. In 89 I was living in the mountains and working on a Xmas tree farm and 2 B1’s flew over super low. It was surreal and freaking awesome at the same time. It didn’t seem like they were 100’ overhead. Wow
My oldest son works on Harriers at Cherry Point. He says they are kept flying from salvaged parts. There’s an air station next to Camp Lejeune that has F-18’s. It’s pretty cool to see those take off.
