Perhaps the greatest video clip ever made!

I am not sure Napoleon was ever really himself after the Russian campaign. What he expected after his victory at Borodino and what really turned out was very different. Expecting the Russians to surrender only having them chase him all the way back to France may have put some doubt in his mind. Maybe that doubt is what affected his decisions at a place like Waterloo. I know in sports that if you loose your confidence it can be hard to get back. I imagine the same could be said about war generals. Just a thought. Enjoyed the post.

@Gargantua:

It’s basically pay as you go…

$600 or so for ground school (About 40 to 60 hours)  then you pay to rent the plane ($100 to $150 per flying hour)  you’ll need an instructor for atleast 15 hours…  who is also $50 an hour in the air, and $50 an hour pre flight.

So each session in the beginning is about $300… but as you progress, it gets cheaper.

The cool thing about renting a plane is you only pay for the hours it’s actually running/flying. (To an extent) so say you want to do a day trip, a 1 hour flight there 1 hour back, it’s only $300 + gas, which is roughly equivelant to car gas, except you cover WAY more ground.

Then there are all the medical permits etc etc, $50 here, $100 there… but you get it all done as you can! :D

Commericial pilot is a different deal… and if you want to be an astronaut, you HAVE to atleast have your pilots license.

A pilot license is the drivers license of the next century IMO!

I see. Well, it is something I do want to do. Good thing is, I am young and do have some time to spend doing it.

With which undoubted certainty - completely sums every corner of my character. Consider yourself fortunate to have been graced by it.

All we need now is a picture of some Pacific flora.

At the age i thought you were thinking of non-specific things to opportunity~ 
But in that I grasp we’re of consequence here I desire altogether jubilant :)

I absolutely love the look. Sudden, streetwise, complicated, if a insignificant taste insolent(nothing wrong with that), something I would rub off last .

Ah come on!

Little Indian kid dancing with crazy grin to a tape of some old disco song his dad keeps turn on and off… then they start talking like alvin and the chipmunks and lastly he puffs  a drag on a marboro… what more can you ask for?

That kid could have a show on comedy central.

Under the Bismarck sortie the BC Prince of Whales should have been finished off and the 2 ships together made way for Brest. Then waited for Tirpitz to come out along with Scharnhorst and Gneisenau (spelling). Those 4 BB would have been something to behold. The admiralty would have been in stiches. Most of her capital ships were on convoy escort in many locations and the Germans had the advantage of deciding to focus on a single point of there choosing.

This is about 5 minutes of color footage from WW2 aircraft.  Some of it is in action, some looks to be training.  Check it out, was pretty interesting:
