Re: Introduction-Kenn

Although, I gotta tell this story. :) Same bunch of smart dudes, right? The lab has a 30mm cannon that's used to blow holes in aircraft parts. Battle damage to see how the parts react...wings, tails, canopies...that sort of thing. Next to this cannon is a "chicken gun." It literally shoots...

Re: Introduction-Kenn

They're some smart dudes... :) Modern times. I'd read an article about how archeologists are using a tech called Lidar (think: radar or sonar, only using a laser). If you've used a laser to measure a room, it's the same principle. In this case, they're mapping the ground terrain in the Yucatan and H...

Introduction-Kenn

Let me begin by thanking all of you. None of you ever receives the thanks you deserve. I've been retired from the Air Force now for longer than I served, which seems strange.
