  1. Well lo and behold... I head down the hill into Lake Havasu City and spot a large silver wingspan at the North end of the airport. The B-17 Sentimental Journey is selling rides in conjunction with a static aircraft display. The Wall is in town for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial day on Sunday.

  2. A couple of years ago a B17 came here on a fundraiser, maybe Veterans day or Memorial day too. IIRC for $5 each wife and I got to climb up inside. Dang it is small in there.

    Our house is about a mile from the airport and sits about 200ft above. Lots of military a/c come and go or do touch and goes.

    Edit, we have Lindberg field's old tower.

  3. Tonight's Spam recipe

    I used bacon Spam, Noh Hawaiian style curry mix, canned potatoes, frozen veggie mix of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower.

    In a wok, dollup of oil, brown Spam. Add potatoes and veggies, 1 cup water. Cover and simmer till veggies thaw. Add mix and water in separate pan. Stir and boil till thick. Pour curry over Spam mix. Stir and boil until sauce thickens.

    Serve with rice. For plate lunch, add potato or mac salad. Should serve 4 if you fill up on rice.

  4. Ya know we're nuts when we run outside from the sounds of aircraft, lol.

    My wife was born in Elmhurst as Glen Ellen didn't have a hospital.

    I grew up in the flight path of Willow Run, MI and remember those old four engine prop monsters shaking the house late at night.

    We currently live near our airport and get visits by military craft such as C130s, C17s, Blackhawks and such. The Cs do touch and go's. I recently ran out when I heard a group of helos taking off and heading toward the house. Too cool.

    But I don't know the answer to your question.

  5. I like SPAM sliced about 1/4" and pan fried. As mentioned, good sandwich in a pinch.

    Also like Tabasco SPAM, Smoked SPAM, don't recall seeing the Bacon flavour.

    Canned corned beef recipe from my Dutch Indo friends, fry diced bacon and onions, throw in corned beef, when done add cooked white rice (plenty) and the sweet syrupy soya sauce. Optional is the Thai sweet red pepper sauce (syrupy stuff for chicken).
