F-4 Phantom: The Original Top Gun Fighter Jet

Very good video production wise – excellent story telling – and the subject matter – the F-4 Phantom? – Oh Hell Yes! – this is GOOD stuff here folks!!

At 1 hour and 45 minutes – it’s a rather long video – but – the last 20 minutes or so makes it well YOUR time . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Saturday Matinee – “Thud Pilots” / The Full Movie

Pretty much the movie version of the book “Thud Ridge” – which if you ever find a copy of – grab it and enjoy the read!

The F-105 was basically an afterburner equipped B-52 engine with a set of wings added – the nickname “Thud” came from the sound of them hitting the ground in Viet Nam . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

RTL-SDR on MY Phone?!?

Yes – on your phone – in your pocket – way cool stuff . . .

Android installs are a lot simpler than pc installs – I actually would like to put a post together for you folks showing the process – the hardest part is getting screenshot pics with the phone while I’m installing the software on that phone – and making an understandable dialog to go with it – kinda like don’t listen to what I say – listen to what I mean sorta thing – LMAO!

Check out SDR-RTL.COM – that will really get you started – explore the site – the one thing I hope you take away from it – other than the fact that sdr dongles are way cool, cheap, and easy fun?

That one thing??

There is quite a problem with imitation or counterfeit dongles. There is a world of difference – performance wise – between real and fake – if you are going to purchase through amazonia go here to the RTL-SDR’s “store” website and click through the links on their page so you know what you are buying is real . . .

If – and it is a big if – I can get with Greg to put together a step by step tutorial that I can post here – saves you from going back and forth through a YouTube video – it a complete hoot – you can listen to am / fm / longwave / medium wave / shortwave / usb / lsb – essentially you have an incredibly high performance shortwave receiver in your pocket!

The post may not happen soon – Greg’s schedule is beyond busy – and mine is just about to go off the rails for the next 75 to 90 days – so . . . – we’ll just have to see what happens on that . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Alone, Unarmed and Unafraid – TACRECON

Having known several recon pilots over the years – unafraid? Pretty much so during the run in and during the “take” – the twitchy parts usually occurred during egress – at that point you had time to think about what you just flew through to get the “take” . . .

Hell of a way to serve the Lord – just saying . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
