Netflix launches Thunderbirds doc The new Netflix documentary film “Air Force Elite: The Thunderbirds”, focusing on the famed Air Force flight demonstration team, debuted May 25. It was produced by Michelle and Barrack Obama. The film explores what happens behind the scenes of the team and what it takes to make the cut and earn a spot on the squad. The unit performs 75 demonstrations every year between March and November. The team consists of eight pilots who serve two-year terms and 130 enlisted airmen who serve for 3-4 years. The film focuses on pilots who are new to the Thunderbirds as they train to meet their certification deadline before the start of the 2023 demonstration season.

Follow-up To Headlight Help Q: Lowell replied: I checked circuit 16 (light switch to dimmer) and there was no power. I connected circuit 16 to circuit 17 (dimmer to headlights) and there were no headlights. I installed a new dimmer switch and hooked all of the circuits up as they are supposed to be. No headlights. As I see it, the problem is in the wire (#16) from the switch to the dimmer. Do you have any other ideas? Again, it sounds as if you have logically traced the problem. A: Have you tried running a hot wire to the dimmer switch to see if that gives you headlights? If doing that does give you lights, then it would seem you’re not getting power from the light switch to the…

After attending this year’s Ohio Valley Military Society’s Show Of Shows (SOS), I very much felt the need to quote Grammy Award-winning singer Chappell Roan: “You know I hate to say, BUT I TOLD YOU SO.” SOS was great and kudos to the OVMS for putting on another excellent show. But now I need to remind readers that it was about a year ago that I warned that our hobby really isn’t all that important in the big picture and our behavior at shows big and small can jeopardize its future. In the year since I wrote that two things happened. First, Roan became a huge pop star, and more importantly, we were found out that next year’s SOS would take place at the end of January. The show was…

This year marks the 21st anniversary of a one-day historic military vehicle show that was established at Haselbury Mill, a hospitality venue, located at Haselbury Plucknett, near the town of Crewkerne, surrounded by Somerset countryside in the southwest of England. The man behind the idea of creating the event was Roy Gallina, a military vehicle owner who is still very active on the circuit of military shows. At the time Gallina was a member of one of the largest organizations in the country for military vehicle owners, but for various reason he became disenchanted with the group and decided to make a change. Fifteen years after establishing the event at Haselbury Mill, Gallina and a group of other like-minded military vehicle owners set about creating their own, independent group. The…

During medieval times, a limited number of people in Germany had practiced a living by fishing or gathering the waterways’ bounty. Many in inland communities lost the ability and motivation to swim, with some areas even outlawing swimming as a way to prevent the frequent drownings of those who ventured too close to the edge of a pond or river. In the 19th century, the “Haloren”, salt miners from the Halle area, taught their children how to swim, setting an example to others in their community. As learning of the sport and lifesaving techniques spread, swimming in Germany became an enjoyable pastime for those lucky enough to live near the ocean beaches, or numerous lakes and rivers. River bathing establishments were set up in the 1800s that provided separate sectioned…
