Really good, my grandfather especially. I just recently shared a few boxes of pizza with him. He had to drink water, or soda due to his meds. Funny thing though, he snuck a few sips of beer. Far be it from me to tell a WWII Vet "NO". After all the man is one of my heros.

Nice! Good to see Duds. Speaking of WW2. You are lucky to have a wealth of info to tap about that time in us history. Many things I regret not asking my grandmom about that time period.

I do feel lucky not only that I get to spend time with him but more importantly that he beat that damned cancer ( So far anyway).

I remember he told me when they did bomb runs that one time a bomb got hung up and he literally had to go down and kick the bomb loose.

Good for you bro, glad to see there are some people left in the world that believe in working for the check rather than walking to the mail box.

Lazy rascals. Have some self pride, earn a check.

Wild! I still to this day don't know what sets a bomb off. Is it impact ? (Obviously) but I know they don't go off on ground with a bump. I wonder if a trigger so to speak arms it AFTER the initial drop.

Well, I know for fact that the bomb he kicked loose was armed before he kicked it loose.

As for today, as far as I know, if you fly jets they are armed from the cockpit and detonate on impact as you stated.

Beastly.

Yeah, they are laser guided. If you ever get a chance, look up Taps during desert storm. They had soldiers on the ground manually lighting up targets for helos with Gatlin guns. Laser precision.
