  1. Just one small point: fuel vapours are indeed a hazard, and have been known about for years. Most military aircraft get refuelled - to some degree - when shutting down for the day. We used to do this with MB-326H Macchi jets at 2FTS, RAAF Base Pearce, in the 70s / 80s. Same with the Seahawk aircraft operated by the RAN (except there you don't want to over-fill the aircraft, making it too heavy for the planned sortie and therefore having to be de-fuelled). You want to avoid vapour as much as you can. Have a look around and you'll see a lot of aircraft these days have systems that replace the empty space in fuel tanks with nitrogen as the fuel is burnt down. Cheers!
  2. Vale Michael Collins, Command Module Pilot, Apollo 11.
  3. Have people's opinions been changed but Trump's actions over the last few months?
  4. Hi Bobbyjack - hope you find your time here worthwhile. Do any collecting of aviation-related military items?
  5. Hi David - welcome, and hope you enjoy your time here.
  6. Fetzer has been sued for his claims that Sandy Hook was a 'fake'. His co-author has settled but Fetzer is going to appeal the award of USD$450,000 against him. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50074652 People warned Jim he was going off the rails but he wouldn't listen....
  7. History Guy is a great resource; I watch it pretty regularly.
  8. My American friends - why are you doing this to yourself? Why aren't you at least having a high-level discussion on taking some measure to stop all these mass shooting? You don't have to outlaw all weapons but why do people need semi-automatic rifles? If it is recreational then have the weapons stored securely at a range. The answer to the gun problem is NOT more guns!
  9. He's very good at not telling the truth: https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/04/29/president-trump-has-made-more-than-false-or-misleading-claims/?utm_term=.eab916969884 https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2019/how-the-washington-post-tallied-more-than-10000-trump-falsehoods-in-less-than-three-years/
  10. Link to thread in the Watergate section of the board:
  11. Someone on another forum I am debating regarding Apollo claims that "Basically, just about everything to do with Watergate was in fact a cover-up of the Apollo cover-up." Since I know almost nothing about Watergate, I'd like forum input to this. Thanks!
  12. https://www.smh.com.au/federal-election-2019/clive-palmer-forced-to-sack-9-11-conspiracy-theorist-candidate-20190509-p51lpa.html For the non-Australians, Clive Palmer is an Australian businessman (and i use the term loosely) who is using the Trump model (Make Australia Great!) to try and win seats.
  13. Another USD$100 towards the goal. I rarely visit nowadays but it is worth keeping alive for others.
