USS Macon & Sparrowhawks

Alright, before any of you wisenheimers make any snarky remarks about my age, no I am not THAT old and the sound track isn't a personal favorite of mine!

I will openly admit that I enjoy history and I if I had access to the Way Back machine I'd jump at the chance to see these aircraft in action first hand. Imagine being a crew member on the USS Macon and enjoying the rare privilege of observing the airplanes departing and being recovered. Remarkable technology for the 1930s and a testament to American ingenuity!

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
