Thank you so much for your service, BigAstroFan. Isn't that aircraft (the photo near your messages) called a "Warthog?" I went to a great air show back in 1988 at what used to be Stewart Field (Newburgh, NY) and I remember that distinctive engine mounted near the tail (there were two, if I recall correctly). They also had a Hawker Harrier demonstrate a completely vertical takeoff (talk about LOUD!), and I did a walk-through a C5A Galaxy. I grew up near there, and we always had wild looking military aircraft zooming overhead (and sonic booms in the middle of the night!). I'm also near the infamous Pine Bush - home of UFO's (but I think they're military experimental things!). Love flying things . .. birds, rockets, jets, Astro Boy! :lol:

I chose my avatar because I've had a printout of it hanging in my office at work for about six months, and there's not a day goes by that I don't look at it and smile.

Astro Boy is all about the best in us and looking at him zooming through the clouds with that confident, contented face just makes me feel darn good, so I wanted to share that every time I post!

:astro: = :heart:

Now thats a good reason :) Very true.

Mine? Well, its a cute picture of the boy, I do always love when he shows curiosity. The 03 series did it great when he wasn't quite sure what was going on or looked out of the loop.

Yes it is. People call it ugly. But I think it looks cool. i worked on the KC-135 as well as the FB-111. I'm sorry I didn't continue with working on aircraft after I separated from the Air Force. I have some pictures of some of the planes I worked on. Maybe I'll post them some place soon .

I chose my Avatar because my User name is Uran&Astro1980, Very simple right?
And I also chose my Avatar as Astro and Uran because i like the 1980's series. :)
