My name is Robert Scott. I just bought a CMP P-40 1.40 ARF. Today, February 27, is my birthday.
Today, ace fighter pilot and multiple-medal-winner General Robert Scott died at age 92. He is best known for flying a P-40 in China with the AVG Flying Tigers.`
None of this means a thing, but it seemed a little interesting to me. :-)

Bob:
Is there anyone who hasn't read and loved "God is My Copilot"? That book was the subject of my first book report, and I still have that very book on my shelf. I hope my grandson will read it soon.
By the way, the subject of my second book report was "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo". I wonder how many other guys born in the 40's treasured those two books. (That one fell apart about ten years ago.)
Thanks for that news item, Bob.

The occult.
Hmmm... I used to listen to a lot of Blue Oyster Cult, but as far as the occult goes, I don't dabble in it. :-)

You don't need to, Bob. It will dabble with you.

The guy's been dead for 30 years? Is CNN airing reports of his death for lack of any "factual" news out of the Middle East?
and I thought it was SERLING....
"The OTHER Kevin in San Diego" wrote in message news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com...
It is Serling... my typo. And that's no biggie compared to: DIED IN
1975?!?!?!?I must truly be in the Twilight Zone. Did I confuse him with Don Knotts?
Never mind, desmobob
Yeah, little error in timing there. :)
lol.. The image of Barney Fife saying, "....in the twilight zone" cracks me up.
