the F-5 seems to be the most widely used stand-in for Russian fighters.
It seems to be the popular choice. There was one airplane movie I saw that was seemed kinda bizarre because they were fighting aircraft that were supposed to be from some Arab country, but they were distinctively IDF Kfirs. I mean they are closely related to Mirage IIIs which are operated by several Arab nations, but the canards marked them as Kfirs and . . .
I'm letting my aircraft geekitude show a little too clearly I think.
Edited because I made it sound like Kfirs were operated by several Arab nations and I meant Mirage IIIs.
Heh. Teppy, I was hesitant even making that reference, knowing your hatred of
Magnolia....
Timelies all!
This weekend?
Tonight is the FSGW open sing (topic: mystery, magic and mumbo jumbo)
Tomorrow night we see Jimmy Buffet at Nissan Pavilion
Sunday night we take G's dad out to dinner for his birthday.
Otherwise, watch stuff on the Tivo and DVD.
This weekend: um, not much. Read, clean my apartment, bake challah, possibly bake other bread, do laundry.
I want to make hot and sour soup (after having some to help me get over the ick this week) but that will mean a trip to Chinatown so it may be more than I can manage this weekend.
I'm pretty sure I have enough love for
Magnolia
to cancel out the hatiest of Teppy's hate.
Although, does that mean that on average we are both completely indifferent to it?
Weekend: tonight is the gaymer meet-and-greet for PAX.
Tomorrow is 6 hours of D&D, then Jilli and I are attending a biiiiiiiig industry bash thrown by CCP/White Wolf. It's a themed vampire ball. Woot!
Sunday: recover from Saturday.
Tonight, cleaning like a mofo.
Tomorrow: Bus to parent's house. (Note to self: Make sure iPod is fully charged.)
I am on vacation all week. My original plan was to visit my parents until Wednesday or Thursday, then chill back at home for a few days. However my parents have decided to come back with me, so my dad can visit my aunt, who isn't feeling well. That's fine, but I have a massage scheduled for one day, a hair appt scheduled for another...I've got stuff planned. They're going to think I'm some kind of pampered princess!
I was also hoping that my oil tank could be installed on Thursday or Friday, but it looks like that won't be possible.
In good news, I bought a flea comb after work and found nothing on the cats. I also checked my mattress and pillows and can't see signs of anything,
except my drooling habit.
I am washing all my bedding nonetheless. Some of it needed to be washed for my parents' visit anyway.
The commander of the shuttle to repair Hubble was the guy who did the flying for Top Gun.
Half in my swimsuit, going to finish my peach and go make a first attempt.
