    This "Screaming Eagle" Knows His Stuff... Michigan Football and a Paratrooper?   "Loads of Fun" Distribution   This is simply incredible.   Today's diversion allows you to watch a US Army Paratrooper dive out of an aircraft to bring a football to the kick-off of a University of Michigan football game.  And he hits his target!   YOU WILL SEE THIS FROM A CAMERA LOCATED ON THE PARATROOPER'S HELMET.    I have never seen anything like it.   NOW LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE CROWD AS HE GET CLOSER TO THE STADIUM.   At the end, hang on, because you will then see what it looked like from the ground camera looking up.   This is located at the WIRED magazine website.  You must scroll down the page a little to the video once you get to the page.   Your three-minute diversion for a Monday morning from one of our beloved members in Youngstown, OH.   (We get so much good stuff from there!)   LINK...

Win Perkins, a real estate appraiser who specializes in airport properties, has posted on his web site a video he created of Charles Lindbergh's famous and risky takeoff/flight in the Spirit of   St. Louis on the competitive trip to Paris . According to Perkins, this is unlike any other presentation of the takeoff footage. Perkins said he "painstakingly assembled news footage from five cameras that filmed Lindbergh's takeoff from Roosevelt Field,   Long Island "and "mixed it with enhanced audio from the same newsreel sources."

Then watch them in order, #1 through #...

From: idahoharry@gmail.com Sternie is an active member of the JAC Hangar--The most active guy  I have ever known for his age--90+ and He is just as sharp upstairs now as He wwas when I first met him some 10-15 years ago. For those of you who have visited us in Jackson/Wilson … Clarence Stearns is a local legend … He owned and ran the Wilson Store, or "Stearnie's" for longer than I can remember … and built a little log cabin next door for his pet project.  Stearnie was a B-17 pilot, who spent a good part of the war in a German concentration camp … and when he returned to Wilson he was determined he would fly again … so started building a homebuilt amphibian in the cabin next to his store … you'd see the light burning in the cabin every night, all winter, as he struggled to stay ahead of the homebuilt company's plan changes … and then he and his wife Dodie, would take off for their cabin in Saskatchewan … where'd they'd spend all summer on a a la...
