Years back, I helped my in-laws clean out the home of a friend of theirs that had passed away. He was pilot in the Air Force during WWII. After the war he got involved in the Air Craft production industry, at at one time even gave Howard Hughes flying lessons. Here's a photo I snagged during the estate clean out, that shows Howard Hughes standing on a workbench, addressing a group of people. Don't know much more about this.

My dad circa 1942, age 16.
With 2 older brothers and a sister off to war all the farm upkeep was up to him and his 14 and 11 year old brothers.
Tough times made tough people, toughest guy I ever knew.
See the short cane in his right hand, I still have it.

why are you interacting with the faceberg so much lately?
Are you falling victim to the cult of propaganda?

I think I can speak for about half the forum when I say that we love you enough that we don't want you to kill yourself in that particularly sick and depraved manner.

It's still a good source for rusty stuff and cat videos.

For the rest of stuff, Twitter is much better :flipoff2:
