Got lucky?

Well, technically, wouldn’t one hand be “Thumb Up”, unless it was said as a plural imperative?

I see 2 thumbs... Singular nouns represent only one thing, but plural nouns represent more than one.

[rideit]

Well, I said ‘one hand’, which would be thumb up.

fuck off… put that crap in the pos human thread where it belongs.

Airshow TR

Great way to create a memory for the boy.

Absolutely agree. Good stuff Brownski!

If you're ever in the area down the big lake, the Cleveland National Airshow over Labor Day Weekend is legitimately badass. I try and take my son every other year when visiting family. The show is staged from Burke Lakefront Airport and they bring out all the big guns including an air-to-air and air-to-sea battle daily over the water with big explosions and pyrotechnics.

We're lucky and head out on my brother in law's Hinkley picnic boat for the day to take in the show from the water which means swimming and lots of low flyovers from the jets (somewhere I've got a pic of a Blue Angel pilot giving the kids the thumbs-up through the canopy that's so close you can almost see the name on the helmet); but the show is just as great from land.

seriously.

My apologies. Deleted. Truly didn't mean to offend. Horrible, gruesome story. The use of a crossbow seemed upstate AF. And I was truly asking if the location was southern tier.

Fwiw, I am against the pos thread for cases where I think mental illness is at play. Somebody pointed that out and it made me think about it.

You should log the fuck off and do something, like take a fucking lap. Every fucking thread you have to be involved. Fuck off dickweed.

Do they still do the old WW1 era planes at Rhinebeck? Remember just driving by and coming upon that show years ago. It was neat, but then I heard someone crashed not long ago.

you jogged a memory. It was still open in 2013 and lo and behold, I have pics. iPhones are amazing





I went for a ride in this one. Nobody else was up for it.



Does Rhinebeck count as an Airshow? If so then I did get the boys to an Airshow while they were still little kids. It’s not really the same thing but it was cool.



Edit: still there

Speaking of air shows I looked out my office window today and saw this flying over and was like what the fuck is going on now!?!

That’s cool. Hopefully it had some training value too.

[Cisco Kid]

They ARE training. Only this time we get to look.

B29 flying around Syracuse. Heard they were selling rides

Turns out there is at least one cheap, weird ass place where they blow shit up in the field next to it for entertainment, weed store on the Tonawanda reservation. I found it Again, just driving along backwater farm roads and lo and behold, a weed store. I fkn love it I might need to spend more time in WNY, I think it's the kind of place you don't really know without a deep immersion scenario.

Yes they blew up a toaster oven while I was there.

[Cisco Kid]

I saw this before I saw Bmills post.

Boom! I left when they loaded a pressure cooker, something about flying shrapnel and buckets of weed and guns hanging on the wall and shit.... Look up Uncle Loran's Roadside Dispensary

Takes me back to the youthful days of messing around new home construction sites and blowing up glass Gatorade bottle draino bombs.

Buddy caught shrapnel in the upper lip that cut it clean from the nose down. Rode our bikes home in a hurry and told his mom he fell off on his face. Stitched up at the plastic surgeon and no worse for wear. We never told anyone. He’s a surgeon himself now so maybe it was a teaching moment; who knows.

[Timberridge]

Cool pics Brownski! 100% it counts as an airshow. When I stumbled on it they had the Red Baron Triplane and a Sopwith Camel doing a mock dogfight and it was quite cool to see those old planes zipping around the sky.

[BmillsSkier]

I can't read Sopwith Camel and not think of this Flying Ace.

[riser4]

A true hero.

Oh shit, a geographic boundary subplot has presented itself (thanks to looking at the Upstate wiki page):

"and sometimes Rochester". Lulz. I guess it depends on how deep you go with that [Western] Tip.
