I'll gladly admit to the latter but not the former

Just confirming I'm still alive, and the proud owner of a Doctor Who scarf

I might as well show you the pale ghost of NSW I look rather smug in that pic, don't I?

Nah, just goofy.
Not that I have anything to brag about. Speaking of which...

So, do we have a picture from you?

I don't take any pictures really. There aren't many that exist outside family albums. There's only two that I know of that are posted online. I'd have to do some digging to find a good picture of me.
I'll post one of my favorites of me though. This was from one of my favorite days of all time...The September Cape Girardeau Airport Open House... That's me in the back. I loved that thing. A Gyrocopter company came out and gave rides. Once we got off the ground, the pilot asked me if I wanted a go. So, I flew that thing for about 30 minutes.

Cool enough. I just thought that if one is going to comment on someone's picture one should give an equal chance. Cell phones work.
Still, that is a cool shot and I envy you a little. I've taken lots of rides in lots of vehicles, but never a gyrocopter.

Actually, he's so pathetic that his hand snapped off when I tried to put a weapon in it

You missed the "Motorcycle of the Air"....the Gyrocopter.... If you ever get a chance to go up in one...take it... As you can see, I'm a tall guy. I was slouching in that picture. I had to duck down to get behind that little windscreen. It was probably one of the top 3 things I've ever done. I loved it. I didn't have any instruments in the back seat but there was the stick and the throttle. I had fun. At one point, over the Mississippi River, I peeked over the pilot into the front seat to see the instruments. We were some 1500 feet over the river. It was AWESOME!!! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Hell...If you gave me a choice between the girl I like and flight...I'd go running to the aircraft smiling like a little kid in a candy store.... (After maybe sneaking a solution to the other choice when you aren't looking.... ) The Air Show is coming back to that airport this summer...I can't wait. Last time they had the Air Show here I got all the Blue Angels Autographs, but, I missed the A-10 Warthog flights they had going on. I got the A-10 Pilot's autograph though. This summer, there is supposedly going to be a B-25, TBM Avenger, and L-3 coming along with all the usual awesome flight stuff. I actually was looking into Flight School earlier today. (EXPENSIVE!!!! And you thought car gas was bad...the cheapest fuel at my local airport is $5.34 a gallon. Plus the cost of training, insurance, the plane, space at the airport, etc...)There's a local college with a great Aviation program and I'm thinking that if the Air Force doesn't work for me I'll go to college and be a pilot. That, or the Army... Quote:
I always liked Spartan Armor. My favorite was the E.V.A Armor from Halo 3 and Halo Reach.

I don't question your enthusiasm, especially since it does look like a lot of fun. Just the comparison. I have been up in an ultralight, and I have flown a hang glider. Also fun.
