Coming from a guy who use to own a pretty nice 'stang, I know how that goes. Like any other hobby, you get attached. Whether it takes away from the appearance or operation of that item, you are still anal about it, just like firearms go. Then, one day, someones negligence takes away everything you had worked for and worked on.

It sucks...

Nothing personal, or against having nice things, I'm there too, but it all just reminds me of....

That reminded me of the MCAS El Toro air show crash... a 1950's Mig and US fighter had a mock Dog Fight routine....
One sunday, one place was down, so the other flew acrobatics.... It made a loop starting at maybe 50 feet and went right into the ground..... #Fireball

I was stationed at El Toro when the F-18 crashed. Slapped down on its belly sliding across the airfield. Fortunately, the pilot survived, but his career was over.

Saw the mig crash the year before the f-18 crash. Mig pilot had faked his air show credentials as a low altitude rated performer. He made a distinctly egg shaped loop because he didn't pull back the power on the downhill.

2014 Nat Geo Traveler Photo Contest Winners

While on storm chasing expeditions in the Tornado Alley in USA I have encountered many photogenic supercell storms. This photograph was taken while we were approaching the storm near Julesburg, Colorado on My 28th, 2013. The storm was tornado warned for more than one hour, but stayed an LP storm through all its cycles and never produced a tornado, just occasional brief funnels, large hail and some rain. Location: Julesburg, Colorado, USA

This photo was captured at noon, 25.12.2013, from the castle which is located on the edge of the small town and is the perfect viewpoint for the panorama of the almost intact historical town. The fog and mist suffused and gave the town a sense of mystery. Location: Český Krumlov, South Bohemian, Czech Republic

This photo, of Moussa Macher, our Touareg guide, was taken at the summit of Tin-Merzouga, the largest dune (or erg) in the Tadrat region of the Sahara desert in southern Algeria. Moussa rested while waiting for us to finish our 45 minute struggle to the top. It only took 10 minutes of rolling, running and jumping to get to get back down. The Tadrat is part of the Tassili N’Ajjer National Park World Heritage Area, famous for its red sand, and engravings and rock paintings of cattle, elephants, giraffes and rhinos that lived there when the climate was milder. Location: Summit of Tin-Merzouga, Tadrat, Tassili N’Ajjer National Park, Algeria

While exploring Burough Market in London, I was delighted to come across four lovely young women dressed in vintage white dresses, eating ice cream as the local shopkeeper looked on. Are they brides? Or bridesmaids. I don’t know, but they are obviously enjoying a very special day. Location: Burough Market, London, England

On arrival at Jonathan’s Lodge our horses took to celebrating liberation from their heavy burdens. With the backdrop of “The Devil’s Knuckles” and the afternoons glow how could i not take advantage of these magnificent creatures rejoicing in the afternoons glow . This was the end of the first of a three day horse back ride through Bushman’s Nek, up the Drakensberg escarpment and into Lesothos’ Sehlabathebe National Park. Location: Jonathans Lodge, Qachas Nek, Sehlabathebe National Park, Lesotho
