OK folks – there’s our side:
…And, well, their’s…sitting around all pretty like static displays 
Hmm, might be seein’ one of these again in the near future…just, sayin‘, you know…

Your humble scribe is on travel this week, gov’mint business and all, out in the land of real mountains. Posting may or may not be spotty (non-specific enough? There’s plausible deniability for you), so here are a couple of items from around the blogsphere to chew on. Fear not, Flightdeck Friday is not in jeopardy……
( For all who chipped either effort or money or both at the fund drive for Valour-IT, this is the result of your dedication to supporting our troops and, in this case, the sailors in particular.) Eight Sailors injured SANTA RITA, Guam (Dec. 1, 2006) – Eight Sailors assigned to the repair ship USS Frank…
(OK, confess — how many of you knew of homarus americanus without having to Google it?) Seems many these days are going EMCON Alfa (or Bravo as the case may be) whilst off in various and sundry pursuits. YHS intends to join the late summer sojourns and show some parts of the country heretofore unseen…
So Scribe – just how much fun was it swapping out formats, diddling with php and css while making those "minor" changes to the new theme? Let’s let Daffy do the talking:
As announced over at Soldier’s Angels: Calling All Angels… This is a big one! For seven years, Project Valour-IT has been supplying voice-controlled and other adaptive laptops to severely wounded heroes who need to stay connected while they recover, or who are building a new life as they transition out of the military. That’s over…
Quick note to pass along that VAJoe.com has an interview of Your Humble Scribe up at his site. Try not to laugh too hard… The rains (and oppressive humidity) have relented so with blue skies in the offing, believe it’s time to hit the roads for the mountains of WVa with the family – in…

That’s a rather cheap shot, showing the CREDITS and then complaining of a lack of action.
In any case, back over to you. I think you’re gonna have a tough time sizing up to this one…
That there’s more about Hollywood than real-life.
(And NO FAIR invoking “Bridges!!” SOME things should be Beyond The Pale…)
Well, since you all glommed on to Murdoc, OP-FOR et al, we’ve got to roll out the heavy stuff… 😛 And as for the film openings — the sequence from Bridges was part of the opening scene and for The Hunters…umm, well, they do look nice and pretty all lined up for the nice looooong take off roll (yawn) 🙂

What type of video are you using? I can’t open them or even tell what they are. It’s probably my problem with firewalls or options or something, but I figured I’d ask.
You-tube — which is more frequently being blocked by govt agencies and corporate world. One of the reasons I’ll put my stuff up over on Google video…

I suppose the Air Force crew could show a clip from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starfighters This film, starring Ace Pilot Bob Dornan, was almost as underwhelming as “Plan 9 From Outer Space”.
Go Navy!
Okay dc, now that’s just going too far! Any movie that was on MST3K is unfair.
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article w Scribe » Valour-IT Challenge: Video Face-Off, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
Daniel:
Not to worry – a lot of it was inside ball between the Air Force and Navy teams. Drop me a note offline and I’ll be glad to answer your questions 😎
