Hey Baton Rouge and New Orleans folks, I think we’re ready to start looking for a home for Patches. He’s a sweet little guy, neutered, got his rabies and FeLV shots, and he’s a big fan of inside life. He’s FIV+, but I think he can be integrated with FIV- cats with training and supervision.

Guys, I need a dark, cavernous coffee shop or bookstore/coffee shop combo to lurk around in and read and journal moodily. Do these even exist anymore?

I think I'd get along a little bit better in society if I wasn't such a contrarian.

Mom always referred to it as Persia and Iraq was Mesopotamia.

In the 1930s, steps began to be taken by Reza Shah to formalise the change in name from Persia to Iran, and the request came into force in March 1935. The British requested to continue to use Persia.

Anyone who would ask, “But if we do that, won’t the xxxxx just yyyyy?” got DOGE’d…

Look at this peach.

Iranian F-4E taking off. Three color camo on upper surfaces, off white underside, Phantom shark nose wrap around on the Vulcan cannon.

Posting on #PhantomPhriday, knowing that the Iranian Heritage Flight is most likely defunct.

(This may most likely be an AI product, but I couldn't say why.)

However, no well deck.

All equipment and Marines went “over the side”.

Vehicles lifted into LCUs by deck mounted hoists, and Marines climbing down cargo nets.

So yeah, I’m the old dude in the rocking chair telling you about tying an onion to my belt in a sock.

Starting to re-read Moorehead’s ‘Gallipoli’ today.

I’m hoping it will be a good starting point on the study of using amphibious forces to secure a choke-point shipping strait to decide naval dominance in a region.

As I understand things, the operation was a focus for 1930s Marine Corps leaders.

An airplane flying at 12,000 feet in 1919

Bridgeport, Conn., Telegram

March 7, 1926: An organization has been founded in Berlin to study the feasibility of flying aircraft at altitudes of 6 to 7 miles, thus avoiding weather systems that hamper speed. The group envisions planes that will exceed 270 mph and fly from Hamburg to New York in 12 hours.

does anyone have a good source on Soviet construction aid for Haiphong harbor pre 1965?

Happy Saturday from Silas! 👅😄

#OnThisDay (more or less): Between 1 and 15 March 1951, the 23e Groupe Aérien d'Observation d'Artillerie (23e GAOA) based out of Hanoi. These artillery spotters flew the Morane M.S. 500, a derivative of the German Fieseler Fi 156 Storch.

March 7, 1926: The first test of a radio telephone service between New York and London is made by journalists speaking to each other 3,500 miles apart. “What’s it like in London?” is the first bit of chit-chat, followed by “Not so bad for us, what about New York?” 1/2

I understand you.

An event that was burned into the consciousness of a generation of Aussies, Kiwis, and Turks.
