I didn’t think we would ever get that boat out of the water. All worked out in the end. Insurance gave him a nice pay off , new boat on the water Saturday! Did the bellows let go ? Looks like he picked up a cool Baja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a couple pictures of the Top Gun that sunk after they had pulled it out of the water and it had two holes on the port side at or just below the waterline…not sure how that would happen.🤔 Edited September 5, 2022 by Jimmy Snacks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the rain we got allowed it to sink low enough it started taking in water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) This was a boat accident in town about a month ago. The power boat hit the paddle wheel and then fled the scene. They found the boat the next day and the driver turned himself in 2 days later. In a strange twist the paddle wheel head over to the marina that is owner by the guy that owned the power boat because some of the passengers where injured. Rumor around town is there was officials from the DA's office on board the power boat and nobody called in the accident. The investigation was turned over to the state last week.

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted September 6, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 6, 2022 🇺🇲WWII uncovered: James Maitland Stewart: Decorated Pilot Flies 20 Combat Missions Over Germany "James Maitland Stewart, of Indiana Pennsylvania, had over 400 flight hours as a civilian pilot when he enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1941, and became an instructor for both the B-17 and B-24. He was 33 years old." According to the National Aviation Hall of Fame: "In November 1943, Stewart was sent to England as Operations Officer for the 703rd Squadron, 445th Bombardment Group of the Eighth Air Force, transferring to the 453rd Bombardment Group in March 1944. Then Major Stewart flew 20 dangerous combat missions as a B-24 command pilot, wing commander or squadron commander, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters, The Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, and the French Croix de Guerre with Palm." (Source: National Aviation Hall of Fame) Colonel Stewart remained in the US Air Force Reserve and was promoted to Brigadier General in 1959. During his two weeks of active duty in 1966 Stewart requested a combat assignment, and he was duly sent on an inspection tour of Vietnam, where his stepson, 1Lt Ronald McLean, had recently been fatally wounded at the age of 24. Stewart insisted on participating in a strike against VC targets, flying a mission at the controls of B-52F 57-0149. After 27 years of service, James retired in 1968 and was awarded the United States Air Force Distinguished Service Medal. Stewart rose from Private to Colonel in just four years. After the war James returned to his acting career. James passed away on July 2, 1997 at the age of 89 in Beverly Hills California. Over 3,000 were in attendance during his memorial service with full military honors. He lies in rest at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale California. As a lifelong advocate for aviators James Stewart has rightfully earned his place in the National Aviation Hall of Fame.

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted September 12, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 12, 2022 It is with deep sadness that we share with you all the passing of World War Two veteran Jim “Pee Wee” Martin. As a member of the 101st Airborne Division, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Martin jumped during D-Day in Normandy, fought in Operation Market Garden and was part of the defense of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Martin gave some advice for living a long, fulfilling life: “We take life for granted but every day is precious. It’s a gift from somebody. Don’t use your life to try to get ahead. Use it to make other people happy. Always be optimistic. When you’re always optimistic you’re going to enjoy life a great deal more,” he said. (source: WHIOTV). Gone but never forgotten. Rest In Peace, Jim “Pee Wee” Martin 🥀 📸 Picture: I had the honor to interview Jim Martin after his parachute jump over Eerde/Schijndel in 2019. No relation but RIP Mr. Martin 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
