I need to learn to identify the bigger military cargo aircraft, I live in the slight path of Andrews so we get a lot of low flyers. (at least AF1 is easy to identify...)
1950's Driver Ed?
It’s that time of year again.
Ive been having delusions of grandeur regarding the build of a hemtt military vehicle with a camper on the back lately. I'll likely never go through with it but if I did it would not win the dakar rally at all. 
The upside is that they can be had unbelievably cheap (I saw one go for $3500!). The downside is that they get 2mpg, have 105' turning radius, and the 52" tires weigh like 700lbs ea.

He's lucky not to have a parking ticket for the chunk of LEM he left behind.

What happened to the Captain? Demoted, thrown out, prevented from flying?
I don't honestly know. I am just assuming that crashing's not much of a resumé builder.

Maybe the new name, PC Carbine instead of PC9, is foreshadowing of a variety of calibers, not just 9mm? 10mm has become more popular and a little more mainstream in the last few years, but I'd expect to see a .45 ACP and a .40 S&W option before a 10mm, if there even is an option.
I've kind of wanted, or tried to talk myself into wanting a Sub 2000 for a few years, but that's a homely looking gun, and it's a Kel-Tec. The gen 2s are a little better looking, with some nicer features, but still leaves a lot to be desired, and again Kel-Tec. The PC Carbine doesn't fold in half like the Sub 2K, but does separate in two, is a much better looking gun, gives you some magazine flexibility like the Sub 2K, though with the Sub 2K you have to decide what mags you want to use and purchase that version, there's no interchangeable magwell, and finally the PC Carbine is a Ruger.
I've been half-ass collecting stuff to build an AR-9, but I think I rather have this Ruger, than another AR.
Here's the old PC9 version:
looks like my old sears 6C...that blew up in my face
