FTFY.

What are the odds I'd meet you here, Captain Ahab?

That would be good down in Laurinburg at the old airport.

Minke whales are awesome. I was once on a 16' boston whaler in the middle of a herring ball while they were feeding around us. The difference is that they didn't try to eat us. :)

Staring at that, I don't think I've laughed so hard in days.

While we're in the spirit, some of you may remember this beauty

No hotlink I could post on the subject would be as epic as these two, so I'll just leave that little link to the training film, and await the next thread meme.

makes the ship I served on seem kinda small... well in comparison it was.. 9 8" guns instead of 9 16" guns...

The guy actually started the Gelbke Motorcycle Co and built several of these: It's called an Auto-Four and it used a BMC 1275cc (Midget etc) motor with an automatic transmission. He built something like 7 or 8. He also built something he called a Grasshopper which was powered by a Corvair flat six: Seems it's been restored but I can't find any large clear pics of the completed bike.
