Just to try and make my blog a little bit more lively, does anyone have any requests for stuff they want to see? More aviation posts or my military collection? Anything really?
Something else I do when I’m not writing MLP fanfics or being lazy, is train as aircrew to eventually fly our museum’s WWII B-25 bomber. As a student pilot, I’ve not gotten enough hours to train yet as copilot so for now I’m training as a flight engineer and navigator. For navigation, I sit in the most forward seat in the nose which is nicknamed “the greenhouse” because of all the windows which make it sweltering hot. But it always offers the best views.
One of my other hobbies I figured I’d share is that I collect old military uniforms for the purpose of restoring/preserving them. While most unfortunately don’t have names in them, the one on the far right in this picture does. It’s named to a gentleman who flew fifty missions in a B-29 Superfortress bomber over Japan as a crewman. I also help other collectors I know locate the veterans or the families of veterans who once possessed the items they have.
Our WWII TBM Avenger torpedo bomber flying over while our Jeep fires blanks at the “bogey” from a .50 caliber. The “blanks” are a mixture of oxygen and propane being burned in rapid, short bursts to replicate how it would fire if active.
I know it doesn't really fit with my blog but I really liked this picture I took while riding in an old WWII torpedo bomber that was flying in formation with a B-25J Mitchell. Thought maybe someone else would like to see it too
How many bits do you make a year?
Currently at corporal, and with the bonus from being Luna's secretary, I make about 60,000 bits a year.
• He has a bad habit of snoring really loud when he sleeps, something that sometimes keeps his coltfriend up half the night • Swing won't admit it but he is very easily bribed with Tagalong cookies from the Filly Scouts and anything with caramel in it • Even though he's a larger stallion in height and build standards, Swing likes to be held and snuggled by his smaller coltfriend when they're laying in bed • Swing is absolutely terrified of spiders, thunderstorms, and the dark and will often hide behind his coltfriend when he's scared • When he gets flustered the fur on his chest fluffs up slightly, a genetic effect from one of his parents being a pegasus • He's very easily flustered at the mere mention of something naughty or at any compliment given to him
Got to meet one of the original code talkers. He was a very nice man.
The Navajo language was chosen to code U.S. military operations because it has no written form and is almost impossible for non-native speakers to learn. After the operation was declassified in 1968, the Japanese Chief of Intelligence admitted that though his army had been able to decipher many U.S. codes, they were never able to crack the Navajo code.

All of you talking about Tide Pods being the “forbidden fruit” but I think y’all forgot the forbidden chewing gum
I’m so tired of getting a notification from tumblr and getting all excited and then seeing it’s just another damn porn bot followed me...
For those of you who want to ask questions for Swing and his friends
