Wot a larf!..... :lol: ... :lol: ...!

An almost identical journey to that taken by Dennis Weaver and Carey Loftin and the Peterbilt truck, in the Steven Spielberg Film "Duel",

...and a journey which I have taken many times in my Flight Sim from LA top Palmdale via Santa Paula, Soledad Canyon, and Santa Clara!

Both aircraft and road vehicles came to a sticky end!

An excellent read.... :dance: ...!

Thank you VERY much for that one. :D

"What could possibly go wrong?" :lol: :lol: :lol:

"At Placerita Canyon, two men had just left their truck to have lunch when a rocket blew it up."

I'm sure that they remembered that one for the rest of their lives! :lol: :lol: :lol:

That was probably the day that they realized that "things" could always be worse.
