1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Sorry...
1. I admit I hadn't seen that post
however,
2. I didn't type in a date anywhere or I'd be sifting through a mess of listings. I already knew about these events except for the exact dates of Pontiac and Greece (but I'm part Native American, though not of the concerned tribes, and I happen to work for a Greek family). The main entry was from two different researches (Truman and VE-Day) which I very much condensed.
3. Nevertheless...
:-X

True, but the History forum was beginning to look flat, the conversation was gone.
If the Auto forum just became a list of cars you liked or the Photo forum just post after post of pictures with no explanation or critique, then it just becomes boring. However the history forum does sometimes go a far few days without a post.

There's nothing new to discuss....and the more interesting topics would violate some rules in here.

Some things I listed (and most were short lists -- usually very short, for my part -- and I tried not to repeat items of another list) were items I thought of note and knew something about; that doesn't mean that I'd have the same viewpoint nor, particularly, a complete one.
Hmmn... we're hot on the tail of a current event -- maybe we should be discussing this in a few weeks when it's history.
;D
