My Dad teased us kids in the '60s about moving to the Marianas Islands. He was a U.S. Army Air Defense officer and involved with missile testing stratigery, which was being done there. I liked the idea (at 12 yo) of the island life - Dad said it is like 1/2 miles wide by 1-1/2 miles long. Never did get there - but will now!

Your dad scaled it down 1:20 for your childish imagination. Many of my military pilot friends have a low opinion of the place and were surprised that I had loved it as much as I did. I realized many years ago that the truth of the place might be an inversion of a common cliché: “Guam is a great place to live but I wouldn’t want to visit there.”

Marianas islands, YAY!! With modern buildings…Huh??? Scratches head. But free… Oh OK!!!
Who else is excited about the Zeke? I want it more than the Corsair or the TBolt. Yes, blaspheme I know. The Zero will run circles around the current warbirds in a turn fight.
If the Mosquito materializes it’s a day one preorder for me.
I look forward to A-10C revamp. This is great.
What a great year ahead! Thank You ED.

It is for the B-52s. Kind of a “ski jump” to aid them getting airborne. with heavy payloads.

Worst thing about Real Life though is the pay to win scheme.
