Well, I finally loaded some new .380s for my sister. And realized I'm now out of small pistol primers.

Argh.

Another conversationg from the Mack household...

Big Sister: (having been gone for a couple of days on business) Mack, what's that big Air Force plane called?
Me: (absently) B-52?
BS: No, it's a transport.
Me: C-130?
BS: No, it's a jet.
Me: C-5?
BS: Maybe, but more numbers.
Me: C-17?
BS: That's it. I flew into Atlanta on one of those today.
Me: What? How?
BS: Work. (in tone that implied, that, yes, indeed my big sister has a higher security clearance than I do)

Today, I am officially an Eagle Scout!! Time to celebrate!!

Fuck yeah! Wow, that wasn't exactly in accordance with the Scout Law, but I digress.

Good deal, man.

The Allison T56 A-15 turboprop is technically jet engine, so by extension, the C-130 would classify as a jet aircraft.

You probably know this already, but just saying.

You know, actually, conceptually I have never thought of a turbo-prop as a jet engine.

But, thinking back to my CAP days, I obviously see where you are correct.

Well played.

Being in the Army, when I see a spinny thing in the front, I classify it as propeller driven. lol

Thanks. I shall now proceed to do this (I always wanted to use this gif):
