In the respective shipside folders, there are 19 copies each of the Yamato and Iowa class shipsides. Why?

[Speedysteve]

Its the kind of thing you don't ask.

Like Area 51 stuff [;)]

[Terminus]

Yeah, I'll probably be "disappeared" now, for bringing this into the light...

<Is that the X-Files theme I hear playing in the background...?>

"Terminus have you taken your medication?"

[Terminus]

[Gen.Hoepner]

is this spam or what?[:D]

[Speedysteve]

Spam? I see no spam GH. Where's the spam?[:D][;)]

[Terminus]

No spam here, seeing as how this is my thread, and I'm certainly not a spammer. Still haven't gotten an answer to my original question, though...

[Captain Cruft]

I have no answer but it doesn't matter. It's probably just cruft left over from someone's file manipulations at some point in the distant past. Like the "BTR" strings in the code ...

[scott64]

My uncle was stationed in Greenland when he was in the Army in the early 60's ... he was told there was a girl behind every tree there [:D]

I was on deployment with VP-5 to Keflavik, Iceland in 1975 and we were flying an ice patrol along the west coast of Grrenland when we had an overspeed on #3 engine. We made a precautionary landing in Thule, Greenland and ended up spending the "night" (it was June so there wasn't any "night"). They didn't have enough barracks space for us so they put us up in an old Quonset hut that was half buried in snow and ice. We had to dig out an area in front of the door just to get in. Inside there was an old coal-fired stove that was to provide heat but the coal was buried in the snow outside. Being junior man on the crew at the time, you can guess who got to dig it out and keep the stove going all night.

Learned that the runway is painted white! Thought that was dumb, white runway on white snow and ice. Never did learn why though.

Spent 1982-83 in Keflavik with the good old USMC. I hear they've largely shut the whole place down, now ...
