    It was great running into you at Hollywood Studios. Thanks for taking the time to say hello to my wife Eva and me. We made it on to Rise Of The Resistance. We were boarding backup group 129 and by the time we made it out it was pouring rain. It was the 4th time for us on “Rise” and it was as awesome as always. I love your videos bro, and this video is so cool. That jet was hauling!!!!

    You have got to go to the Sun N Fun air show held each year there. It used to be in April every year, not sure with the pandemic. It is an awesome show! We camped there back around 1998 and it was so cool to see people camping under their airplanes!

    Grumman f-14s were built 30 miles from where I grew up in calverton,n.y. Grumman had an annual picnic we would attend back in the day... 5 dollars per carload... all the hotdogs corn on the cob and soda you could drink...man oh man that was a real treat...as I got a little older, they would pay you 20 dollars to serve food or work on the amusement park rides...that was big money for us kids... Thanks Jay for bringing back those days,especially during THESE days...

    From Lancashire England, we love your videos and have done several road trips around Florida and have a road trip planned for next year, on seeing your Silver Springs State park video we changed are plans because it looked fantastic, without you we would never had known about the place. Keep exploring your our eyes and ears as we will never be able to see all the wonderful places in sunny Florida, enjoy seeing the off the beaten track places as well as the tourist places.

    Interesting thing about that "Coors" rocket pod: I didn't fly attack helicopters myself, but I've heard, on more than one occasion, that a beer can (lots of them, actually) fit nicely inside those 2.75" rocket tubes. The pilots would have the tubes loaded with beer (and sodas) and then take them up to altitude in order to chill them. That way every one could enjoy a nice cold beverage. This seemed to be a favorite for Army National Guard picnics as well.

    That plane you said was off an aircraft carrier, is in actuality a MIG-21, premier Russian interceptor for decades. And yes, the F-14 Tomcat was the plane from Top Gun. The NAVY plane with the skids is the Convair F2Y Sea Dart, a prototype. Just to let you know. Congrats on the 20K!!

      @@TampaJay Thanks Bro. Oh..and Happy Winter Solstice as well. We Navajo Peope celebrate this special event throughout the land. We call this Holy Day: Háí ‘ałníí' or Jóhonaa'éí háí níyáh which means “ Winter has arrived or The Sun came to it’s point in the sky.” We believe that sun has come the doorway which He (the Sun) is distributing all the prayers and offerings that he collected through his journey from last winter, spring, summer and fall to the Main Creator on the other side. That doorway I’m talking about is the Galactic Center of our Galaxy, the Black hole, we called it in Navajo: Yágháhóódzą́ní. Which is located beneath the Sun’s path ( Shá bítíín), between the two constellation of Sagittarius ( Sǫ́' Shashtsoh “the Great Bear star” ) and Scorpio ( Tsé'étsoh hastį́į́h , The wise old man ), guardians to the Creator’s entranceway.
      So during the Solstice, we fast and show reverence for four days, starting now til Christmas Eve. The Sun rest and prays for all of us on this earth and preparing for his journey back to summer.
      First we go through our Sweatlodge, to cleanse ourselves from all the negative things that is attached to our spirit and soul. We pray with the Sun for many things to come, such as...rejuvenation, renewal, blessings of good health, good seasons, good neighbors, rain, snow, moisture, good crops, hope, faith, fortitude of spirit, joy, endless charity of self and boundless love etc.
      This great conjunction that is happening in our Sky with the planets of Jupiter ( Sǫ́'tsoh alááh aniłtsóoh ) and Saturn ( Sǫ́'tsoh bizéédzisgaii )is telling us a message to all people around the Globe. So far, the Sun and the Creator observed everything that was happening throughout the seasons of 2020 and saw a lot of Dissension ( Doo ałkéłk'eiikááh da), Strife ( Ałch'į' dáadi’nih) and Enmity ( Doo k’édanidzin da) among our people across the country which is ripping us apart in two and so we need to come together as one again in Unity, balance and harmony. Just like the two planets is shinning as one right now.
      So I just want to share that with you my friend. ☺️😊

    Little late to the party as I'd only found your channel a few months back. But most of the aircraft have already been identified, the Piedmont is a Boeing 727. As far as the POW stuff, my uncle was a POW and he was one of only about 30 US servicemen to escape from his captors. He's only mentioned his experiences twice, once right after I joined the Marine Corps. Guess he wanted me to know. Been there, done that, and got the T-shirt on the divorce "check list." Sucks...but as you said...sometimes just two different people.
