There with ya Wanderer

This picture just reminds me of how much I dislike taking care of my yard.

A little more duct tape and that chair would be good as new!

To me it looks like the faint small image of a skull on the mattress.

Yes, Thats it! Ipn...A paper cut-out doll. Its not a drawing at all. you can actually see the little notches on the edges. Thanks! :)

Visit your local branch for some good reading.

Wow, what a great shot, the light is just sublime.

This is what the U.S. Army call a B.A.T.
Ballistic Aerial Target. This was used as a target for the shoulder fired Stinger antiaircraft missile to shoot at. The end of it would be packed with numerous little rocket engines. They would launch it at an angle, the gasses inside the BAT (from the rockets burning) escaped out towards the nose on fitting angled to cause it to spin like a bullet and be stable in flight. Speed would be @350mph. The Stinger flies at Mach 1.5 . There is NO weapons use for this what so ever. Just a throw away target. The 1/213th A.D.A. ( Air Defense Artillery ), 28th Division of the Pennsylvania National Guard had their Headquarters in on of the old buildings there. I was in that unit and shot one of these targets down at Ft. Drum, NY. It was the only place to shoot the Stinger missile. The Stinger's range is close to 5K/3.1 miles.This was leftover from one of our "live fires" at Ft. Drum, NY. Used as a display.
