"Oops! search: Mahavishnu Orchestra Miles Out - that'll pull it up immediately. I just heard it twice - and I might go a couple more! Now in his 60's, he's still quite capable of going nuts on guitar. Also in Shakti - an acoustic Jazz/South Indian band at the same time. The top YT video under Shakti pulls up a live video of him playing. Nobody can do what he does."Duncan Campbell (businessavante) Appreciation Day on BizSugar: Happy Anniversary Mister Moderator!
"Interesting - the Lavi sounds fascinating. I've read lots about fighter aircraft - after WWII, the economies of many world powers were too far gone to continue the expense of having their own program. (The US economy tripled during WWII while the rest of the world was bombed into oblivion.) Britain was the 1st truly major air power to fade - you should see some of their experimental ideas from the late 50's/early '60's - but there wasn't enough money to bring it off. Of all countries, when you look from the end of WWII to now, you might be surprised to see Sweden next in line after the US & the USSR - next with swept wing fighters like the F-86 (the Tunan = barrel), next with mach 1 fighters like the F-100 (the Lansen), next with mach 2 fighters - the Draken (dragon), then the Viggen (thunderbolt), and on. Somehow they do it. Fighters are the coolest, but I also love the A-10 Thunderbolt II with its giant gatling gun that can shoot through several feet of steel-reinforced concrete - low tech, but BAAAAAD!! And the blended wing-body mach 3+ SR-71 !!!"Duncan Campbell (businessavante) Appreciation Day on BizSugar: Happy Anniversary Mister Moderator!
"I saw four A-7 Corsair II's do a practice bomb run at an airshow - they dropped small bombs that exploded. What was cool was the bomb run itself - the formation and way they flew in. I always loved the P-38 - the "Forked Tail Devil" to the Germans, and "Whistling Death" to the Japanese. It was the best 2 engine single-seat fighter of WWII, and the 1st 400mph+ fighter in service of any country (if I'm remembering this right - I'm going on memory). I also love the Jug - my favorite version of it was the contra-prop prototype XP-72 - much faster than the Mustang, and it looked really cool with the longer nose, and scoop. Another fave - the XF5U Flying Pancake or Flying Flapjack. You gotta see it - and when they scrapped it, it was almost indestructible. "Subscribe

"Yoni - I don't know how to get the YT links, but go to YT, and enter John McLaughlin Miles Out. That's his 2nd of many goes at his custom Ring Modulator. He's a Crazy man - my kinda guy all the way. From 1976 - it might remind you of Jimi. Narada Michael Walden is the drummer - a perfect match for Jawn (like Mitch Mitchell & Jimi)."
