Beats me. I wouldn't do it.

In the TAC, now is the time the people will be asked to approve, the final step. Some will not do so. I hear that the frsrt synod, of the TAC parishes and groups, in Great Britian, have voted to make the move. I don't know if there were dissenters, but that's the first in line.

Watch.

Hey. Wait a minute. Weren't you serious when you said I was great, etc?

(sigh).

I was TOTALLY SERIOUS about the "great" thing GKC. You're totally GREAT!

Don't know how much my reference will do for you tho'.

You'll be a GREAT CATHOLIC too. In time.

Glory to God in the highest!

Where have all the bishops gone? Long time passing...

I wouldn't put it past you, Jim, to have been on the A-Team as well! That A-10 is a cool old bucket. Wasn't it like a Korean War or Vietnam era plane retrofited with computers, etc.? How about the SR-71? They have a cool old Blackbird at a nearby airbase. That thing was so futuristic for its time!

Just once, just once I would like to see you use some Greek, Jim!

TAC bishops, that is.

How many are there of these, GKC?

(please tell me it was "Voice of theFaithful!" )

That's the difference that makes the former simple charity and the latter a knee jerk reaction (though perhaps understandable).

Nah, it's not that way at all, it's never been throughout history and this is far from unprecidented.

I don't know. In the ACA, I can find 10 on their home page. But 1 of these has just left, in the usual Continuum Shuffle, and I'd expect there to be some Suffragans, but I'm not sure.

Worldwide, in the entire TAC, no idea at all. But I note that in the anouncements that were made, back when this first hit the street, a few figures were thrown out, of between 30 and 50. I don't know if that was limited to the TAC or was estimating a few CoE miters being bagged.

No, it was certainly based on the idea of a sturdy ground support bird, like the old A-1, but it was a brand new airframe. It was the winner in the A-X fly-off between itself (built by Fairchild Republic) and the A-9, built by Northrup. Ugly, we called it. Thunderbolt, it was eventually named. Warthog it is known as.

This is a pic of the first test A-10: tail #69.

The SR-71 was very mysterious.

who didn't fly the thing, you know.

I have small Latin and less Greek.

I always wondered what made the A-10 so well-suited to wiping out tanks? It was known as the "tank-killer" if memory serves. The Blackbird was mysterious, eh? Didn't they start building early versions of that thing in the early 60's?

I never thought you flew 'em. You told me you were involved in the design and schematics, I thought? My grandfather build B-17 Flying Fortresses in WWII in Roswell, NM and in Biloxi, Mississippi. He worked on Mustangs and B-17s, building those suckers. He went up in them a few times. His buddy was a B-17 co-pilot involved in dog fights in Germany and he went through some horrific stuff. Knock your socks off. My grandpa was in the air force into the early 1950's. He said he remembers seeing the first jets that the Germans built and it blew him away. Imagine how far aircraft has come!

The A-10 was literally designed around the GAU-8 gun. To kill tanks, yes. The SR-71 grew from the A-12 and YF-12 programs, in the early 60s.

Had an uncle who was waist gunner in B-17Gs. 36 missions over Germany.

It's helpful in assessing the impact of bishop flight on congregations to know their approximate numbers; their average age--near or in retirement; and whether they're suffragens or not.

Could be.
