I was sent this pic in Email, it came in after the Colombia tragedy> I ran it through some tests in PSP and it looks genuine. It had this message attatched: "Thought you would enjoy this! It is a Great photo of an Air Force training squadron flying in a never-done-before "USA" formation over the control tower "Taj Mahal" (HQ building) of Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas."

No, this is a hoax. It's a manufactured image, and has been around since last December, at least. Check the link below out:

Besides, boomer, if it was supposed to be post-Columbia tragedy, why isn't the flag at half-staff?

boomer,

You seem to have forgotten that you have lost all credibility with us my friend... yeah you're a nice guy etc. etc. but you led us on for weaks about this fallacious Aurora thing... why didn't you just start up a topic talking about the Aurora and not showing pics? nevertheless, they have you pinned with the half-staff thing... its been what, a week and here at Cal-State our flag is still at half-staff. Go figure bud, pic up some integrity your next time at "I'm proud that I know how to lead people on - MART" ...

"The cost of peace is eternal vigilance". -Thomas Jefferson

Let's see...he never once claimed that it was an Aurora, he let the speculation run rampant. He factually told where he took the pics. And when the joke was up, he let everyone know what it really was and how it did it. And he was asking if this pic was really what it appeard to be. So Boomer's still very credible in my book.

Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason.

Buzz I don't have any problems with Boomer credibilty either. What I do have a problem with is the FNG, whom I offered an olive branch to, continuing to stick his foot in his mouth. Enough said.
