In the late 80s (pre-kids, pre-marriage) I would rent a house in Stone Harbor NJ with several other guys. We lived in PA and we'd drive there every weekend during the summer. We'd often stop in AC either on the way down or on the way back. I remember going to the Atlantis Casino which was previously the Playboy and subsequently the Trump Regency. It had cheap tables, which was good for us low rollers. I just looked to see who owns it now and found that it was torn down more than 20 years ago. 😲 I'm getting old. Aren’t we all😳 Yes Harrahs is on the Bayside. I saw the spot where Trump Plaza was, so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article has video from a different angle. @John&LaLamight be able to identify where it landed based on these videos. https://www.wogx.com/news/watch-plane-goes-down-during-cocoa-beach-air-show-lands-in-ocean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did it picture perfect, letting the rear of the fuselage touch the water first , wings level and it just settles in. Not a crash, just an off airport landing, just as Sully said.

Yes, 30 is the maximum for funerals at moment, and everyone has to be in their household groups or socially distanced and covid compliant. Very sad and moving funeral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 17, 2021 #13297 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Today is National Mustang Day! I can proudly say that I drove 2 today. I’m a bit sad to say that my avatar photo is no longer mine after 9 years. However, that being said, it is not the end of the world. It’s not a step sideways, but upwards from 500 to 760 HP. The Storm Trooper is now under powered at 707HP. 😂 Pics to come in a few weeks. I need to do some cosmetic changes first. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
