Hello and welcome to the Sunday Picture Show. Share your Buck knives with others by posting pictures of them here. New or old, plain or custom, user or safe queen, one or a collection, we love to see them all. This weekly tradition was started in 2010 by ItsTooEarly (Armand Hernandez) and Oregon (Steve Dunn). Help keep the tradition alive. Feel free to click that 'LIKE' but lets not let it replace discussing and complimenting each others knives. Above all, enjoy the show. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)
This day in history October 16, 1962 The Cuban Missile Crisis. On the morning of October 16th, 1962, President Kennedy is shown images taken in an U2 overflight of Cuba showing missile installations. Anyone here old enough to remember air raid drills in school? I was in third grade and remember lining up in the corridors with our heads down against the wall. My wife says her school practiced moving everyone to the boiler room. I also remember my parents buying canned goods and candles. I pray we are not heading for another crisis with Putin.
U2 Quick Facts I was curious, At 70,000 feet (13.2 miles) the on ground resolution is about 8" (WOW!) Still using film, not digital. The images are shot on 250-pound rolls containing 10,500 feet of 6-inch-wide film. The following is one of the images shown to President Kennedy in 1962.
2022 is the 112 Ranger .50th anniversary. This week have some random 112's and 422's I found these together in a box.
