TBow Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I think I'd like to be on the Grassy Knoll on November 22nd, 1963 to resolve that question once and for all. TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gzilla45 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I too think it would be D-Day. That was such an amazing showing of force and movies just can't do it justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 kyle, you have good taste. are you a pilot? Good taste, but not so good on history. Not too many U.S. pilots flew the Spitfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Good taste, but not so good on history. Not too many U.S. pilots flew the Spitfire. Some did though Chris. Don't think I'd want to be a withness to a war event. I sure would have enjoyed seeing the 1960 US Open at Cherry Hills and see Nicklaus as an amateur battle head to head with Hogan with Palmer making the charge to win.

Newarcher Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I would witness the failure of the American socialist experiment in 1623 when the Pilgrims tried and failed in the socialist experiment (not too many people know that). Here's the link: the Kansas Citian: Pilgrims - America's First Socialist Experiment . Then I could say that I was alive for the first failure at socialism AND the second failure of it thanks to Imamolama. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 America didn't exist in 1623. The first non-native Americans were here on what we now call American soil in 1623. It counts.

Forrest meet trees....trees meet forrest! New I may stand corrected............from Wiki: In 1507, German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller produced a world map on which he named the lands of the Western Hemisphere "America" after Italian explorer and cartographer Amerigo Vespucci I suppose we should heed the lesson learned from their failure anyhow!

The_Kat Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 The reason for my choice of aircraft is because it was the most aerobatic plane, as well as the most beautiful plane of its time in my opinion. I've always been fascinated by it. There were Brit-American squadrons who flew them, and they are the ones who witnessed some of the most amazing dogfights in the history of combat flying. No pilots license here...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Wow there are so many things that flood into your mind with this question. The JFK deal is interesting What about Roswell With the president on 9/11 At the miracle on Ice Some of those great sniper events( I.E. veitnam when the sniper took 14 shots and had 14 kills at night by himself) Like I've said so many things come to mind. This really gets you thinking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkoholic Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 The Gettysburg Address. This was an interesting time in our country's history and were it not for some bad military decisions we might all be flying the Rebel Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Sauceman Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Signing of the Declaration of Independence. If I knew then what I know now...An hour before Kennedy or Lincoln made their fateful trips. Names of all the hijackers and where they were on 9/10/01. Day before tsunami in Japan and the Islands...
