Leo Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Wow! Do you think it took eight years to fly that far? :lol: Seriously, that's incredible. I just can't help think that duck (or the band itself) got here some other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Makes you wonder if that pintail was lost when he reached Japan or lost when he reached Mississippi. Should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
