What would become arguably the most successful fighter aircraft since World War II started modestly, and like many late 20th-Century fighter designs, as a result of lessons learned in the Vietnam War. Among those lessons was that large, heavy fighters were not always the answer: the F-4 Phantom II, while a superlative aircraft, had often found itself outclassed by smaller, more nimble North Vietnamese MiG-17s and MiG-21s. The call for the US Air Force to develop its own lightweight fighter was spearheaded by fighter pilot and air combat theorist John Boyd. At first, Boyd’s proposals were dismissed by the USAF, who feared losing funding for the F-15 Eagle then in development. Boyd and others were able to convince the USAF of the usefulness of a light, cheap fighter as a complement to the heavy, expensive F-15, and finally the USAF agreed to issue a requirement for a Lightweight Fighter (LWF)—though with no guarantee that it would actually buy it.
Both General Dynamics and Northrop responded with designs, which would become the YF-16 and YF-17 Cobra. The first YF-16 was rolled out in December 1973, and first flew in January of the next year—accidentally, as the prototype veered off the runway and the test pilot felt it safer to takeoff rather than try to steer it back. The YF-16 won the flyoff against the YF-17, and the USAF selected it to go into service as the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Simultaneously, the YF-16 won a flyoff for the Multinational Fighter; the MNF was planned to be the successor to a number of aircraft in NATO service, and the competition between the YF-16, YF-17, France’s Mirage F.1M, and the SEPECAT Jaguar was fierce. Once selected, production of the F-16 would be vastly expanded, with it not only being produced in the United States, but also in the Netherlands and Belgium as well (to be followed later by Turkey and South Korea). In a short time, the F-16 had come a long way.
Production F-16s differed from the prototype by being slightly larger and heavier, though the initial production batch retained the “small tail” tailplanes of the prototype. Though heftier than the prototype, the F-16 retained the basis of Boyd’s ideal lightweight fighter: it was extremely maneuverable, to the point that a number of early F-16s crashed as the aircraft could take more than the pilot. Its maneuverability is due both to a favorable thrust-weight ratio and its deliberately unstable design: the F-16 was one of the first fighters to employ a wholly-fly-by-wire control system, with the hydraulic controls of older fighters being replaced by microprocessors controlled by a central computer. The microprocessors are able to make the dozens of decisions per second required by the design. For this reason, the F-16 is also known as the “Electric Jet.” General Dynamics had attempted to mitigate these effects on the pilot by reclining the ejection seat backwards and moving the control stick to the side. The pilot also has superb visibility due to the F-16’s bubble canopy.
The Fighting Falcon’s baptism of fire would not take long. Israel, which had been among the first to purchase the F-16, scored the type’s first air-to-air kill over Lebanon in 1981, as well as its first significant strike mission, the raid on Iraq’s Osirak reactor. In the following year, Israeli F-16s scored possibly as many as 30 victories over Syrian MiGs during the 1982 Lebanon War. Pakistani F-16s were to see limited action during the Soviet-Afghan War, shooting down 10 Afghani and Soviet aircraft that strayed into Pakistan’s airspace. For the United States, the F-16 would see its first action in the First Gulf War, though here the USAF used the Falcon’s large payload in strike missions; USAF F-16s saw no aerial action during this conflict.
By the early 1990s, the USAF relegated its F-16A models to the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, reequipping its units with later mark F-16Cs. Many of the ANG’s F-16As were upgraded to ADF standard. The last USAF F-16A left service around 2000; aircraft not placed in storage at AMARC in Arizona have been sold to other nations, while some are scheduled for conversion to QF-16 drones.
F-16As are among the most prolific fighters in the world, in service worldwide, flown by ten nations, three of which are in NATO. These aircraft (save those flown by Venezuela) have been significantly upgraded to F-16 MLU (Mid-Life Upgrade) standard, making them equivalent to F-16Cs. Besides Israeli and Pakistani kills in the type, a Dutch F-16AM shot down a Serbian MiG-29 during the Kosovo War in 1999. Other NATO F-16AMs have seen service over Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. These older models of F-16s will remain in service until probably 2020 at least, to be replaced by the F-35A Lightning II.
Here the whole team of Thunderbirds come over the crowd at the Air Force Academy's graduation ceremony in 1981. The team had just converted to the F-16 not long before, and this was one of their first shows in the type. They opened the show by rocketing over just as the graduates pitched their hats in the air (and scaring the hell out of the crowd, which included me). Still a great show, and the first time I got to see the team in the F-16--I had only seen them in the T-38 Talon to this point.

"Dirt Cheap" is the actual store name. They purchase salvage lots from insurance companies, so you find merchandise ranging from slight smoke smell to water damage, to broken to nothing wrong at all.
Dirt Cheap sells the merchandise in their stores at discounts. The pricing usually starts at 40% off the retail sticker and, as it sits on the shelf, the discount increases over time in 10% increments until its 90% off.
The fun part is looking at new stock when it arrives and deciding what you want to go ahead and get at 40% off and then watching the remainder and seeing if things you want will still be there when it reaches higher discounts.
The only caveat is to watch the retail pricing. A lot of times the merchandiise has the original stickers on it so you know whether it was salvaged from Wal-Mart, etc. If there are no original store stickers, Dirt Cheap assigns their own "retail price" which can be so high that the initial discount doesn't save you any money at all.
Dirt Cheap has been a fantastic source for toys over the years. We've purchased much of what is shown in the Paprihaven stream at very deep discounts.
It's definitely NOT a MIB store. But for people like us who are going to remove the toys from the packaging and utilize them anyway, it's very, very good.

We went to the park to hunt some daisies ….
Only with my cheap camera ….
There was a woman collecting some flowers from a yellow bush…
I couldn’t resist: “you should leave them here, the park is awful, they make it look better!”
She (not angry otherwise agreeing): bla bla bla bla
One day plants will rise up and stick humans to the ground….
Ciao belli!
These pages fit my planner perfectly. They're both punched incorrectly for a Circa notebook, but they work just fine if I re-punch them. The numbers on the front are the prices the thrift store charged me for them - one dollar for the daily calendar, and fifty cents for the lined paper.

Images scanned from a photo album bought in Deptford market (south east London) for £5. Although there are virtually no annotations in the album, it seems that the pictures were taken between 1930 and the late 1940's. Some may even be earlier.
Most the pictures are of groups of young people involved in camps and excursions organised by the Crusaders Union but some show views of the Queen Mary and sailing boats, of Stratford Upon Avon and other unnamed places, and of steam trains.
My new kitchen chair!
We went looking for some cheap-ish house stuff in Wetherby. The car boot sale yielded some very useful garden equipment and another Hornsea storage jar. The adjacent antique fair was a rather nice one with many friendly dogs - nicely spaced out, and very jolly. I wanted to look for a desk/dining table - I've had my £10 IKEA desk for about 6 years and never found the right replacement. And guess what - on the grounds was a man selling nice mid-century things, not exactly flying out of the shops here but oh so lovely and elegant. So, an hour of "thinking about it" later and some very clever cold-hearted negotiating by Rob got me this Fritz Hansen 3105 chair, which will go lovely with the "dinner for one" counter in the kitchen, a fabulous Børge Mogensen dining table which can be used as a desk (currently sitting in pieces in my hallway) and a wall mirror.
The chair was made in 1970 in the Fritz Hansen factory in Denmark and was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952 for the Munkegaard School and hasbeenin production as an adult chair since 1955, I think.
It was AJ's fourth chair design (AJ3105). The one before that one were the "ant" chairs designed in 1951 for a canteen (3100 and 3101) and the "hammer" chair (3103). The more famous "7" chair(3107) was produced in the same year. Allegedly, AJ based them on designs by Charles and Ray Eames who kind of invented bent flywood for use in furniture in the 1940's.
This one is now out of production, but other models can be bought new from Fritz Hansen for a good whack more or there's cheap copies all over the place. But who wants fake when you can have the real thing, which will not collapse when you sit on it and wear much nicer.
It travelled home on my lap because the dining table was sitting in the back seat.
Next: living room. I got my eye on a Cassina Maralunga sofa. Very old, a bit beaten up, perfect project to put on whatever fabric I fancy.
Very cheap for two breakfasts... I had the corned beef hash with coffee, and Sarah had the omelet. At this price, we may be tempted to make the Sunlight Restaurant our new hangout.
Classy shot of cheap beer, with a cheap lens that produces classy shots.
