I love red, white, and blue everything.
Be safe with the fireworks, eat enough potato salad to last through the next millenium, and play in the water! I'm going to!
Have a great 4th of July!

(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

Re: Have a great 4th of July!
Just finished watching the fireworks display here at Wrightsville Beach! It was great! 
I hope everyone has a nice weekend. Alas, we're driving home tomorrow. *sigh* Back to real life.
The good news is, we're trying to plan a second trip in September, and I'm already scheduled to come back in October for a conference.

4 July 1989, as seen today from Europe
1989 Belgian MiG-23 crash.
The 1989 Belgian MiG-23 crash involved the crash of an unmanned Soviet MiG-23 into a house in Kortrijk, Belgium, on 4 July 1989, killing an 18-year-old man.
The incident started as a routine training flight. Colonel Skuridin, the pilot, departed the Soviet air base near Kołobrzeg, Poland. During takeoff, the afterburner failed and the engine began losing power. At an altitude of 150 meters and descending, the pilot assumed he had a complete engine failure and ejected without incident. However, the engine had not failed completely, and the aircraft remained airborne, flying on autopilot in a westerly direction.
The now-unmanned aircraft crossed into the airspace of East Germany and then West Germany, where it was intercepted by a pair of U.S. Air Force F-15s. As the MiG-23 crossed into Dutch airspace, the F-15s broke off their escort. The French put armed Mirage fighters on readiness in case the MiG approached French territory. However, after flying over 560 miles and crossing into Belgium, the MiG ran out of fuel and crashed into a house, killing an 18-year-old man inside.
FYI only.
Tomorrow, this can be done by any fighter with nukes, owned by any country - first of all who (officially) have them. Should I make a list? Can you find Switzerland on this list?
Did you get the details?
- Soviet air base near Kołobrzeg, Poland
- West Germany ... a pair of U.S. Air Force F-15s
Well, it was reassembled a little since then.
You know, the latter days ...
Have a great 4th of July!
