    America's only surviving triple ace celebrates his 101st birthday tomorrow.

    Brigadier General Clarence E. "Bud" Anderson was a P-51 pilot in the 357th Fighter Group in WWII alongside his long-time friend Chuck Yeager. He had 16 confirmed kills over Europe in WWII, then went on to work as a test pilot in the 50s before moving on to command combat units during the Vietnam War as an F-105 Thunderchief pilot. He retired from the Air Force in 1972.

    Hey, remember that volcanic eruption in Iceland last month? It's still going on, with new vents opening up. Lava has reached the village of Grindavik and has started burning houses, and there's been one death - a guy fell into a fissure at some point.

    I thought this was a joke:

    That french women cheat so much that the french government banned all DNA tests because they were afraid of the societal effects of so many dads finding out they were not raising their biological offspring.

    Until I found this:

    49 years ago today a specially prepared F-15A Eagle fighter aircraft nicknamed "Streak Eagle" broke eight time-to-climb records including a flight to 98,425 feet just 3 minutes, 27.8 seconds from brake release at takeoff, which continued "coasting" to nearly 103,000 after the engines quit from oxygen starvation feet before descending and relighting the engines. All eight of those records had been claimed a few years before by the Soviets with the MiG-25 Foxbat.

    Streak Eagle was modified to be the lightest and fastest it could possibly be, deleting the cannon, missile launch systems, radar, speed brake actuators and as much other equipment as it could do without, and even saving 40lb by not painting the aircraft.
