Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski is one of the most prolific contract killers ever to have worked for the Mafia. Having taken his first life when was just 13, he claimed to have personally committed as many as 250 murders.

That's the F4U Corsair, one of the best fighter aircraft of WWII. It was designed for the Navy for carrier use but when first introduced in 1942, failed it's carrier trials due to its extremely long nose which created visibility issues. Along with this, the Corsair tended to bounce on landing which made landing one on a carrier very dangerous.
It took about a year to iron out the problems to where the Corsair was cleared for carrier operations. In this period where it was not cleared for carrier use, the navy equipped many Marine Corps fighter wings with the Corsair where it proved to be more than a match for anything the Japanese put in the air.
She remained in service with the Marines and Navy (after it was cleared for carrier use) through out both WWII and Korea, being used as both a fighter, fighter bomber, and night fighter. Even though the US retired the Corsair from front line serice in the early 50s, it remained in service with several nations seeing combat in both the 1950s and as late as 1969! It was finally retired in 1979.
Think of it like this, in 1979 the F-15 and F-16 were already operational with the US Air Force and had been for years. The B1 bomber had also been designed, tested and killed (at least for a decade) by that idiot Jimmy Carter . And the F4U was just being retired by Honduras which was the last country to use it.

Luftwaffe pilots playing cards during the African campaign, 1942. The plane in the background is a Me-109.
While it's very common for the 109 to be called "ME109", this was actually not the Germans designation for this fighter. The fighter most people call "ME109" was actually named "BF109". This is not the only aircraft by Messerschmitt to be commonly misidentified. This aircraft....
Is commonly called the ME110, it's actually named BF110.

Voyager Golden Record:
quote:
The Voyager Golden Records are phonograph records that were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. They contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them. Neither Voyager spacecraft is heading toward any particular star, but Voyager 1 will pass within 1.6 light-years of the star Gliese 445, currently in the constellation Camelopardalis, in about 40,000 years.[1]

I was amazed when I found out the Mongols not only wrecked shite for the Arabs, they also filled in all of their sources of irrigation and drinking water. Savage AF

The trench is actually in Britain. (World War One trench systems at Penally in Wales). It was used to train troops in Britain before they were sent to the Western Front.
