After 42 years of not flying, I retired and bought a Mooney M20-G (Statesman). It took awhile to get good (and confident) enough to go far away but finally was able to tour the US in 2019, visiting family and childhood and college friends. Here I'm going back and posting videos of some of those flights and others taken afterward that may be of interest.
Great performance and delivery of speech. Just like the "Lincoln" movie, this is the second time I feel Lincoln come alive. Daniel Day Lewis, in his acting and embodiment of the subject and person; remarkably gave the feeling and sense that Lincoln was walking around in our midst in that movie.
Our greatest President by far, regardless what Trump says. Lincoln was so hated by many both north and south. That hatred was personified in Booth. Why are the greatest of men that fight for human dignity always taken down by hatred? MLK, Gandhi, Chávez, Lincoln, Christ. This hatred is filling our goverment. Don't vote for hate anymore.
I have been to: his home in Springfield, IL The White House Gettysburg Battlefield Ford’s Theatre Petersen home across the street where he died, and The Lincoln Memorial He was a man that rose to the enormous need of the Nation - even at his own personal peril. I don’t think I have experienced a President in my lifetime who committed so much - and I remember Eisenhower when I was in Kindergarten.
I have been to the Lincoln Memorial. It was the most powerful of any I have visited in stirring an emotional response. Only one other comes close - the Hero Cities memorial at the wall of the Kremlin.
'Got that right! I'm tellin; ya. I have always read it off the page. I memorized the first paragraph when I was a kid. I have never heard it portrayed this way.
I would give anything for Daniel Day Lewis to have given this whole speech at Lincoln....... but this is about as damn close as anyone could hope for. Well done!
Hal Holbrook made his career giving this speech in something close to Lincoln’s voice. I’d like to have heard Orville Redenbacher or David Letterman do it.
Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the most iconic and incredible actors to ever grace the silver screen, but he was miscast in this movie for one very stark reason---he does not have the voice of Abraham Lincoln. We, of course, have never heard Lincoln, but Day-Lewis' attempt at capturing 'the voice' of the American President the most revered and renowned across the world fails miserably. In this film, Day-Lewis sounds more like a subordinate than Abraham Lincoln would have sounded. It's only an opinion...
GGG grandfather was a drummer boy at Gettysburg. In a story passed down to his son then on to my Uncle. He claimed that the audience was holding their breath, vomiting, gagging. The smell of the dead, not too far away, was that bad.

"We pass over the silly remarks of the President. For the credit of the nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and that they shall be no more repeated or thought of." Editorial, "Patriot and Union," Harrisburg, PA 11/24/1863
In 2013, they then printed the following: "Seven score and ten years ago, the forefathers of this media institution brought forth to its audience a judgment so flawed, so tainted by hubris, so lacking in the perspective history would bring, that it cannot remain unaddressed in our archives. "We write today in reconsideration of 'The Gettysburg Address,' delivered by then-President Abraham Lincoln in the midst of the greatest conflict seen on American soil. Our predecessors, perhaps under the influence of partisanship, or of strong drink, as was common in the profession at the time, called President Lincoln's words 'silly remarks,' deserving 'a veil of oblivion,' apparently believing it an indifferent and altogether ordinary message, unremarkable in eloquence and uninspiring in its brevity. "In the fullness of time, we have come to a different conclusion. No mere utterance, then or now, could do justice to the soaring heights of language Mr. Lincoln reached that day. By today's words alone, we cannot exalt, we cannot hallow, we cannot venerate this sacred text, for a grateful nation long ago came to view those words with reverence, without guidance from this chagrined member of the mainstream media. "The world will little note nor long remember our emendation of this institution's record - but we must do as conscience demands: "In the editorial about President Abraham Lincoln's speech delivered Nov. 19, 1863, in Gettysburg, the Patriot & Union failed to recognize its momentous importance, timeless eloquence, and lasting significance. The Patriot-News regrets the error."
Rapist kid drug meths killer can only shine if men if good will be terrorize by their pervert violent kinappungs scheme .leaders if nations can only be withhold if the insanity of the cowardice of the lost faith is a sign of time.and evils shall thrive if the so called leaders hide behind theirs skirts for an evil offer of a buck more .this KGB RDA mass grave my family fir 4 générations and bought the judges to escape from prosecution and mobs killed my kin as an terror intimidation.tgus mass grave kbg killer had to be stopped by minute men and b killers .he drugs meths rapes kids and babies .
Little did anyone there know that it would take another 150 years for the nation to finally dissolve. All those lives were in vain. We are about to become separated again and this time it’s going to be permanent, and based on ideology.
All the cemeteries that fill our fields today are testament . The " full measure of devotion " is recognized ! Freedom is NOT free. But to those who have paid the ultimate , having been your brethren in the struggle , i will continue to , with every breath GOD blesses me with , fight against the injustices that plague us. VOTE BLUE !!! 💙💙💙 Take Mr Lincolns words to heart .
Historically Lincoln received no applause during and after the speech. He felt that he had failed with his "few appropriate remarks". After the ceremony, Edward Everett, who railed for almost two hours before the President, came up to him and said that Lincoln said more in his 90 seconds than he had.
