Got started early, when I was twelve or so my Dad demo'd one ofthe last Liberty Ships down to 20 feet above water line and then sunk it off Navarre Beach Florida. I still have aporthole from the ship somewhere in storage.
Later in life I went to look at a blimp hanger that had burned outside of Elizabeth City NC. All that was left were four massive columns that you could see for a mile around the area. I didn't get that one though, I don't remember who did.
I nearly got bombed while working for the Dept of the Navy cleaning up targets. My pickup was the same color as the targets. A real D'oh moment.
