Hey fellow aviation people, check out iloveahangar because their merch, especially their shoes, are insane!!!
They have high-top (and even more low-tops) for tons of popular aircraft squadrons and individual planes themselves fit with logos and paint schemes and accurate serial numbers. You can get most of them with either black or white sides/laces.
They’ve got F-14 Tomcats squadrons, U-2, A-10 squadrons, Tuskegee Airmen aircraft, individual SR-71s, individual B-17s, individual P-51s, and soooooo many more to choose from.
For my F-14 Tomcat people, they have the following squadrons (that I’ve seen):
VF-1 WolfPack
VF-2 Bounty Hunters
VF-31 Tomcatters
VF-41 Black Aces
VF-84 Jolly Rogers
VF-143 Pukin’ Dogs
I was hoping they’d have VF-213 Black Lions and VF-114 Fighting Aardvarks, but maybe it’s for the best they don’t because then I would have to buy them both IMMEDIATELY on top of the pair I already bought.
For my Masters of the Air friends, they have a collaboration with the 100th Bomb Group Foundation where you can custom make your own pair of B-17 Flying Fortress high top shoes. They also have some of the most popular aircraft in the group’s history with the nose art, for example: “Our Baby”, “Our Gal Sal”, “Rosie’s Riveters”, and “Alice From Dallas.” They come in drab green and some are in silver!
I just got a custom pair of these with the B-17 serial number 42-3393 Just-a-Snappin’ and I am soooo excited to wear these to EAA!!
Tumblr media
I recommend browsing some of the individual collections for particular museums and historical foundations by going to the three lines and selecting “Museums and Collections”. Check out some of the others I mentioned below and check out their website for tons more, including other products like bags and duffels and wall art!

Fun BSD French translation details and choices - Episode 17 (by someone who does not understand Japanese but thinks the differences with the English translation/subtitles are fun)
General notes:
Kouyou's ability is called "Or démoniaque" (Demonic Gold).
Kouyou called Mori "Monsieur Ougai". I know she calls him "Ougai-dono" in the Japanese dub, but to call someone "Mr [first name]" in French has the connotation of them being a preschool teacher or something sdkjfhskdjf
Lovecraft'S voice actor is so funny. He has the voice you would expect to hear on some kind of large, benevolent, homely creature. Maybe a cuddly bear. He sounds less menacing and more like he ended up in the wrong role, but it still fits his "why am I here I just want to sleep" vibe.
Steinbeck and Lovecraft's abilities are just literal translations of their English counterparts. "Les Raisins de la colère" (The Grapes of Wrath/Anger) and "Le Grand Ancien" (The Great Old One/Ancient).
Chuuya called Kouyou "Madame Kouyou" in front of Mori, in an uncharacteristic show of politeness. French dub Chuuya is just some guy to whom wild stuff happens.
Something I just noticed is that in the French subs, Mori calls Elise "Éris". Understandable, but oops.
Atsushi uses the informal "you" (tu) with Kouyou.
Today's quote:
Tumblr media
VF: Fini de jouer, ma belle. On passe aux choses sérieuses. (We're done playing, gorgeous. Let's get serious.) Eng: This is not for the eyes of children.

A list of all the things THAT HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED that they/Meghan did behind the BRf's back...as an own-goal...which created friction and made them distrust her -
1. The Vanity fair issue in 2017 (she told them it was to celebrate 100th episode of suits)
2. The love-shield statement by Harry (against Jason Knoufs advice, while Charles was on tour. Seems she wanted Harry to legitimize their relationship even after the VF article)
3. The Vogue UK issue in Sept 2019 (kept a secret for about 8 months)
4. The smart works capsule collection.
5. Promoting Misha nonoos label as part of smart works.
6. The dinky Jen Meyer jewellery merching (which BRF publicly put a stop to in late 2019, around US open)
7. The Elephant documentary. (Going to Lion King with Harry to meet Beyonce. Skipping the Deal memorial for the premier.)
8. Getting permission from queen to do an Invictus documentary but later changing that and doing mental health apple doc with Oprah. (And bashing queen and Charles in it for the 'genetic pain' inflicted upon him.
9. Treating the Aus tour as a vacation and thinking everyone was jealous of her. Taking Messica on the tour as part of emotional support group/stylist. (Gifting Messica a Range Rover as payment is not officially confirmed. Existing articles about it are a but wishy washy)
10. Wanting to release Bench with Vogue UK in 2019 to promote herself in the US market.
11. Collaborating on Finding Freedom (court records show she instructed Jason K to provide material to the authors).
12. Megxit. Planning on the US/Hollywood based career since 2018 and having a Us media team (and keeping them.a secret from her palace staff).
13. Using the Queen, Palace, titles as threat or coersion when something did not go her way (and possibly grabbing deals using those titles).
14. Cutting Harry off from his friends as early as the engagement ( 2017)
15. Secret engagement in early 2017 without the queens permission or informing her (and then waiting for her to get back from Balmoral to ask her permission).
(Remember the Botswana elephant pic with Harry? I suspect that's when they got engaged and she put that pic on her IG as a tease/"sweet nod")
16. Moving in with Harry way back in 2017 (and possibly living in with him for a good year and a half before marriage)
(I suspect that she arranged the VF interview and shoot in London as a flex and to show-off).
17. Hating Nott Cott for being too small and non-glamorous. Then planning to move out or get a fancy place (they leased a cottage in Coltswold)
18. Wearing merch jewellery (the HnM initial jewellery even though Jason K explicitly told her not to draw attention)
20. Deliberately excluding her Dad from the wedding and giving flimsy excuses to the BRF as to why meeting him in Mexico would not be practical. (We always suspected that she did that against the BRFs wishes and pissed them off with those antics alone).
21. Cutting off Harry's friends and later his family by pissing them off, acting superior to them.
22. Deliberately love-bombing male journalists or men in power so they would write favorably about her or do as she wishes. While being abrasive towards female staff or women. ( VF journalist, Pierc Morgan, Scoby, Ed Enninful, Markus, Jason K, Prince Charles, David Foster, Craig Ferguson etc etc etc)
(Treated badly - Catherine, Camilla, Queen, Sophie, all the WAGs of Harry's friends, female staff, RPO, AKelly, UN women etc etc)
23. Trying to cut William and Catherine out Harry's life by saying they are jealous of her popularity.
24. Wearing the blood diamonds in Fiji and then again for Charles bday even though PC himself asked her not to)
25. Trying to open a shady foundation with the help of her US agents to dipost the earnings she makes from her royalling.
26. Being too gung-ho about projects, throwing a million ideas and then changing her mind constantly. Being a mean boss.
27. Competing with the Queen, Camilla and Catherine for popularity by deliberately releasing pics, projects, papwalks or articles about herself on their important days.
28. Demanding a separate salary as a working royal. (And asking for all her expenses to be paid by Charles).
29. Harry's asking to be involved in the working of duchy of Cornwall and expecting to be paid for it (and getting pissed that it wasn't possible)
30. Being jealous of Williams and George's position as future Kings, and being paranoid about become irrelevant as a brand in a few years. (Hence leveraging their royal titles for fame, adoration and money)
31. Trying to sabotage Charles because he wanted to slim down the monarchy for financial reasons.
32. Securing Netflix, Spotify, quibi in 2019 before megxit. Planning megxit and the drama to justify these deals.
33. Demanding a wedding more expensive than will and Kate. Expecting a bank holiday to be declared for her wedding. Not planning anything well (and so PC and BP staff had to step in to arrange basic things)
34. Asking the wedding choir for constant re-do (12 times, and then rejecting the final selection anyway).
35. Rejecting the queen and Charles attempts to reconcile her with her side of family.
40. Stood up Charles for his documentary at the last minute.
41. Inviting celebs for her wedding even though she had never met them.
42. Receiving freebies as a royal (so far confirmed is Soho Amsterdam getaway, Jen Meyer jewellery, things she promoted on SR ig, private jets from Rich celeb friends)
43. Demanding separate staff from the Cambridges and being salty for being put under the BP umbrella (they did not like the checks and rules and hid everything from BP)
44. Rejecting palace doctors and deliberately creating controversy with bump clutching for publicity (she was angry palace asked her to remain low-key and to stop patting her belly so much lol)
45. Going behind Williams back and love-bombing Charles. Going behin Charles' back and trying to cosy in with the queen. Insulting queens staff and bad mouthing them in interviews to undermine the queen in the public's eye.
46. Using the Diana template and trying to be Diana 2.0 as a branding strategy. And resorting to self-victimisation to become popular against the best of advice from her UK advisors.
47. Rejecting South Africa as a place they could move to after the palace arranged for the couple to spend their initial years there (this to you dermine Harry and emotionally manipulate him, I believe)
48. Reading everything about themselvesand then berating staff to correct opinions on Tumblr, LSA, YouTube etc. (Doxing bloggers who were critical of her)
49. Weaponizing her fandom, Sussex squad (they acknowledged a super sugar, Scoby frequently collaborates with them, they acknowledged fundraisers etc)
50. Being work-shy. And barging in on Harry's patronages for publicity. Dragging him away in the middle of conversations. Excessive PDA.
51. Oprah interview. And using that to push the racism angle, jealousy angle and suicide angle. (As a retaliation for taking away Harry's patronages)
52. The exorbitant NYC baby shower. Getting freebies from companies as gifts. Saying Serena comped for the shower when it was a publicity stunt and merching gig.
53. Lying to queen about Lily's name. And lying to public.
54. Blackmailing BRF for jubilee using the kids as a bargaining chip. (And then walking off in a huff when rejected)
Please note: These are the things that I believe the BRF got to know about or knew about. Things that are provable with actual reciepts. Proved either in articles over the years or various books published so far. I'm not including the things she "may" have done or rumours or hear-say.
=============
THIS. SUBMISSION. IS. EVERYTHING.
Can I tell you what I consider to be the most heinous on the list? It's the merching. Her merching was completely against the BRF's financial code of conduct, never mind that fact that universally everyone would agree that a public servant who uses their office for personal profit is CORRUPT.
I am not diminishing the hurt that she caused her staff or even the Cambridges, but I simply cannot abide by people who abuse the public trust and not to mention misuse hard-earned tax payer money. Which is exactly what Meghan did. Every penny spent on her was to prop her up and only her.
My problem with Meghan has always been about her deception and her behavior and this incredible list by you is the proof.

Grumman F6F by Willard Womack Via Flickr: F6F of VF-17 lands on water along side of the USS Hancock July 6, 1944. This may be a case of running out of fuel while on the approach to land on the carrier.
