@Parodyjeffx @grok I believe the lower half w/ the stock facing down is in his pants & the upper portion in his backpack. Goes to the top of the stairs of the building, assembles his rifle with two simple screws, and does his evil deed. He did not disassemble the rifle or change clothes on the roof

@barstoolsports @stoolpresidente What a series! Renaming the tournament after Beef is likely not possible from a branding perspective, but a great way to honor him is to name the 1st tee shot off #1 after him since he took the first shot. Or Round 1 is called Beef Kickoff…

@shootermcgavin All he’s missing is a cigarette. Dude’s a legend!

@MastersBehind Callum should be up for Best Actor and not Best Supporting Actor. He by far performed the best and had the biggest arc and character development throughout the series.

@MartinSkold2 Not true. There were 3 primary sources; Masters of the Air, Wing and a Prayer, and Luck of the Draw. Those airmen who didn’t write a book gave countless of interviews over the years which were all used as source material. In addition, there are several other books on the 100th.

@UaWarRoom @Esuprastus Aside from the end credits of Ep 9, there are several interviews on YouTube of Crosby and Rosenthal of the 100th BG, not to mention the documentary called “The Bloody Hundredth” AppleTV released same day as Ep 9 which showcases the real airmen that flew these missions.

[Joseph Carty 8th AF - 100th BG @WildBlueYonder0]

@UaWarRoom @Esuprastus Masters of the Air is also real stories from real guys, & many of the actors were cast perfectly for the real men they portrayed. I agree, some of the CGI was weak, but some was incredibly real and done really well especially considering they didn’t use 1 real B17. Pulled it off!

@N1GHTM4NC0METH The Pacific score is one of the absolute best. Have you heard this 118 track full soundtrack version with a lot of Blake Neely’s unused versions? I listen to this ALL THE TIME!

@CinemaTweets1 The electronic synthesized score is the only drawback for me. The cinematography is out of this world.

@notskarsgard How about him be the new young James Bond?

[Joseph Carty 8th AF - 100th BG @WildBlueYonder0]

@ShaneEthridge The American bombers were flying at 200 mph and the German fighters were flying 300-400 mph making the closing speeds between the two at 500+ mph. They were gone in a flash. Every other film has portrayed it incorrectly. So yeah, basically mach 12.

@DannySt_Fortune Don’t backtrack now Danny Boy. As I pointed out, you previously reduced the entire campaigns as bizarre, clumsy, or incompetent. If you’re second guessing yourself now, I wouldn’t write that article if I were you. Sit this one out.

[Joseph Carty 8th AF - 100th BG @WildBlueYonder0]

@DannySt_Fortune But you reduce the strategies as whole as bizarre
/clumsy rather than a few instances. Your post serves as a disservice to this country and those who fought and died in WW2. You are part of the degradation and soon enough, the decline will be too sharp to overcome.

[Joseph Carty 8th AF - 100th BG @WildBlueYonder0]

@DannySt_Fortune Your criticisms of America’s execution of various aspects if WW2 is indicative of how we’ve slipped. There’s nothing bizarre, clumsy, or incompetent about America strategy and challenges in WW2. I would define it as persevering against the unknown being driven by evil forces.

[Joseph Carty 8th AF - 100th BG @WildBlueYonder0]

@DannySt_Fortune What’s bizarre is that America will never be brave enough, bold enough, and united enough to achieve victory in a major war as we were in WW2. Oh how we’ve lost our honor and allowed ourselves to become each other’s enemy instead of looking outward. Now that’s bizarre.

[Joseph Carty 8th AF - 100th BG @WildBlueYonder0]

@MrDTJames Masters of the Air is actually an incredible show with large scale production that is hardly seen these days. Curious what makes it “terrible”? I believe that opinion to be disingenuous and misguided because there’s plenty to like about the show.

@SebastianTA @Champs707007 Cool story bro!

[Joseph Carty 8th AF - 100th BG @WildBlueYonder0]

@SebastianTA @Champs707007 That says more about you than anything else; pay attention and the characters are introduced and described. I had a few gripes about the CGI on Ep 1/2 but not for the following eps. You’re just sour Barry knocked out your grandpa at the bar. Elvis comparisons are weak!

[Joseph Carty 8th AF - 100th BG @WildBlueYonder0]

@SebastianTA @Champs707007 The storyline is superb especially given it’s all TRUE! There were only a few instances where the CGI could’ve been better, but it really steps up beyond the first two episodes. Ep 5 displayed breathtaking cinematography, and the story is unfolding further. Incredible series!
