Don't laugh !! I still have a VHS recorder as well as a VHS/DVD recorder. I also have about 350-400 tapes, some "bought" (pre-recorded), but most are ones that I dubbed from another VCR as much as 33 years ago. Some were movies before they put that copy protection on, others were "adult" content (no protection). Many are ones that I sat and recorded "live" so that I could pause it during the commercials. I have most (maybe all) of "Star Trek: TOS", "Dr. Who" (the original 7 Drs.), "Blake's 7", but mostly movies.

After today, it's all historical.
I collect them for nostalgia, not to actually watch them, although tapes with rare content I've transferred to DVD so I can watch it without degrading the original tape.
I grew up going to blockbuster with my dad on the weekends so having the physical boxes to look at and touch is super nostalgic.
"I'm fucking furious, I'm violently angry, and I like it. If you don't know what that feels like then I feel bad for you"
Its funny you mention that. I was talking to a buddy at work about how that is something that only existed for part of a generation. It was a big deal, maybe a couple times a month we'd go to the video store (before blockbuster) and the family would rent a movie or two and get some popcorn and cokes. If we were really good kids maybe we got to pick out a movie we could watch after mom and dad went to bed.
My kids won't know what that is like. Looking back it was special.

No enemy of America would have ever been killed if they didn't show up to be killed. HDR
They used to fly them around here on training flights....didn't seem any louder than most planes.
Or airport was originally built to train B-24 and B-29 crews during WWII and they still use it for training pilots of big planes. United used to train pilots there at one time.
Never heard them taking off if that's what you mean but flying around they didn't seem especially loud even when they'd come in low for landing. Very cool to watch them train cuz they'd have the wings at different angles for various flights.....awesome to see a big plane like that banking and circling about overhead.
