I've been looking for the whole story.  Does anyone have a link to it, or have it saved somewhere so I can show it to some friends?

thanks.

one of the truly epic threads of arfcom.  it's both a classic AND epic.

I did an archive search but to no avail.  It was a good thread indeed!

So good that it should be added to the reading list and discussed in the book forum.

I don't even remember the title.  If someone can post it (title), I'll dig up the archived thread.


Was it even during the 'new' ar15.com?

Think it was 'Treetop's flaming backpack' or something like that

ETA- Or maybe 'My day at the airport'?

cool, thanks.
I didn't even see the original thread.  Maybe a year ago, there was some thread where all of the old farts (no offense ) were referring to the story, and the noobs were asking about it, so someone quoted the story in the thread.

Yep, you are correct!
I read that post when Treetop first put it up - June 2001 as I remember.

Edit to add an "I got it you don't" smiley...."
