“Air Force One” is the callsign for any aircraft on which the President happens to be traveling. While it’s most commonly assigned to the famous 747’s as seen on TV, the callsign could also be used for a small puddle-jumper or other civilian craft, if the need arises.
But when the President is in his helicopter isn’t the call sign Marine One, not Air Force One…?
Yes, because the Marine Corps operates those helicopters. And when George W. Bush flew aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, the aircraft in which he flew was designated Navy One.
Robin Hood and his merry men were said to be clothed in Lincoln green.
Robin Hood legend has it that he was either a Saxon peasant or Robert, Earl of Huntingdon. During the time of Richard the Lionheart, with whom Robin is associated, the Earls of Huntingdon were members of the Scottish royal family.
King John, Richard Lionheart’s younger brother, is depicted in a mural about Magna Carta at the Old Cuyahoga Courthouse in Cleveland, Ohio. Loki walks in front of it in a scene from The Avengers, filmed there (at 0:03 here): Loki Avengers scene Germany - YouTube
Several provisions of the Magna Carta are in force as part of the statute law of Saskatchewan.
(Is there a connection between 19631 and 19632 that I’m missing…?)
I’m guessing it’s the word “building.”
In play:
The statute law of the State of Ohio is contained in the Ohio Revised Code, last overhauled in 1953 but with many additions since then.
I thought that Elendil’s Heir popped in ahead of **Bullit[\b]'s post, which flowed naturally from the Challenger post in 19630.
In play: the Civil Code of Lower Canada was enacted in 1866, just a few months before Lower Canada became Quebec.
The Rosette Stone, discovered in Memphis in the ancient area of Lower Egypt, has four languages engraved on it: Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Coptic – and English. The latter was a short inscription on the side of the stone. It was added to memorialize the discovery.
Rosetta Stone language study software offers 30 different languages, including Spanish Spanish and Latin American Spanish, US English and British English, Irish and Dari, among other languages.
Canada has two official languages at the federal level: French and English. All federal statutes are in both languages, and either language can be used by anyone in Parliament or the federal courts. An accused on a criminal matter has the right to a trial in their official language, with the judge, the court clerk and the Crown prosecutor being required to use that official language.
This word: killed.
19632 was actually meant to play off of 19630, but was ninja’d. killed is the connection between the two questioned.

The French poodle is believed to have originated in Germany, where it was known as the Pudelhund, meaning “puddle hound,” or a dog who splashed about in water. The breed was standardized in France, where it was commonly used as a water retriever.
The French Army was wracked by mutinies late in World War I, when repeated suicidal charges across no man’s land were ordered by incompetent commanders. The aftermath of one such (fictional) mutiny is shown in the Stanley Kubrick film Paths of Glory.
The first four Stanley Cup champions were all Montreal teams - three by the Montreal Hockey Club and one by the Montreal Victorias. The next two champions were the Winnipeg Victorias, followed by ten straight Montreal team. The first Stanley Cup champion not from Montreal or Victoria were the Ottawa HC, in 1903. The first American champion were the Seattle Metropolitans, in 1917.
The 101 Grey Cup was held at Taylor Field, Regina, in November 2013. Taylor Field was named after Piffles Taylor, a WWI vet (Royal Flying Corps) who played quarter-back for the then-Regina Rugby Club.
Taylor had lost an eye in battle, and wore a glass eye. One game had to be temporarily halted because his glass eye got knocked loose in a play, and all the players had to hunt on the field to retrieve it. Someone found it, Piffles put it back in his eye socket, and play resumed.
After chopping off her husband’s penis, Lorena Bobbitt left the apartment with the severed penis, drove a short while, then rolled down the car window and threw it into a field. Realizing the severity of the incident, she stopped and called 911. After an exhaustive search, it was located, packed in ice obtained from a local 7-11, and taken to the hospital where John was being treated.
The penis was reattached by Doctors James T. Sehn and David Berman during a nine-and-a-half-hour operation.
