Hi Dick and Chad,
For the past few weeks the Air Force and the Navy have been doing flyovers of medical facilities and communities in various parts of the country as a way to say thank you to those people who are working so hard to keep those afflicted with the Covid-19 virus alive. These are photos I put together in a little iMovie as my little way to say thank you to them as well, using pictures from the recent flyover of Baltimore, Washington DC and New York City by the Air Force’s Thunderbirds and the Navy’s Blue Angels a couple of weeks ago. If you watch the internet you will find various times where state Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve units are doing the same in many states across the nation.
This is all part of routine training so it doesn’t cost the taxpayer any additional money and it is a great way to say Thank you to those essential workers that, until recently, have worked behind the scenes and “under the radar” to keep us safe, healthy, well-fed, and clean.
Doug Johnson, MSgt, USAF, Ret.

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Two emails this week reacting to the Z Loks we talked about on your last week’s show.
I saw your segment on the zip lock and you said you can leave your luggage tied to a bench at the airport. No offense, but you should never leave your luggage unattended. If someone sees you lock a suitcase to a bench they will shut down that terminal and evacuate it all while trying to figure out whose locked luggage is tied to a bench. So be careful with that. 🙂 Karl
And email #2:
Hi Dick and Chad,
Last show you featured Hiplok Z Loks. I thought you might get a kick out of a bike lock at the completely other end of the spectrum, the Altorlocks SAF lock: https://altorlocks.com/products/saf-lock.
I first saw this on the LockPickingLawyer’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm9K6rby98W8JigLoZOh6FQ
There are lots of videos online of people trying to break open this giant lock.
Thanks a lot for the show, I always enjoy it. Robin Holtje
