He looks like a lovely relaxed dog. I bet he makes for a great planespotting partner.

It normally goes
Them “when’s the next train ? “

Of our 3 Labs, he is very relaxed and is allowed at work. And on Wednesday, was hanging with me at lunch, while I caught a C-5M and C-17 beating up our pattern.

I didn’t even know the C-5 still flew. Only ever seen C-17s
I knew C-5 are bigger but I just looked up a picture:

Hearing them is the difference. It was odd for me not to hear the whine of the old engines. These new ones are very quiet.

And a C-17 decided to visit as well
Ended the day with a pair of Panamanian Navy AW139s on their way north.

WOW, what an incredible difference in size.
Just been to a talk by Gp Capt Chris Finn on the development of airpower 1914/1916. He will do the second part 1917/1918 next year.
However, i met Albert Ball VCs great niece. I had met her once before at the iBCC. She has Albert Balls violin which we heard played by a member of the RAF Band from Cranwell.
Next month is the clubs open evening when members bring in WW1 memorabilia. She has promised to show a propellor from an aircraft Ball crashed. I will get a photo.
If anyone wants to go to see many unique bits of history (and tanks from WW1 @Victork2 ) food and accomodation is available at mine.

Oh man, I had a questionable load today … coulda used five axles on the trailer instead of four as I’m pretty sure I was overweight (120,000 lbs +) based on the PSI I was putting on my Air Ride. I could only do 20 mph in 10th gear going up one of my least favorite hills. Luckily I didn’t have to go too far and I knew there were no truck inspection stations along the way. 
Hey, I’m definitely no angel but I thought my strapping was impeccable!
