That is one good looking aircraft…

Great… Now I have this stuck in my head

I found out long ago
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It’s a long way down the Holiday Road
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)…

Oh man. I miss those. My folks had one that was dark blue with wood paneling, and a big ole diesel motor. Thing was SO smooth. Plus you could roll coal if people tailgated ya.

I actually looked for one to buy about a year ago. I would drive one in a minute!

National lampoons vacation was the first thing to jump in to my mind too … just needs the wood panels on the sides and the wally world sticker

Victork2 · February 23, 2024, 9:18pm

Wonder what will end up taking the place of these new fangled glass panels? I bet whatever it is will make the glass panels look as obsolete as steam gage panels do now.

3D Head mounted displays… Or maybe holographs.

Something like this maybe….

BeachAV8R · February 27, 2024, 3:01am

They won’t need anything inside the plane…there won’t be anyone there to read them…

PaulRix · February 27, 2024, 4:22am

Maybe so…but not today.

My reward for bragging about flying from San Diego to Austin in 2 hours last week…

Ugh!

BeachAV8R · February 28, 2024, 5:27pm

That’s King Air type ground speeds…! Was there any drop off at FL430? Sometimes we can get over the winds. Did that going to Birmingham a couple weeks ago…430 winds were about 90…at 360 they were about 180. Pretty sharp gradient with lots of turbulence. Definitely core jet stream…

PaulRix · February 28, 2024, 5:39pm

I’m flying a 600 series Challenger…. We top out at FL410, and only when we are light. Mostly I’m stuck in the upper 30’s. Did I ever mention that I miss the Global?

Plaque at the local post office.

Shooting is part of who I am. Raised with it, made a living with it for 16 years, its just part of my cultural identity. Much like aviation, its better when shared. So, my brother and I took his boys to a gun show today. Anyone else an enthusiast?

Heres some highlights:

Um…no

A little $4 reminder of my Mum

I very neary added this to my collection

A little P90. Stargate anyone?

edit this is Sig’s new Bullpup.

Sig Scorpion. Sweet little gun.

But only if you promise to respect me in the morning.

I certainly am. Mainly because we arent allowed them over here. I like our gun laws like they are.

But I very much enjoy looking at them. Occasionally we get deactivated versions at shows to hold and fumble with. I held an M16A2 with a 203 launcher on it and it fit me like a glove. Absolutely perfect. Which is cool as its always been my favourite
