I know it’s not much but I was like a wide-eyed 8 years old.
I don’t recall ever seeing a 747 before.
I also have a video of it being sprayed with anti-ice solution, but it looks like its file type is unsupported so I must convert it first.
One of my earliest memories was flying on a TWA 747 from San Francisco to Japan back in the early 80s. My poor Mom…hauling my brother and I to Korea to meet my Dad to live there for 2 years. I remember sleeping on the 747 under the seat…and walking forward and seeing the curve of the nose section. I got plastic TWA wings from that flight. I really wish my Mom would have taken me up to see the cockpit. Those were the days when you could have walked into the flight deck and I’m sure there were dudes that would have loved talking to a kid while they ticked off the hours towards Japan.
Went up to Boone and did some snow-tubing at Hawks Nest. It wasn’t that cold… About -3C … But the wind was whipping up to 30 to 40 mph. It was actually blowing smaller children off the conveyor belt…which was kind of funny. The drive up and down the mountain was pretty treacherous. Fortunately my Honda pilot has all wheel drive… There were tons of cars that were getting stuck on the uphill. Particularly those with front wheel drive…
My boys …my goofy older brother in the background… and his two boys…
They eventually shut the mountain down at 4 PM and canceled all of the night tubing because the temperatures and wind were so bad… And the tubing runs were icing up causing people to hit the bottom berm at dangerously high speeds.
Its a log stacker. The tyres on the low loader its sat on are shagged and took out the airbags and lines so some lucky idiot making horrendous life choices gets to sit under it all day putting it back together.
I whinge but its actually been easier than i thought as its the little trailer not the big one i had assumed it was when they called it in
You should see their wood Chipping machine. Its pulled behind a Class xerion tractor and it makes that look tiny. Which is no small feat. That tractor is bloody enormous
