    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    There is an air transport company in Alaska, that has bought up a huge share of DC-3 parts. They have a number of DC-3's and do sell to other people. Read about in in Air & Space a few years back.

    We got to tour into the 747 and look at the Shuttle. Someone complained that he wanted to see the inside of the Shuttle cockpit, so I asked my Step brother for some pictures. He was Chief Engineer for the Shuttle cargo arm for a good number of years. I may try and find them. Very interesting!

    Saw the Guppy and the NASA 747 used to transport the Shuttle, at Biggs Field, Ft Bliss Texas, back in 1986? Ugly dont cut it. The 747 with Shuttle landed there due to "unforeseen" engine red lights. The Guppy also. Biggs was an alternate landing site when these big birds had "situations".

    When I was a kid, 1962-1964 my family spent a lot of time in the Tahoe area. Its where I learned to water ski. Tahoe is a great place to water ski. Its so cold, you do NOT want to fall. Back then, Tahoe was stick city. Nothing there. I remember playing a penny slot machine for kids in the Mobil...

    If you look at both lists, the trend now days is about every 3-4 flight, is a Falcon 9, Space X flight. I am a rabid fan of Space X. Watch EVERY launch, live.

    Only saw the Blue Angles twice. 1967? at maybe El Toro, Calif, and then 1971? at Hill AFB, Utah. What a great show. I think a few years later the Thunderbird's had an accident at Hill. 1980?

    It was on German TV, this spring. A rarity. War movies are not, nor were they ever, popular here. I thought it was a good flick.

    Big Brass ones! I once watched the lowest flying C5A in the world. At Mcord AFB, Washington, about 1979-80. It was on a Saturday, and the wife and I were in the AFB to attend a collage course. Just before we were to leave, the crash trucks, fire trucks and everyone and his dog went in the...

    Back in the early 70's, I was on a field problem, in the summer. We were in a training area, outside Schweinfurt. Area M. We called it Area Mud. The Zoomies wanted to do some overflights, to train on low approach, over running of Air Defense sites. The First Shirt, two young LT's, a buddy, Garza...
