I love that they roll up to the test in a Connie and have a Starfighter for chase. It is like smelly Johnson’s greatest hits with those three. Why the didn’t have a P-38 there acting as camera ship I don’t know.

DC is a great kid city. We took our 5 and 8 year old a court leg of months ago. Lots of good park spaces and neat things to see.

We fly with our kids a lot. International and domestic. Both have passports and we use them. The are 8 and 5, so it is getting easier, but we learned a lot. Some notes:

Here are pics my son took last summer with a cheap digital camera. We took part in 4 days of the Hot Rod Powertour. It was an excuse to take a fun car trip around the southeast. We live in Atlanta, but are not natives and typically fly out for vacations. This was a fun road trip. It was cool to see what he focused on.…

Hi John. Welcome.

You got me. The XB-38 was Allisons.

GE 90 on a 747. Sure, it was part of the engine certification program, but swapping out a CF6, or similar, with a GE 90 restults with with a big old engine hanging really low to the ground.

I’m sure there whill be many cheap, missing trim, sagging spring Caddies in your future.

This will be this in 20 years...

The bubble came on then P-51D and later. The one in the video is a C. Mustangs are not that big when you get up next to them.

The PBY is a great looking aircraft when you consider its function.

my u see standing is that there is not a payout for each F-1 race like there is in NASCAR. It comes as s lump sum via FOM. That said, who knows.

no arguing with that, but Boemf has put extensive effort into developing titanium repairs. Airbus' efforts in that area are a bit fuzzy.

Actually, that is what I am afraid of. Airbus will just say to replace the skin panel. That is not nearly as easy as it sounds. They are attached with titanium hiloks and bonded to the structure. Also, they are going to be damn expensive.

I would love to hear more about the repairiblity of these new low cure temp composites. That is one aspect that has the commercial world worried. Significant damage to a 787 or A350 takes a lot to repair. If there are materials out there that could be used for repairs that have better characteristics that would be…

So this study recognizes a known fact on things that impact those who sit in a car and aren’t looking outside? So what?

I’d go in a heart beat. Got an old Gemini capsule and a Titan rocket? Let’s go.

Not to be a party pooper, but there is a fair chance that the travel coordinator for the team had a backup passport for him just in case something like this happened. Probably had to wait for them to bring it from the track or hotel up and maybe do a little dance for the visa. It is not normal to have more than one,…
