He broke through the time vortex surrounding Texas which keeps it perpetually in the previous century. :lol:

hola!! :hug:

apparently this is a "job" :rolleyes:

yes, breaking through the clouds and flying along skimming the tops of the clouds is one of my favorite things while flying and the going dark is me editing the video so that's a splice break and the beep is an alert to 1000 feet to go for pre-select on the altitude - in the case here, FL240. On the trip back to Houston the next day we filed and flew at FL250 - anything higher on a trip this short would have been moot as it only takes roughly 40~45 minutes wheels up to wheels down

shhhhh! we like it that way :)

Nice try...

Hard to believe that thing flew. At all.

The Shepherd.

I read that one once upon a time, in Reader's Digest Condensed Books, I believe. Good story.

Hughes flying the model of the "Spruce Goose".

Model airplane controllers have come a loooooooooooooooooooooooong way.

Although, I kinda like Howard's.

That pic gets cooler the longer I look at it.

Howard had the money to both pay for the controller and also pay for some guys to haul it around for him.

Government money, war effort money, and government channels for supplies.

Want a brand spanking new Boeing?

Waitwhut? A cargo plane costs more than the passenger version?! Re: The 747s.

From here.

List prices, they're negotiable.
Plus there are numerous options, undercoat, scotchguard, gap insurance, etc.

Says here the fuel capacity of the 737-300 is 4,720 gallons

... of "Jet A" which goes for around $4/gallon... I'm thinkin' the Sheetz or the Wawa will have it for $3.89

So what you're saying is, if I save up all my money, I might be able to fuel up one of these things in 2022.

Teddy was the first president to fly...
