Speaking of Airplanes, it looks like I'll be on one to Frankfurt in late April of next year - Prepare thyself, Good sir!

Wot?!!! But we just got done rebuilding the city!





Not too mention that only recently retrieved and defused Limey blockbuster bomb ...

Anyway, if choice of transport is a B-17 again, we'll be prepared!



But in any case looking forward to it!  :mrgreen:

 That bomb even made the news here in Seattle, I'll be on a Boeing for the Flight, I think Luftansa still flies 747s and I'd like to ride one one before they're all gone.

The 747's I worked on mostly only had 3 windows per side upstairs in the lounge...

... and as for the blue, they also had a three-bladed prop, a wing on each side, a tail, a nice clean sweep back from the cockpit, those funny little wing things on each side at the back, tail-sitters with nice round rubber wheels... (tumbleweed rolls past)
There will still be mutterings when I've been placed on my blazing Viking longboat, I guess...
Let it be a lesson to all... don't screw up your recognition skills when you play with the big buoys or it may result in "friendly-fire" incidents... :mrgreen:

Room at the Inn if the return flight has to make a detour to Inverness due to excessive intake of Schnapps during stay in Frank N Furter and certain passengers being thrown off...  ;) Do the Seattle-Eu flights take the Polar route...?

When in Frankfurt, stay away from the plate weights in the gym!  :o

Just stay away; the airport has become the biggest piece of shit since LAX (I used to actually like it, but somehow they managed to screw it up).

(sorry Uwe, for the above and also not trying to meet up last July but it was only like an hour between flights and I spent the entire time in ridiculopus lineups; thank god for kids getting you through the shorter family /disabled line because otherwise I woulda missed me connecting flight)

Ken invented both the Hellsair and the Corcat as Pacific Theater warbirds.

Good deal. Is the NR a sixties?

Yep, that's my '67 IV.  I posted pics with it before but I think they've been lost in the great photobucket implosion.

An American tragedy only comparable in scope with the near-extinction of the buffalo.  :-\

 I have to say, it's really a gigantic pain in my delicate ass to get into PB and try to retrieve my stuff, mere words fail in expressing my hatred of that outfit!
