  3. You should hang out a sign something like this on your front door. Because they're sure to be more advanced than us if they can travel so far and fast. Therefore their devices will be wonderful compared to ours and so they will think we are sure to want to buy things. But it's probably a trick, so don't buy for a year or two until you know their products are safe.

  7. So glad I can still see these Icelandair 757s at Manchester. Happy 44th Anniversary to the "Flying Pencil"! My 757 Journey at EGCC actually started off with filming the final flights of Jet2 757s - including G-LSAE, LSAN and the oldest 757 at the time LSAI 🙂 The thought of the cold still bites my fingers !

    He leaves the balloon and finds his prey. The prey is the eagle's slave who for some odd reason feeds and keeps the eagle in a nice warm cage. And often drives him in a car out to prime hunting locations.

    As a long time skier in my earlier years I've always been a fan of the winter Olympics. I watched everything from hockey to the slalom. Sometimes curling would be on and I turned it off. I figured I might as well go sit on the porch and the grass grow, But this year I took an interest in it. There's a lot of physics involved with bodies colliding with bodies at various speeds to accomplish goal. And a lot of strategy involved in figuring it all out to your advantage. Which way to curl the stone. Attaining the correct release velocity. And your team mates 'sweeping' the course to steer the ball to the exact spot you want it at the proper speed to wipe your opp…

    Pretty soon flying across the country will be like crossing in a wagon and crossing the ocean akin to crossing on the Mayflower. https://viewfromthewing.com/no-lights-no-food-no-recline-the-5-hour-american-airlines-flight-where-even-the-toilets-were-shut-off/ Several years ago I saw a picture of a pair of passengers in wide seats with trays holding a sumptuous looking dinner. One of the passengers was saying, "Think of what air travel will look like 20 years from now." Noel

    Something new happened for the first time yesterday and I have no idea what app or feature caused it. I'm flying the BS Baron in MSFS2024 in Australia on Say Intentions but i dont think any of those are a factor. I'm also using Garmin Pilot and have my Bose Aviation headset bluetoothed to my phone where I'm listening to Pandora and have SI ATC audio set to go while my computer speakers play all the other sounds. While I have Garmin Pilot on my phone, I;m using it on a tablet and not sure if its bluetoothed to my headset or not. So as I'm about to takeoff I hear over the headset what runway I'm on and how much feet is left. Then when I came in to land, I heard an anno…
