• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I think it's known as Ground Hog Day???:biggrin-new:
BTW Paul, were you one of the PBI at Philip Island just over a week ago?

Racing a 737 to the runway. That buggar was fast, but once you get a 727 going, it will not stop and I enjoyed being first on the runway. Take that, Southwest (allegedly an airline employing race car drivers as pilots in reality)!

Lovely sunset departure afterward. Since I was flying the -100 series with the bog standard -7A engines and was rather high on the gross weight scale, the initial climbout went at a leisurely pace.

From the "nasty surprises" bin: MIT threw an engine fire at me while intercepting the glideslope. Still managned a 150 ft/min landing though, despite all the extra torque. Repairing the dead engine was five times more expensive than the net gain from the flight. *Grr*
 
AH B-17 somewhere over North Carolina.

Speaking of canards, I've been mucking about with one of Piglet's "specials".

Personal ride:

Cazzie did one based on a McLaren race car scheme, so I went with a Lotus in a JPS type scheme.

The process of doing several paints to sort out a Paint Kit for upload sometimes reveals quirks.....and here's a great one...

Fuse/wing root intersection pinches some graphics...but only on one side....from part of the wing.
Means I have to revise the paint to avoid the anomaly....;p
