Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

How any in congress could support Airbus is beyond me beyond the obvious kick-backs from lobbiests.

The incident of the boom aside, this would in most mind's be a clear choice in securing and or providing American jobs!

Having been interested at one point in the NG-EADS entry for employment at Mobile, I simply hope everything is above board.
The A330 is a proven airframe and the potential for the A330-200F to undergo final assembly at Mobile is a boon for them. The 767 is long in the tooth and a 777 derivative is a very large aircraft.
Just trying to be objective. I have seen some of those old KC-135s. Some have been around since I was a little boy.
