Happy Hour

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

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

Paris Air Show to start Monday: Air Capital Insider

This is the aviation blog of the Wichita Eagle. I still have interest in Wichita as two of my kids and three of my grandkids live there. And I did almost seven years in both Bombardier-Learjet and Hawker Beechcraft plants. And two of my grand daughters have dads who send child support due to the aircraft industry. More than mildly interested, as it were.
But that aside, Molly McMillin is on hand for the big do in Paris.......The main thing for all at Spirit Aerosystems in Wichita is the Boeing 747-8I Intercontinental.


On Sunday, Boeing’s first 747-8 Intercontinental arrived at Le Bourget, its international debut of the elongated 747.
The plane arrived from Seattle, flew at Mach .85, and traveled 4,400 nautical miles. It will be on display through Tuesday, then return to flight test.
