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

Dreamlifter at Jabara Airport: Unusual Plane Pr0n

The modified Boeing 747 mistakenly landed at Jabara Airport late Wednesday. The pilot put it down on a 6000 foot runway. 
Nice piece of flying even if it was the wrong airfield. The big deal was getting it off the ground the following day.
The link is to a good sized gallery of the aircraft at Jabara and it's departure.
I will toss in a couple for starters!

On the ground on Wednesday night, the 20th.
Spirit Aero Systems had to send a tow tractor to Jabara from their facility on the south end of McConnell AFB on city streets to turn the aircraft around. It required a Wichita PD escort.
