I don't approve of political jokes...I've seen way too many of them get elected!

For me, the Eagle, the Apollo 11 lunar lander! If I do not come home, I do not care.

I watched it run-up and take off from Nameo near Edmonton and I still get goosebumps when I remember that plane and the sound of two roaring Merlins flashing down the runway!
The Judge.... has impeccable taste in jets.. Scooters for ever.
The ME-109 was somewhat of a widow-maker from what I have gathered and the cocpit was absolutely minuscule.
The Hurri on the other hand had room for two dances!
Taking off in a Goose is one of my fond memories. The company I worked for had one and a Beech King Air, Sikorsky S-76, Bell 206 not to mention two Martin Mars water bombers.
Ahhh.. those were the days.

I'm kind of new to posting, but couldn't resist this one. My dream would be to retire young, go to Tanzania and fly ultralights on game census and anti poaching. Sleeping bag and a gun....
