Dreaming of Flying















Ford Tri-Motor. Just look at the head room.


















Dreaming of a P-51. If only I had a spare 3-4 million for a new toy.

















It's even glorious on the ground.

















Just how cool is this Beech?

Oh yeah.. When I get my bi-annual flight review, I'll have pictures of a real "flying" squirrel. Heck, I may even have a Woodchuck peanut pusher, er.. I mean co-pilot.

I can push peanuts with the best of them if it means flight time.

Oh the comments I can make in this context about Squirrel and his nuts... but this is a family blog.

I too dream about flying...


...and having a job to pay for the flying lessons, but that's a story for another day, my furry friend.

P.S. Thank you for the crash course in low riders!!

Beech shredded most of the pusher turbo prop designs. That is a rare bird, most of them were leased and when the leases ran out, Beech did not want the liability and warranty obligation from selling them. Only a that were purchased outright remain. Protect it with your life!

Today was a good day..

I'm flying home today from Phoenix, AZ. First good thing: I was moved from my favorite seat in coach to a window seat in first class. Second thing: The guy sitting next to me did not want to talk and left me alone on the flight. Third thing: The flight was smooth and on time. Fourth thing: I'm walking out of the gate area at the airport when a TSA guy calls me over and ask me if I wanted an item, because if not he was going to throw it away. And you know it would be darn shame to throw out a nice bottle of...... Yes, that is correct, a nice 750ml bottle of Sauza Tres Generaciones 100% Puro De Agave Tequila. I'm now very...very ........tanked. Thank you TSA. I'm a 40% by volume Woodchuck.

snow...snow....snow

A free Herring or Walnut to who ever can guess my location.

People ask why.

Start of the trip...Here I am looking at the West end start of the Columbia River Gorge. Great River, trees, great places to eat, and sun, for a Woodchuck whats not to like? All of the pink are Cherry tress in bloom. The work is never done. The office is where the cell phone is. PS. No delay on take off and the AC blows cold and I always have a 1st class ticket.
