Not that nauseating series on TV.

I think there has been some improvement in aircraft smoke systems since I was a kid.

Great video Colonel.

I had my greatest thrill as a air show pilot for eight years in Europe at the last two days I flew before I retired.

It was in Holland and when I taxied in they parked me right behind the only airplane I would absolutely love to fly but never did.

It was a dark blue Grumman Tiger Cat the only one I ever saw in the airshow circuit and it was awesome, the power that thing has is unbelievable.

The best part of the whole two days was taxiing out behind it and watching it fly parked a few feet from the runway.....

Hows things in Smith Falls these days?

Meanwhile, back on the "reality" TV
Airshow, a Kardashian drives a jet-
powered outhouse:

There are rock stars, and there are
session musicians.  It is character flaw
of mine that I would rather watch
[url= Emmanuel[/url] play guitar, instead
of [url= Cyrus[/url].

I'm sure Miley Cyrus makes 1000000x
as much money as [url=[/url], but that's
ok - Eric Clapton says [url=[/url] is the
best he's ever seen.  Miley and the
Kardashians don't exactly crack the
Top 100.

That out house is probably more difficult to drive than the big truck. Looks pretty short coupled. Is there any video of it?

Flying under the dirt bikes looks a bit more dangerous (especially for the dirt bikes) than flying under a bridge.

It did not seem to be doing as much but I like the T-33.
