I can't wait to attend EAA Air Venture 2021. They are planning to do most of the events for the 75th Anniversary of the end of WWII this year since it was cancelled last year. I'm also getting a ride on a P51 for my father. Planning to record everything. I'm already getting excited!

Prettiest bird out there. Love those GE90s



I'm more partial to the 787 or the A350-1000, but seeing those 90s hanging from the wings is pretty awesome

And for the ugliest, I used to work across the runway from a dozen of these things. They were loud enough that if I was on a webex in a flight line trailer I'd have to go on mute until it passed.

The new re-engined M model is not nearly as loud.

F-16s are dead sexy. My second favorite of all time.
The two-seater version ruins it of course, but not nearly as much as those damn CFTs they started slapping on

The last few I took ten years ago, so the resolution and noise are not the best. The rest are not mine. The NASA rocket fuel transporter pic was one my old man took at GGG.

That's cool, I didn't know that either. We only saw that one time, but I often see NASA T-38s flying here, which I am assuming are astronauts in training.

This is not the best quality photo, but this is a picture I took in 2012 when I was working on the roof of the Fox News building in Manhattan. The Enterprise shuttle was floating on a barge going down the Hudson River shortly before being lifted onto the deck of an aircraft carrier at the Intrepid Museum. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo when they were lifting it on deck.

Was the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid?

The idea of washing the airplane. Gonna wax it too? Japanese are fastidious about appearance, even up to and beyond efficacy.

One example - we had a batch of Japanese F-16 drag chute D Rings (the frangible part that keeps you from ripping off the end of the airplane) that were failing prematurely. Japanese said our design was bad.

Turns out when that batch of D Rings had been delivered to the chute installer, the Japanese air force quality rep had raised hell because there were runs in the paint. Mind you - the paint met all spec requirements, it just wasn't pretty because of a few runs.

He insisted the parts be stripped and repainted. But ALL the "bad" paint - every damn molecule - had to be stripped to assure it was perfect. So a heated acid bath was used to strip the parts - which also removed the temper from the 7050 aluminum and thus weakened the parts.

So - once they looked perfect - they were about 30% weaker and thus broke prematurely. The Japanese finally agreed out design was fine, but never admitted their own people were the ones who ****ed up the parts.

That - and them running in the office to prove how hard they're working - are just some of what makes them a PITA to work with.

I know, they took the fun right out of it. Same as the KC-135 E models getting parked.
