That's a BIG aircraft!<br /><br />Andy: I got Janis and loved her. She could be over the top at times but dang! What a voice... That said, I'm not willing to pick betwen the two versions of this particular song. They're both great.<br /><br />Moogie: I don't think Pelosi will be Speaker after November. <i><b>;-)</b></i><br /><br />Gordon: I never ate ANY food at events I went to back in Ol' Blighty, back in the day. It ALL sucked.

We were close to their home base, and now and then they'd do a touch and go on our strip.<br /><br />I went to the 1982 Farnborough show as well. I was there with the crowds, though. I would have loved to have been there on industry day!<br /><br />I distinctly remember a food wagon that was selling "beefburgers." They were allegedly beef patties sitting in a pan of greasy water. I did not order one.Gordon Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772014586181361069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-72471259908426532592010-03-21T14:12:49.820-06:002010-03-21T14:12:49.820-06:00I can't wait til Nancy is deposed from the Spr...I can't wait til Nancy is deposed from the Spraker's seat, but she does make for good editorial cartoons.<br /><br />veriword: "caverer" I promise!

A truly impressive aircraft, especially in flight.<br /><br />"The British aerospace industry is but a shadow of its former self..."
