Life Through Your Camera

[airtac]

Well mommy, I can relate to babbling and drooling (just finished dinner at the Old Pilots Home) Even the clapped up piece of worn out crap that I flew was fun--I mean this old pig had duct tape on patches, Narco coffee grinders for radios, and a duck for approaches but I was having fun.  Something cool about arriving on a ramp with 2 engines that fart fire, clatter like nails in a blender, then puke a gallon of oil on the ground when they grind to a stop in a cloud of smoke---departure is even more fun with larger flame farts, clattering, and smoke clouds...........it was one noisy bastard, my ears rang like Big Ben every day after getting home.    I used to call her "Earthquake Magoon"--ah the good old days
OOPS, they're coming with my meds--seeya

Not to change the subject (for how can one improve on a Wiener Man?), but here is S'Mom some years back, in the rain, having FUN on floats....  I've been finding old pictures and thought I'd bore you with a few.  

Nice Beech....



This ole' girl is parked at the airport where I work. The owner has another 18 taildragger at the strip at his house and a disassembled DC-3 down at Middlebury airport. And to top it all off Bob is over 80 years old and still turning wrenches on airplanes for a living.

Another day on the ramp...

[Turbomallard]

Does Bob wanna get married?!?   

 

He said turning WRENCHES, not wenches.

(I'm going to get slapped for that one.)

OH SURE, some other old coot comes along with a double breasted fire farting oil belcher and you forget I even exist

  Oh darn it Jim! I laughed out loud so hard at that description that I got a tummyache! Edit: And a headache 
Where do you get those from?

Frank

[airtac]

That's just the correct nomenclature for a Beech 18--rather descriptive, don't you think

HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!  Good one, El Duck-O!!!   
Jeez, between you and Daddy Airtac, I just about choked on my tea here!  Laughing too hard......   

I don't care WHAT he's turning....  does he want to get married?!?

Frank, I laughed out loud, too!  But Daddy Airtac seems to forget, just because I can LOOK at some other double breasted fire farting oil belcher, doesn't mean I don't love him best!  And, that's not even talking about the airplane.....                    

                     

[Rooster Cruiser]

Uhmmm...  Mom?  Does this mean you've done more than look??

BWAAAAHAAHAHAAAA
Almost shot my soup on the computer----

Of course I guess that's pretty descriptive nomenclature too---

[TheSoccerMom]

Aww, Sweet Pea, you know I'm just joshing!       

Remember that last conversation we had??  Well, just tell yourself "Yup, she's still a $#$%$, and an old #$#@, and a no-good, fixed-wing &*$%#."

Love, S'Mom***

He already is... Maybe he could adopt you though 

Brian

[TheSoccerMom]

Sounds good, Brian!  I'll check into it on the next trip there.   

By the way, you always have cool pictures, of neat stuff!  Thanks for sharing!
