No Wonder Those Guys Jumped Out Of The Airplane. It’s Gotta Be Safer Than Landing With That Pilot
Mad skills.

For Reasons Not Fully Understood By Scientists And Theologians Alike, This Is Totally Awesome
All the landings between midmorning and evening at the San Diego Airport on the day after Thanksgiving. Try not to watch it more than fifty times; you have stuff to do.

I Don’t Know About You, But I Just Like Walking Around Saying “Ningaloo” Over And Over Again
You have to have a heart of stone not to enjoy saying Ningaloo.
From the YouTube page:
Clouds are a rare sight at Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia – we have about 330 days of sunshine with blue skies each year.
A good friend of mine, who owns a Microlight flight school up here, took me for a spin around some beautiful cloud formation in his Airborne XT912. Apart from a little bumpy take-off and landing, conditions were an absolute joy and we decided to go up to 10,000 feet.
The views of the cape and the reef were just spectacular, and with some cool tunes playing over the inter-com we could have stayed up forever.
Nice. About a century ago, people got the wacky idea that most everybody might like to ride around in an automobile. Fifty years later, we got the wacky idea that average people might like to fly to remote destinations on an airliner. Now guys are starting their own air forces and space programs.
