There are 2 of these huge J79 Howler Engines propelling this Mack Truck of an airplane. In my teens and twenties this was the "hot" airplane. Living in Europe close to the runway at Ramstein, the noise of these planes would crack windows and caused the ceiling to come down in the workshop next to my apartment, luckily nobody was there at the time. When they flew there was incredible noise and they left a nice smoky trail. In this model the carrier arresting hook is stowed. Designed in the fifties, both the engine and the plane itself were stunning examples of very advanced design, which was taking huge jumps as more and more wind tunnel data became available. This was, and still is an excellent airplane and thousands of them were built. The development time was very short. Compare this device to the current F35 which is a hopeless overweight and underperforming dud. I would not be surprised at all if this old plane could easily take on an F35 in a flyoff.
The Dynamite Girls workshop at the Integrity convention was awesome, it made me wish I was there ^^
I've been lucky to win Eltin (even if she has the Sooki mold she's very different) and one of the outfits (another Jet Set girl is on her way), she's amazing!
Human advancement in the face of awesome nature.
Taken out of my office window.
You'll need to view it in large size!
Flash bulbs still popped for Jeter, despite his having broken the Yankee Stadium record for most career hits two nights before.
A note from Beau.Vrolyk...
Jet Services V sailed into Hiva Oa in the Marquesas when I was there. Four nutty French guys were sailing her from France to Tahiti. They had made it from the Galapagos to the Marquesas in an astounding 17 days, or something like that - it's been a long time -- I recall they had only breakfast cereal, beer and cigarettes aboard.
I caught up with a couple of them in Tahiti a couple of months later and they were having a ball taking tourists for daysails aboard the monster catamaran. They would take folks from Tahiti to Moorea for lunch then home again in the afternoon -- quite the ride.
Watching that thing exit the harbor via the passage in the reef at about 18 knots was always a blast, especially when a wave would mount up and get them a little airborne.
