This story follows on from my first cycle, see first comment below for details.
Riding to & from school was my only intention but I soon developed a love for cycling. I used to look at the top of the range Viscount – the Aerospace Pro – in the window of my local cycle shop with envy.
I decided I wanted a lighter, faster more sporty cycle for weekends. I joined a local cycling group for weekend rides and the wider wheels with heavy duty tyres on my school cycle whilst great for commuting, weren’t great for fast day rides.
I saved up and bought the cycle a year later and my mother allowed the part exchanged of her cycle, which she’d ridden once and decided it wasn’t for her (the one I’d used in the garden to learn to ride on), and after school some nights and weekends, away I went.
The Aerospace Pro was dogged by comments about the front forks (death forks) but I rode thousands, really many thousands of miles on them without issue but for those who want to read about the issue it’s here:

However, I did rebuild them in the image above with new forks. This is mostly because I’m not the thin little cyclist I once was. I have retained the old forks and when I put them in storage there was nothing wrong with them.
This one never got to being carried about in boxes, but it needed the full rebuild, so new tyres, inner tubes cables, bar tape etc. It still rides like a really fast bike.
A new company Firefly attempted to launch a much smaller, cheaper rocket last night at Vandenberg Space Force -- unfortunately they experienced (in their words) "An Anomaly" 2 minutes into flight and had to abort the mission over the Pacific Ocean.
Actually check that, significant portions of metal and insulation have actually floated to the ground just east of Santa Maria, now that's a little scary and is NOT supposed to happen.
Starting from the beginning when they delayed the launch an hour it was sort of doomed to failure.
My dictionary defines Anomaly as "Something abnormal; an irregularity" --
Those Texans sure have a gift for understatement.

Metrea Aerospace Boeing KC-135 Tanker departing from the RIAT 2023 air show.
Metrea Aerospace has 4 KC135 aircraft and supports Military operations.
The Boeing KC-135 aerial refuelling tanker was developed from the Boeing 717, a shorter and narrower aircraft based on the Boeing 707 airliner. First entering service in 1957, eventually 803 KC-135s were produced between 1955 and 1965. In addition to the KC-135, the basic C-135 has also been developed into a number of specialist roles including the RC-135 Rivet Joint electronic reconnaissance aircraft which is operated by both the USAF and the RAF. The remaining KC-135s have been upgraded with CFM56 engine giving the type 60% greater range and is 25% more fuel efficient.
Riffing off the new City space sets. I'd like to enlarge this to a 48x48 baseplate (more room to add gantry cranes, etc) but I need to pick up a couple more of those "bunny suit" figs. Also the back wall should suggest air filters more than what I chucked onto this one.
