Space Cowboys

It stars Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, and many other stars. It’s about a retired astronaut who has to return to space for a mission and he insists on partaking in the mission with his equally as old counterparts. It was a pretty good movie, and I’d actually recommend it.

I’ve found IMGur.com to be a good site. It’s as simple as clicking a button, selecting the photo to upload, and then it uploads. It gives you a list of URLs on the right that you can use for certain cases such as uploading to a forum, facebook, etc…

You can make an account there and keep your photos in one database, or you can do it without an account for just a quick upload here and there.

Pepsi-Cola used to have its own skywriting plane, a Travel Air D4D. In 1979, they used it to spell out MARRY ME SUE for a TV commercial. The message could be seen for miles.

I don’t think I’ve ever learned so much, and laughed so much at the same time. Thanks guys. This is a great post. I just wish I had more to contribute. I’ve got nothing at the top of my head, but I’ll start brainstorming.

That’s certainly impressive that the A320 was able to land safely. It’s quite unfortunate for the helicopter crew though. Great point by ThreeSpool – 20 crew members is very excessive. I’ll be paying attention to this story to find out more information as it comes. I don’t think this article has it’s facts straight currently.

Welcome to the forum Helpangelz. There are many credible places to learn to fly in the UK. There are also many many books on the subject and schools. I wish you luck in your journey, and you should certainly keep us informed with how things are going.

Haha, this thread is hilarious! I needed a good laugh, thanks guys. Speaking of spelling though, grammar is also very important.

“It’s time to eat grandma.” Have two very different meanings.
