Airmodel Conversion

Here’s Airmodel’s conversion kit… I started this one years ago – no where near completion to this day. But a neat little collection of Prototype conversions nonetheless.

Ah yes, but does the imported stuff taste the same as the Toon broon

Well she tastes great here, but I’ve only had 2 pints o’ the ‘broon’ in the UK … most of my time was spent with Smiths, Boddies, and Worthingtons (while shaking my head and laughing at the bottled ‘Bud and ‘Cold’ Guinness drinkers)

And I should add, my HP is imported anyways… from freakin’ NEW JERSEY?!?! and its in a rectangular SQUEEZE bottle… where’s my square glass bottle!?!

Oh well… memories of my favourite English breakfast… coffee and toasted bacon sandwiches with brown sauce while wrestling with the Times… ahhh.

The Aurora always seem strongest around here (44 N approx) in August/September (also helps to live in the ‘boonies’ as I do)… even then they appear more like greenish streaks pulsing/radiating from what appears to be a point overhead.

My most interesting view was during a flight back from Asia in Feb. 04 – I think I was the only passenger awake with my face against the window – somewhere over Alaska/Yukon area – 39,000 ft. north of 60 certainly puts a different perspective on the ‘Lights’… yet I still haven’t seen any diversity in colour… always just the green stuff.

MD-90 product I believe… note the twin contrails aft (and you can just make out the tailplane). SLAM-ER’s wing seems to be positioned a little further forward and with a little greater sweep.
