    The outcome?
    It is a bit fuzzy due to time passed but at the time the boat and passengers were in a Norwegian fjord ferried to shore from a larger vessel and headed to church.

    SPLLLLLllll
    Church/religious services work just as well on board. Prayer is when the knee goes down.
    Diffidently a wench removal service.
    I'm not complaining, just have to realize these things., ☺☺

    When that pram came back (IF?), I'm sure it was much lighter..

    I wouldn’t know, been an atheist since the day I started thinking, age 12 or so,
    Nah, nobody in their right mind would remove women, or wenches if you will: Society would break down in filth and homosexuality like in prisons, let’s keep ‘em around. :confused:

    Nah, there is room for everyone, even Karen’s, they are harmless if you look the other way.
    Live and let live is a good philosophy, try it and you may like it.:cool:

    No camera tricks here, just the commercial equivalent of an unrestricted climb:

    Since the airshow was at YMX (where the A220 is assembled) Airbus showed off one of their FTVs with the A220 chief test-pilot at the stick.

    Yep, Bombardier has been doing sidesticks a la Airbus since they started the CSeries (now A220) I think. The newer Globals all use side-stick controls as well.

    One of my threads did a vid on the modern game stick vs ole yoke control a while back (AirBus vs Boeing).
    MentourPilot
    I tried to find that ole vid, no joy. Better searchers should find it. It was funny.

    I've only pushed 172/182s in real life.
    I had a joystick simulator on my computer.
    With my swamp attitude, I prefer the yoke.

    Right handers in the left seat/left handers in the right seat must have some issues.

    I put a lot of work into my photography over the last year or two, which simultaneously re-ignited my passion for airshows. Motorsport had taken up a lot of my time over the years, and I hadn't been to an airshow since I was a kid... and I've realized how much I missed them!

    That's a poof or AI pic.
    Look at the bow, no tension on the waist band.

    What does a swim trunk pull string feel or look line on you?

    Looks like the pull string is printed on the fabric and maybe it is…

    I joined a boating club recently and today we had a nice trip down the river to Ormond Beach using the City Docks for moorage and a burger joint nearby for food and drinks, 14 boats with 50 members,
    My tub to the right: River Rat 5.
    These guys and gals call themselves a “A drinking Club with a Boating Problem” rather than the other way around. Works for me.:cool: IMG_9491.jpeg

    Now I am love again.
    This Romsdal trawler is for sale and she rings all my bells.
    I would need a crew, especially in the engine room, but wifey can be trained to work down there now and then, lots of space down there and who needs an air conditioned control if we run the fans occasionally?
