gotta love the old interior design of the older 1947-1967 De Havilland Beaver, (but not the new color screen)

Thanks Kim!
19 year old co-pilot of this Sikorsky Sky Crane simply knew what she wanted to do after high school, and took the classes to get the certifications, now, she's helping to put out wildfires
Ann Hansen was in Mariposa, California, battling the Ferguson Fire in this CH 45 while working for Helicopter Transport Services and has the opportunity to work on fires as well as other special projects.
It might seem shocking, but, have you considered how many 18 and 19 year olds in the military are flying this, that, or driving a tank, submarine, or ship?
Probably not, as 18 and 19 year olds only seem to get publicity if they are driving in the oval tracks and winning trophys in Nascar.
So, this is a refreshing break from sticker maniacs who have sponsor patches all over their fire suit.
Adding to her interest in flying was the fact that her father also wanted to be a helicopter pilot. Only he never took the opportunity.
“I always had that in my head growing up,” she says of wanting to fly a helicopter.
Ten days after she graduated high school, she started in flight school at Rocky Mountain Rotors, in Belgrade, Mont. Shortly thereafter, she transferred to Jerry Trimble Helicopters flight school in Oregon.
The huge helicopter can drop about 2,600 gallons of water or retardant.

now we're talkin'. This is been named the RipnRiv, and it's out playing with Optima Challenge cars! From John Lyons fabrication, and was featured in the Riview Volume 32 #6.

and abracadabra, poof, just like that they were gone.
Make sure your will is written, and someone in your family is ready to step up, take control, and see to it that if you wanted specific things to go to a certain person, that it's all going to be taken care of. Because it's a crazy world out there, and some random stuff happens. The van on the far left couldn't see anything on the right, like the full speed semi

There is only so many hours of OT a cop can milk a backpack and some yellow tape... so, if you get fed up with waiting, expect obscene amounts of overreaction from the cops 'cause you're hurting their paycheck
A suspicious package investigation took an unexpected turn after a fed-up cyclist emptied its contents onto the street before police tackled him to the ground.
The bag was reported to police after it was spotted on top of an electrical box on Wisconsin Avenue in Milwaukee shortly before 7am.
Cops moved the bag into an intersection, stopped all traffic, and irritated people with better things to do than waste tax dollars on the entire police department doing anything possible for OT. Lots of it. Time and a 1/2 really pays well, you know?

Mobil1 full synthetic vs Amazon basics full synthetic, result? Amazon is a s good as Mobil 1, so price compare to save money
This same testing guy has some other interesting tests, but none are exactly what I HOPED for
he tests penetrating oils, but, not the 5 biggest names in that field. I've never heard that Seafoam even made one. By the way, the only other one he had that I'd heard of was by common name brand CRC.
So, of course, Seafoam worked best, closely followed by CRC, and somewhere in there was brake fluid and WD 40. WD 40 might be useful as a penetrating oil, but that is NOT what it's designed for. It's a water dispersant. THAT is what it's for, and if you use it to stop squeaks in door hinges, well, why not? It works for that too, like any oil would.
Anyway, great guy, does good tests, FAR MORE than I thought anyone would, who is out of pocket for every test.
By the way, Slick 50? Avoid it. Turns out it was a scam, and his test backs me up on that
the largest smash up in classic car racing I've ever seen, Road America 2005
The green flag was in deed thrown. I red flagged the race with in 3 seconds of the green. Even with the red flag the drivers in the back just keep driving into the rear
Even with the red flag the drivers in the back just keep driving into the rear. The red was shown at corner 15(the walk over bridge). The drivers just did not pay attention. All drivers were forced to attend a meeting right after the incident. They were all yelled at.
many fist fights started after drivers started getting out of there cars.
Apparently the prior lap was not green-flagged due to the cars not being in position so this was a second attempt to start the race. Whether or not all of this contributed to the accident remains to be seen.
What is known is that some drivers starting racing before the green flag
(statement by the operating steward for this race, http://www.freshalloy.com/archive/index.php/t-115446.html )'
I was in the second row...we came up the hill as always and as the front row accelerated the starter did NOT throw the flag, the front row let off the gas and I hit my brakes as did the Jag next to me also the third row and fourth row...someone maybe 5 rows back hit the car in front of him and that caused all of this. You are looking at a few million dollars in wrecked cars.
as it turns out the (novice) race director told ONLY the front row he wanted a 50 mph start.....these cars do not do 50 mph

it looks really simple, and extremely effective at getting a rust free desirable car from one rusted out POS and a plain jane, who gives a damn, 6 cylinder car
Yikes, this ol Bee had some serious cancer on the bottom!
but this Coronet 440 (which has nothing to do with the 440 cu in engine, it's the bottom of the barrel cheapest model line, and looking over to the far side, it was a 4 door maybe... a Coronet 500 was another lower trim level model) looks reamrkable well preserved
and bingo! Someone will have a car to love for decades to come

Didn't they learn why Oldsmobile and Pontiac were killed off?
Passengers waiting to disembark from a plane in Jakarta were shocked when a giant scorpion started crawling out of an overhead bin.
What would Sam Jackson say about scorpions?
Lion Air spokesman Danang Mandala Prihantoro said on Friday that the airline was still investigating the appearance of the venomous animal.
“Based on our observation of the video, it seems like a spider,” he said as quoted by Kompas

India's new high speed train hit a cow on it's first trip, then had more problems in the electric system, and broke down entirely... and that's why religions are so moronic. They make stupid rules
Since coming to office, Modi's nationalist party launched a crackdown on the slaughter of cows - considered sacred by many Hindus - which has led to crisis numbers of stray and unwanted cattle
Cattle obstructions on roads and rail tracks are common in India, particularly in Uttar Pradesh state where Saturday's collision happened.
Soon after the collision with the cow, the drivers noticed smoke billowing from the last four carriages and the electricity stopped working.
Last week India's rail minister Piyush Goyal was mocked after he tweeted a digitally altered video of the train zipping by a station at lightning speed.
Railway authorities say the train is expected to reduce the 850-kilometre journey between the two cities of New Delhi and the Hindu holy city of Varanasi from 14 to eight hours.
