Now you're talking :)

I'm looking forward to relaxing over Christmas, a nice break will be ideal!
 
How about a super Guppy or a 225 the worlds biggest aeroplane.. these will take you and your mates and eveything else to any where in the world...
 
Like i said buy a super guppy or a 225 and you could take a few typhoons to anywhere in the world because at this moment in time i dont think you could fly one
 
No, however I was planning to!

Damn that RAF Optician who said my eyesight wasn't good enough.

What the hell does she know!

I can see just fine. :(
 
This must be just as fun to fly ...

[font=verdana, helvetica, arial]The An[/font][font=verdana, helvetica, arial]tonov An-225 Mriya is a heavy-lift transport. It was designed to carry piggy-back loads which are too big to fit into its fuselage. For example, the Buran Space Shuttle[/font][font=verdana, helvetica, arial]. Mriya means dream. It is the world's largest aircraft in the world. It was derived from the An-124. The An-225 uses 6 engines[/font][font=verdana, helvetica, arial], whereas, the An-124 has 4 engines.[/font]

[font=verdana, helvetica, arial]The An-225 first flew on 21 December, 1988. Only one An-225 was built, however, a second plane may be built.[/font]

[font=verdana, helvetica, arial]The An-225 was going to be used as the first stage of the Maks Space Launch System aka Maks Spaceplane and an expendable fuel tank would have been carried piggy-bank on the An-225. There are plans to launch a Maks-T[/font][font=verdana, helvetica, arial] [/font][font=verdana, helvetica, arial]manned version in 2006. This version carries an expendable 2nd stage with payload container containing spacecraft.[/font]

I've seen that aircraft at Newcastle airport carrying a massive turbine - it was HUGE (I can't even explain how big - much bigger than that image suggests).
 
32 wheels to land ...UUUHhh and guess what ?



It`s Analogue !!!!
 
Me and my wife have decided to have a barbecue here..its quiet...cold..and far from home enough to know there will be no intrusions...

Just left of Jupiter
 
Me, I know it might sound all mushy & everything, but I know that I'm getting THE best christmas
present in the world!!!

My Mum & Sister & her 3 kids (6yo, 4yo & a baby) Are going to spend the whole of christmas day,
starting at 4am, driving down here to visit me & my kids! They'll be arriving around tea/dinner time
all going well.

All of christmas day. Instead of Santa Claus & Cristmas trees. Peter, the kids father can't come so
they will not even be able to see their Dad on Christmas day.

Yet despite all of that, even the kids want to come & see us enough that they'd rather spend the day
stuck in a car travelling.

Jesus, who can ask for a better Christmas present than that! :D:D:D


Oh, & if I can have an Aeroplane as well, make mine a Spitfire or a Harrier, or better yet, one of each!;)
