![]() Stayed up late and watched all three hours of the SpaceShipOne documentary on Discovery last night. WOW!!! The imagery from within the craft during the flight knocked me over, and Rutan and company reinspired me. I told my wife that aviation produces heroes of the highest personal caliber and integrity, and we saw some of them last night. If the show comes on again and you haven't seen it, tape it! -c |

Hey...meant to ask you: On Monday I saw/heard a C-47 coming low over east Portland from the Pearson/PDX area. (IFR day...at least we know she's equipped.) Did you see it or happen to know if it was the Pearson bird, or what? Saw a Dakota coming out of Evergreen one time a couple years ago while I was driving past during lunch. Damn near caused me to wreck my car. : -c |

... Reminds me...getting the dish network installed today so I can give Comcast the finger. Good idea, but it's a flawed plan, since Comcast owns many of the "cable programming" channels that also wind up on satellite. |

![]() "NW_PILOT" wrote in message news:MIqdnfatUPiL7zLcRVn- I just moved home base from Evergreen to Pearson. Cool. Well, the C-47 I saw flying looked very similar in livery to the bird outside of the Pearson Air Museum. There's another one out of Salem, but it has newer engines and definately wasn't that one. Had a good day there one time helping out when some CBI vets were standing around under that plane swapping war stories. -c |

Good idea, but it's a flawed plan, since Comcast owns many of the "cable programming" channels that also wind up on satellite. But I get to send them about $20.00 less per month. That's enough for me. -- Jim Fisher |
