Those boats are nuts compared to the types we rode on there.

 

If it wasn't for that loooong propshaft those things would be doing cartwheels down the canal.

 

The weight that she provides out front would aid stability too .

It makes me feel quite 'unstable', but I am too old to remember why!!!

BA doesn’t have any 747s any more. Too bad, I liked those planes. How old is that clipping?

 

Who knows, I ran across and had a good laugh, so I shared it.

Students in Boston rode a party bus, complete with a stripper pole and neon lights, on a field trip due to the ongoing national school bus driver shortage.

Eleventh grade AP Language & Composition teacher at the Brooke Charter School in Boston, Jim Mayers tweeted about the experience on Sept. 17.

“It is a funny story, but there actually is a real bus shortage and it speaks to major flaws in our education system,” said Mayers. “This in no way is a reflection of anyone involved in planning the trip, we were trying to have a fun day with the kids and that’s exactly what happened.”

 

 

THIS IS NUTS...

Imagine doing this over a city.

Man opens emergency door, jumps onto wing of plane in Miami​

Police say a passenger on an American Airlines flight that landed at Miami International Airport opened an emergency door and walked on the wing as the plane reached the terminal

 

.... but I bet he still had to wait ages for his baggage to appear on the carousel .

 

So you think it’s somehow good to slam airline baggage service? Does that make you feel good? Or support your hate everyone politics? I recently flew from SFO to DEN to BIL. This is like United’s last flight out of Denver. We got into DEN OK but that airport is really long and I had hustle down to the gate. I had checked my bag. Got off the plane in Billings into the deserted airport and my bags were right up front. Had a great vacation in Montana. Hope you have a good day sometime too

 

 

Speaking of which:

Russian Hoverbike Comes Crashing Down From 100 ft in Dubai​

It all happened in a matter of seconds. The Scorpion pilot jumped atop the hoverbike and quickly took off, heading up to 100 feet (30 meters) when suddenly the barometer failed — as per Hoversurf — and the pilot along with the flying motorcycle come hurtling down to the hard concrete ground.
