Ping, "False Authority Syndrome"
In a post, by Billy Beck, titled “False Authority Syndrome," we are pointed to this little TSA adventure published at davidgagne.net. You have to read it, to dis-believe it.
I’m wondering, if the TSAers involved in this ridiculous display are the ones who have accepted the $500.00 and $1,000.00 bribes to stay on the job?
Anniversary of the Flight of Hughes Flying Boat, H-4, HK-1
On this date, in 1947, the largest airplane ever constructed flew for the first, and last, time.
Most individuals know it by the name of the “Spruce Goose," a name Hughes despised by the way, and today it rests at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in Oregon.
The name Hughes despised, Spruce Goose, was a misnomer applied to it by the press, natch, because the majority of the plane was constructed out of birch.
Someday I’ve gotta go see this aviation engineering achievement.
