Smallest plane I was ever in Cessna 150 largest 747. I felt safer in the Cessna
Click to expand...

Smallest plane for me was a 10-passenger, twin-engined turboprop Beechcraft. Although, the smallest aircraft I've ever flown in was the 2-seat helicopter for my 50th b-day. A gift from the family. It was October, but, it was still warm enough to have the doors off. That was my funnest aircraft ride ever, by far, so far.
Largest plane was a DC-10.
The funnest plane was definitely the Beechcraft! :)
It was owned by the Marvin window company in Warroad, Minesota. Back in the mid-80's, myself, a coupla' co-workers, and some home builders took a trip there to tour their operations and factory. First leg of the trip was American Airlines to Minneapolis, and then Marvins' company plane to Warroad, 5 miles south of the Canadian border. There were only 2 major employers in town...Marvin Windows, and Christian Brothers Hockey Sticks. Marvin was much larger.
Anyhoo, on the way back I got to fly in the copilot seat...Heaven...! :inlove:
Sooo cool up there!
But, at one point I noticed an oil pressure gauge for engine number 2 kinda' hoppin' around... :cyclops:
I glanced at it several times for a few minutes, until I finally inquired about it to the pilot. He chuckled for a second, and said "Good catch! Most don't pay attention to the gauges!", and then reassured me that all had been tested, and it was just a faulty gauge, that would be replaced as soon as he flew back to Warroad...!!! :hilarious:
The coolest part of that flight was the approach and landing back in Minneapolis. It was amazing from that vantage point!
Also, the pilot said that a perfect landing touchdown is when the stall warning goes off a split second before the main gear touches the runway.
Sure enough, a split second before the main gear touched down, the stall warning went off. Show off. :rolleyes: ;)
All such a very cool, memorable experience...! :)

I would hope that people see things in their own way and allow others to see it in whatever way they do. So, it is probably OK if we don't talk about it, but, I still think that you have completely misread what I am saying. However, it is difficult to put into words so I don't think I will be able to sufficiently explain what I am saying, so in that case. It is best to move on.

We as in nation. Obviously, not everyone falls into the exact definition. What I was saying is that in the time-frame that was depicting, it is possible that the entire scenario was more likely to play out then as compared to now when we are soooo race conscious and it is just another reason why there is division.

Let's just ask the question what is more harmful to a homogenized society, a show that only shows blacks with blacks, asians with asians, whites with whites and we don't seem to find a problem with that, but, if there is a combination then one will be white because they are intentionally whiting it up and not because it is showing a less then bigoted relationship. Sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees.

El Morro looks pretty cool. It reminds me of Saint Augustine FL's fort, except the one you went to is much bigger.

El morro and San Cristobal supposedly are the biggest fortifications in the new world. Hence why they actually were called "Castillos" (castles) instead of simply "forts". They were way different from your average star-shaped fort (including the different multilevel artillery system used in the spanish castles)..

Also, I think these forts were definitively huge deterrents. Because Im pretty sure el Morro only seen 3 big battles and San Cristobal 1. (1 dutch attack, 2 english attacks, who knows how many smaller skirmishes against pirates).
4 if you count US's artillery attacks before the annexation.

Hahaaa...!
Yes, it's quite the opposite, actually...
Characters aren't interacting with Guests in line, Guests are waiting in lines to interact with characters...!!! :hilarious:

Makes you wonder if the writer actually meant that but got confused and wrote the opposite in the book.
Like asking information to a CM and suddenly he miswrote what he heard. (couldn't have made that mistake if he actually went to the parks)

The fact that their parents didn't pay attention to all that was awful.

more than "paying attention". they just Didn't gave a darn... Its probably the type that fits the meaning of "helicopter" parent.
My mother also said the kids were using a lot of expletives and hard insults, and only the grandmah of the group tried to call them down (to which the mother of the kids blocked her a few times).

My favorite flight ever was in a Beechcraft Bonanza to Hershey Pa right before they closed the airport there. You could smell the chocolate as soon as you got out of the plane and walk to Hershey Park
