I've been trying to get around to uploading these for a while, had a time today.
Had a job to do in Texas, first time I've been there since basic training in '82 and I wouldn't really call that a visit.
Here's the job we did, should have seen the before shot, I didn't get one. Regular rats nest, we pulled out 3 failed power supplies, 4 decommissioned servers. Replace the switches with brand new Cisco 9000 series, they should be running for another 20 years. I stayed there till Monday AM to make sure everyone cranked up ok so I had a down day on Sunday. Saw Midway, think I mentioned that already.
Had some TexMex like never before, dang good stuff man.
Gotta Whattaburger...ok.
And on to the local Air Museum.
They had a nice flight sim room in there. I did a couple of touch and goes, was able to put the wheels on the numbers and straight on the runway. Had to fight off some cub scouts who were getting impatient with me waiting their turn.. :smack But there were just too many of them. :woohoo:
My understanding is they all are in flying condition.
Everyone loves a Sandy!
Intemidating to say the least.
I don't know what this is but it sure is cute.
DC-3 looking good!
Shinny ain't she?!
So what's up with this?
Any B-17 junkies out there ever seen windows installed like this?
I would say this is non-standard.
And different vents to the side and rear of the waste air vents.
Battleship Texas, she's in bad shape, not even letting people on board now. Commissioned in 1914 so yeah, pushing 105 years old. You'd think with the money there is in Texas someone would step up and save her from the rust.
This is the battlefield where Sam Houston's Texan army took on Santa Anna. Battle of San Jacinto. Interesting place, you read about it, seen the movies but to walk the ground is a different experience.
I'm heading back in January but I doubt I'll have a down day this time.
Anyway, thought I'd share. Thanks for looking.
