Jack Sawyer Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Ya'll asked for it, I'm delivering' it The Lady in Red is wondering how the heck this got here! We're airborne! Hey captain, this flys really well! "Can we go inverted now captain? Please???" "Ok, if you insist!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I thought it was daily aerobics when I booked the cruise not daily aerobatics. Half of the passengers were suffering from sea sickness, another half from air sickness and the other half enjoyed the experience. A very novel set Jack and possibly some good cartoon material here.

Thanks Martyn, and the last half left before it began! I have some plans for a comic someday if I ever get around to it. I'm swamped right now.

I had about 500 777 Trent engines to get it in the air, I figure if a B-52 can fly, anything can fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 I know it's goofy guys, but one thing that's amazing to me is the sheer size of this ship when it's on the runway. I mean if this is actual size look at how big this thing is! It just dwarfs everything around it. Never been on one or even near one but are they really this large?

We went for a Med cruise a few years ago. The stern of the ship looked like a nine storey building! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the one that we went on was over 800 feet long. The very biggest are almost 1,200 feet. Compare that with a 747 at 230 feet in length .

A lot of slew and patience. You should go, it's fun, we were in free fall for a few minutes. 4 hours ago, European Mountain Man said: There where no passengers left on board they all fell into the sea Martyn regards EMM They were all strapped into bar stools at the bars enjoying an adult beverage of their choice, on the house. 50 minutes ago, Stillwater said: Nice flight, Jack.

Thanks Gerold, but there were no bridges at Catalina, in due time though... 7 minutes ago, paulb said: Well, the one that we went on was over 800 feet long. The very biggest are almost 1,200 feet. Compare that with a 747 at 230 feet in length . Over five times longer than a 747, now that's amazing. Hopefully tonight I'll get a chance to watch how they build those liners.
