Plane Pr0n on a Winter’s Day

I had to go to Tehachapi for a doctor’s appointment today. On the way home I had to stop in Mojave. I take the Z612 along with me most of the time, now a days. With the hardware parked at Mojave Airport, it is good thing to do. One of those Ex Air Canada birds [...]

Working in the Coal Mine!

We just got done pulling an engine from an F-16 Falcon. The young guy is Rod, one of my coworkers here at Edwards. The really good looking one in the ball cap is yours truly.

23 January 2010 – Aviation Nation 2009 – Plane Pr0n!!!

So, I finally managed to get more (and I think the last) of the film developed from Aviation Nation 2009
How did I do this?  Well, I was given a choice yesterday of whether I wanted to work Saturday or Sunday this weekend and I chose to have today off.  I managed to do [...]

U-2 Reconnaissance Jets Still Flying

I came across an article over on Military.com and thought it should be shared as widely as possible.  It seems that Congress had a decent thought for a change and has directed the USAF to delay the retirement of its U-2 reconnaissance jets for a while longer.  They’re still great jets with over 100 projected [...]

Glenn’s other life in the airplane world

These are the airplanes that I did final assembly wing mate, horizontal stab mate and production flight control rigging on. This included the aircraft pictured here. I did the rigging on the Model 40 number one.

(Archive) Picture(s) A Day – 9 January 2010 – More Plane Pr0n!

Something For Buck to Consider…

(Archive) Picture(s) A Day – 19 December 2009

If you were hoping for fresh, original pictures from today, I apologize for disappointing you.  If you like aircraft carriers, well, you’ll probably like today’s post   I figured after all the Air Force jets Glenn’s been forced to suffer with it might be a nice change to put up a few pictures of [...]

War Birds – One Movie I’ll Gladly Pay to See in the Theater!

Most of my readers have been around for a while now and are probably familiar with my love of aviation and firearms   For those who may be new, you might want to click here, here, here, and here.  There’s more where those came from, too
Anywho, getting the train of thought back [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 12 December 2009 – Aviation Nation 2009 Film Rolls #2 & #3

So, work today wasn’t much to write home about.  I got one call in two hours and they cut us loose after two hours if we wanted to go.  The only thing I’m at all unhappy about is that I had to wake up at a reasonable hour on a Saturday
After work, I [...]
