We were surprised to see they are now selling whale meat at Costco. We tried a free sample. It sorta tastes like tuna, just a little more "blubbery."

Kansas State Wildcats Crash and Burn
We had the Wildcats in a contest. Today they were ELIMINATED IN THE FIRST ROUND, so we don't care about college basketball anymore.
The good news is, we came across this nice Grumman F-4F Wildcat photo. Special thanks to Glenn at Warbirdz !

Wolfman Jack Autograph 1971 LAX
We saw Wolfman Jack at LAX in 1971.
He announced on the radio that he would be there to "Meet the Tempations," when they arrived at LAX.
But The Tempations walked right past him as if he never existed. I think he was mad.
United had a relatively simple route map in those days.
Congratulations to our contest winner, AA278 !

UFO Departing LAX - N218UA United 777-200 "Star Alliance"
Obvoiusly a spacecraft. Photo by our Long Beach Bureau Chief. Don't trust anyone, as they could be Alien Insurgents. Airplane Life is believed to be the last website on the internet that is staffed entirely by Humans.

Airport Police
These photos DO NOT show a vehicle used by the security guards who hassle aviation photographers at an airport near here. In fact, these pictures were taken a long time ago someplace far away. By someone else.
We personally have a great working relationship with our guys, and think they deserve a big pay raise!

Lockheed Martin Skunk Works Hot Dog
From the kitchens at Plant 42 in Palmdale comes this "X-Dog."
Toasted cracked wheat bun with mayo. Pickles. Two separate grilled dogs sliced in half lengthwise - one half is a Whole Foods organic, the other half is a Whole Foods Bratwurst. RoTel Queso sauce. Dijon mustard.
Topped with homemade "KFC clone" buttermilk style cole slaw kicked up with green onions, smoked paprika, and bacon.
And some more bacon.
But we know what you're thinking. It should have an onion ring on top. That's the military version.

World's First Fully Telepathic Blog Post N840AL
Our posts will soon appear directly in your subconsience. No need for a computer or smart phone!
In laymans terms what we are doing is called "quantum synthetic extraoperative telepathic subspace electrocorticography with decohereant somatosensory hadronic resectioning integration." But it's a little more technical than that.
I wonder if we need some kind of FCC transmitter license for this thing.
Let us know if you saw this plane in your head before reading this post.

Yosemite El Capitan & Half Dome
We got these pictures from Captain Jivehead. He was on a layover at KSMF and went over to Yose.
We have many fond memories of visits to Yosemite. Camp 14 ... the firefall ...
Getting back to the pictures .... a guy named John Bachar once climed both of these faces free-style on the same day in 14 hours. And we knew John.
