The blackflies seem to have calmed down a bit out in the open but imagine thick as thieves in the bush. The skitters are brutal but easy enough to keep at bay with lighting a couple of the green coils. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted May 25, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 25, 2022 May 18th, 1953: Jacqueline Cochran, flying a Canadian-built F-86 Sabre at Edwards AFB, Calif., became the first woman to fly faster than sound. She averaged 652.337 mph on a 100-kilometer closed-course to earn the women's jet speed record. Cochran was also the first woman to land and take off from an aircraft carrier, the first woman to reach over Mach 1 in a Northrop T-38 Talon, the first woman to pilot a bomber across the North Atlantic (in 1941) and later to fly a jet aircraft on a transatlantic flight, the first female pilot to make a blind (instrument) landing, the only woman ever to be president of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (1958–1961), the first woman to fly a fixed-wing, jet aircraft across the Atlantic, the first female pilot to fly above 20,000 ft with an oxygen mask, and the first woman to enter the Bendix Transcontinental Race. Jackie still holds more distance and speed records than any pilot living or dead, male or female. www.Sierrahotel.net Pictured here - Jackie Cochran and Col.

Big Crappie Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Good morning...last wake up in the suburbs as residents for us. Trailer is loaded, dropping off all of our Comcast/Xfinity equipment at 11 and we'll be northbound by 2pm. It's going to take a little while for it to set in that we'll officially be "locals" and can start complaining about the "tourists" LOL Have a great day all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
