It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks
It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks, Originally shared by Stanley Dudek Aerial view of the symbol... Anomaly... Whatever this is, which showed up overnight just outside the Robert E. Howard museum in Cross Plains, TX. Onsite, Hank Johnson and I discussed the meanings and potential causes of its sudden appearance, or perhaps its relevance to the ancient civilizations.

Awesome glider!
ReplyDeleteDavid Bucknall actually, it was a shit glider with a 20 degree Glide slope.
ReplyDeleteThat's about the same as someone in a wingsuit
Is it still housed there?
ReplyDeleteAntony Jackson Try making a glider that heavy! It was the best of both worlds...
ReplyDeleteIt did the job but it was far from an "awesome glider" (which was the statement I was replying to)
ReplyDeleteThe shuttle is an incredible piece of kit but I don't think I've ever heard any of the pilots laud it's in-atmosphere performance... Flying brick is more often the comment.
Soooo... Strap two J79 engines on it and it'll be an F-4 Phantom?
Banter Maestro thanks! I'll have to check it out
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should have said "Awesome bit of kit, that was not a plane". And, as a flying brick, kudos to those who managed to get it down from space to a small strip of runway. I remember watching the first and the last touchdowns live, and many in between. Even on the back of a plane, it looked cool.
ReplyDeleteTalking of awesome kit.. #hubble
