Many of us fantasize about flying and the freedom it allows. There is a company now,  in 2020 that is in the business of building these Vintage Aircraft to original specifications. Of course with materials that have become superior as time passes, yet of original design.  They endevor to remain as 'Vintage' as possible outwardly, while retaining the 'look of decades gone by' 



The primary offerings are the WACO YMF-5 and the more performance related Great Lakes model.

The WACO YMF-5 here: 

And here:



While the Great Lakes is of a slightly different configuration and powerplant. Much sleeker and affording a greater forward view.





OK, HOW MUCH     ?  

Well forget your kids college fund, sell your vacation properties furthest from private airports or landing strips..... and plan on building a Hanger to stash your Toy ('s) in.... It's going to set you back about oh... $400,000 K, maybe a scoush more by time you configure accessories.... which to be honest are few. But Bespoke paint could well cost you umm... how crazy do you want to get. In the scheeme of things, the price is sort of a bargain. New Mooneys sell for upwards of double that if equipted with nice control systems and modern Glass (guages, Radio, navigation upgrades.  So in reality, the YMF-5 or the Great Lakes are bargains. 

Of course as you gathered, with the open cockpit it would be primarily fair weather use. But as I said, Bespoke can be had, and a closed cockpit could be added. But still...? My guess is you'd rather have nice weather on a Saturday or Sunday morning flight.


or any day of the week lol.


And more EYE CANDY......  

So are you ready for an adventure ? An Indiana Jones type adventure, a mysterious Lost Island adventure with only your companion ? Or  a picnic at some quaint airstrip far from the clutter and noise.

So hay.... most of your kids are already smart........................................allecks anyway... OR if your a Wise Guy, you could have both, just like 'The Sopranos ...hmm hmmm ha ha.

So yea....... are you game... ?

Quote:A CANADIAN'S VIEW OF PRESIDENT TRUMP

# 54. A CANADIAN'S VIEW OF PRESIDENT TRUMP

Quote:

Quote:

Quote:

Quote: 
It is a good view of what is going on,
 
Ernie Meggisen, a Canadian, wrote the following on Donald J. Trump...
 
Make no mistake...I'm not posting this for debate. I don’t want your commentary. ..
Unfollow or unfriend me if it makes you feel better.
 
Just consider this... When you think that your President Trump is a jerk; HE IS...
 
He’s a New Yorker.. He’s crude and can be downright rude. Some say he's a thin-skinned, arrogant, bombastic ass. ..
No argument, even from most republicans if they're really honest.
 
He gets his feelings hurt and he’s a hot head. ..He hits back; harder. ...And he probably should Tweet less.
 
But let me tell you what else he is...And if you disagree with this that's your privilege. ..
But in that case my friend, you'd be DEAD WRONG!!! ..And here's why;
 
 
He's a guy who DEMANDS performance. ..And more importantly; RESULTS!!
 He spent his entire life in the private sector where you either produce or get your ass fired!
 
 
He's a guy who asks lots of questions. ..And the questions he asks aren’t cloaked in fancy “political” phrases;
 they are “Why the hell...?” questions.
 
 
For decades the health industry has thrown away billions of face masks after one use. ...Trump asks,
 “Why are we throwing them away? Why not sterilize them and use them numerous times?” (Good question.)
 
 
He’s the guy who gets hospital ships readied in one week when it would have taken a
 bureaucrat weeks or months or never to get it done.
 
 
He’s the guy who gets temporary hospitals built in three days.
 
 
He’s the guy who gets auto industries to restructure to build ventilators in a business that’s highly 
regulated by agencies that move like sloths.
 
 
He’s the guy who asks “Why aren’t we using drugs that might work on people who are dying;. what the hell do we have to lose?” (Another good question.)
 
 
He’s the guy who restricted travel from China when the democrats and liberal media were screaming
 “xenophobia” and “racist.” ..Now they’re wanting to know why he didn’t react sooner? 
When he shut down the borders in the early days of the corona virus, the democrats screamed even LOUDER. 
..Then the rest of the world, including the European Union quickly restricted travel between their own 
member countries.
 
 
He’s the guy who campaigned on securing the border - protecting America - in the face of 
screaming democrats and the liberal media. .
And these SAME leaders of your democrat party (both the Clintons, Chucky Schumer, Harry Reed, Barack Obama, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi et al...) ALL were in FAVOR of constructing the wall 'UNTIL' Trump had the fortitude to actually do it!!!
 
 
Now your comeback might be: 'Oh, he said Mexico was going to pay for it'. Does that ring a bell? Well let me quickly set you straight on this one: Have you compared the old EXTREMELY one-sided NAFTA agreement (negotiated by none other than Jimmy 'peanuts' Carter) with the NEW US.M.C. agreement? Well I have..And let me tell you this: Mexico will now end up paying much MORE for your goods than you will for theirs..And why you might ask?? Because they're far more reliant on the U.S. than you are of them. Yes, it will take time but the bottom line is;...They WILL end up paying for the wall just like Trump said all along! .Admittedly as a Canadian, this new USMCA is certainly not as beneficial as NAFTA was for both my country and Mexico. Previously our farmers had a huge monopoly over your farmers but 'fair is fair'...
 
 
Has Trump made mistakes? ..Of course. You can't fault a person for being a human being. 
Only ONE perfect man walk this earth 2000 years ago, Jesus!
 
Everyone I know has made mistakes and continues to make them and LEARNS from them.
 
Trump is, and has accomplished more than any U.S. President in my lifetime. (I'm 77 years old) 
..He puts in 18 to 20 hour days. He isn’t hiding in his office; he’s out front - Briefing - ALL Americans almost every day.
 
According to democrats and liberal media, when he offers hope he’s lying, and when he’s straight forward he should be hopeful. It’s a no-win situation for him every day with the haters and naysayers, but he is NOT deterred.
 
I’ll take THIS kind of leadership 6 days a week and TWICE on Sunday over a “polished, nice guy” politician who has seldom or never held a real private sector job in his or her adult life, reads prepared and “written by a speech-writer” speeches from a teleprompter and ONLY answers pre-scripted questions selected for him/her prior to the open forum. (Sorry folks, but that's EXACTLY what your previous POTUS did.)
 
I am completely mystified as to why this man has been bombarded by the media and liberal electorate EVERY day since back in 2015 when he announced his run for the U.S. presidency.
 
..And whether you want to believe it or not, Americans, let me tell you one more thing, if you REALLY think that Hillary would have accomplished even a fraction of the things for the betterment of the American public that POTUS Trump has, you've really got your head in the sand.
 
I can only wish he was MY President! - For the good of America, you'd better hope he's re-elected this November.
 
I DO

Below is a list of things President Trump hopes to accomplish during his second term.  Read over them and discuss anything you disagree with, or tell us what you would like to see added.

Quote:President Trump, on the eve of the Republican National Convention, released a list of the core priorities he intends to achieve should he win a second term in office. For his voting base, there’s a lot of red meat; from rebuilding the economy via an aggressive job-creation program through to funding and hiring more police officers, there is very little that would cause an uproar among those who voted Republican in 2016. But this election is not about just the committed Trump voters, it’s about which candidate can win over the independents.

Antifa getting a fist full of consideration ... I actually like what I saw... call me bad !!

It's Wednesday, I am on day 1 of a 30 day Fast, and the hardest part about a fast, is to stave off boredom and keep busy at all times!

So to pass an hour or so I was fumbling around the net and decided to retake the Political Compass test, see where I land in these dark days where a blonde Ogre is currently running my Country.

So where do you land? No judgements Ladies and Gents, it's just a bit of fun on a Rainy Wednesday Morning.

Here's Mine ...

As the hubs and I sit watching the "protesters" hurling fireworks and water bottles at the police in Wisconsin something that has been tickling the back of my brain for a while has now started inching its way to the front of my idea processes. The tickling started earlier today after watching a Youtube video that briefly touched on 5G. In the video it mentioned a flock of birds that had been seen circling a 5G tower and attacking it, pulling apart wiring and sensors with their beaks and behaving strangely aggressive- like they were on some kind of mission.

For several years I have been telling anyone who will listen that we are being programmed, and many agree with that thought. 

For over 30 years medical professionals have been prescribing powerful psychoactive meds like candy. Normal behaviors are classified as mental illness. "You're not sad, you're depressed. Here, these pills will fix it." "You're not nervous, you have anxiety. Take these pills." "Your child doesn't need to get more physical activity, they have ADHD. Give them these pills." "You're not just being a bitch because people let you get away with it, you are bipolar. Take these pills." Three decades of a huge chunk of our population on psyche meds. many who have been on powerful mind drugs their entire lives.

Social media has exacerbated the situation. People compete for bragging rights on having the most mental illness. Who would have thought popularity would depend on how many mental illnesses you can claim? And why doesn't the government do anything to curtail the mass over prescribing of psychiatric meds?  The answer, in my opinion, is that with the majority on meds not only are people more controllable but more importantly easily programmed. That is where the politically controlled MSM comes in.

In the past we were protected by law from the news being used for propaganda, then the Obama administration changed all of that. Since then we no longer receive "just the facts" as in days of old. All news is editorialized and twisted until it is all nearly tabloid fodder. The news networks (at the insistence of their highly political owners and station managers) create polarization and many times even goad people into action on purpose. People who have been on psyche meds are highly susceptible to suggestion and that fact is being exploited by these networks and the politicians they are in bed with. Even those not on the drugs but who are susceptible to peer pressure or weak minded can be exploited similarly because who really wants to be shunned because they don't agree with the propaganda of the day- wouldn't want people to say you're a bad person after all. 

So now we have miilions of people susceptible to programming and the television and internet propaganda twisting their ideas of right and wrong. "If you don't side with the protesters you're racist and a bad person." And so they protest. Criminals start using the protests to start looting, carjacking, etc. But what about those who are not criminals? Why do they keep acting angrier and angrier and becoming increasingly violent? George Soros can't be paying them all! 

And then it hit me: 5G

I haven't really paid much attention to 5G conspiracies. I don't use high dollar phones, most of my internet use is at home on my laptop- so the subject didn't really interest me... until right before I started this thread. Watching those protesters becoming angrier and angrier and becoming more agitated, goading the police. Knowing that if they kept escalating the police would be forced to act and that they were intentionally putting their lives in danger. We have seen this same sort of behavior over and over again recently. Why are they so aggressive?

Where are the majority of riots occurring? Big cities
Where are the most up and running 5G towers? Big cities
Where are the strongest 5G signals? The downtown areas of big cities
What part of the city are the riots starting in? The downtown area

It is my opinion that we have been drugged with powerful psychoactive drugs to make us more susceptible to programming and social shaming. People have been brain washed and peer pressured into acting irrationally and then to drive the insanity home 5G signal waves are being used to instigate severe aggressive behavior.  The plots or reasons why this is being done is another matter for another time. The point is that it is being done at all.

Think it sounds crazy? If the signal from a 5G tower can cause a flock of birds to circle, attack and destroy as a unit what makes you think it can't do the same to humans? Isn't that the same thing they are doing? The only difference is that the birds don't have media programming them to aim that aggression in a particular direction. JMHO

xDNC Chairperson (temp in 2016) suffered some kind of mental breakdown on FoxNews.

She was triggered about something and went total berserk LOL.

She's been a frequent guest on Fox for some time now and occasionally flys into fits of rage.

This one is one of the better tirades LOL 

Donna and other frequent Democrat guests and "contributors" have been getting away with flagrant lies and wild statements that mostly go unchallenged by the Fox "Hosts".

Something's wrong somewhere LOL

Quote:Former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile melted down in spectacular fashion on Fox News, accusing fellow commentator Tammy Bruce of racism and demanding she “recognize my existence.”
Discussing Monday night’s Republican National Convention on Tuesday morning’s Fox & Friends, Brazile accused the GOP of “speaking to the choir” with their unabashedly pro-Trump lineup of speakers. Conservative contributor Tammy Bruce shot back, accusing the Democrats of being out of touch with ordinary Americans, and slamming the left for not speaking out strongly enough against the Black Lives Matter riots ripping through US cities.

Brazile saw red, and immediately accused Bruce of “ignoring” racism in the US. “It sounds like I will never be an American in your world, because after 400 years, my family cannot walk out of this house without fearing violence!” she shouted.

Broke that little march up right quick.  Knew it was gonna start sooner or later.

Quote:You hear one other gunshot and then you hear screaming and chaos. One of the marchers can be heard telling the men they're leaving and that there's no need to get violent.
