Not to worry. TNCR has threads that evolve rather quickly sometimes. That's why I changed my tune to let people know they can post whatever they want.
And sometimes a gal just wants to have fun. That's me.
My work can be rather serious, so here I tend to post lighthearted things meant to entertain. They probably seem frivolous and completely unnecessary, and that's okay with me. I'm all for frivolity. Bring on the frivolity! And the frogs!
Frivolous frogs
are my speciality. Y'all just wait 'til this summer. Moar frogs! @brenda said in Saw this today:

We have a very small international airport. You're looking at the entire terminal building on the left. Compare that to the wing span of the plane. The plane is slightly closer than the building, but not much.

The small airport we have actually made it possible to see these things. I may never have this experience again in my lifetime. So glad hubby had heard word of the visit. I was so busy with work, I missed hearing about it at all.
We're kicking ourselves for not at least asking the SS guy if we could go far enough to see the plane. I'm sure he would have said no, but you never know until you ask.
If there is ever a 'next time', we're going to bring a FedEx package along with us.

Those travel arrangements are exceptional.
I have NEVER seen a plane as large as that transport plane. Holy cow, that thing is just enormous.
You need one, Copper. You want one.
We used to take our planes to Martinsburg, WV for maintenance. The national guard used to keep c5s there. Sharing a taxiway with those was really fun. It was like looking up at the Empire State Building with wings.
They replaced this c5s with c17s, which is what I believe is pictured above, pretty airplanes. It was fun to share practice airspace with them.

My bad. Indeed a c17 Globemaster
SmallER than a galaxy.

Link to videoSuch a smooth looking landing. I'm wondering what kind of brakes it takes.
The pilot made it look graceful. -

One of the C17s would be great for hauling all of our kiddo's stuff when she moves. I think it would all fit.
