Cool paint shop video.

Ray Troll doesn’t do pigs, he does fish.

Those time lapse videos are pretty cool.

I remember seeing those airplanes sitting on the flightline, and did wonder why they chose black for the fuselage color. Dark colors in the sun present too much solar gain, making it difficult to keep the airplane cool and comfortable inside. Notice the wings are painted white. That is to reduce the amount of solar gain so the fuel inside them doesn't expand too much in the heat of the sun.

Also, why is the video tied to a news item about the engines?

Found out today that my cancer was caused by gene mutations, not smoking. I'll be taking one pill a day, at home, instead of 3 hour chemo treatments every 3 weeks at the clinic.
The medication is called Tagrisso and of course has a long list of possible nasty side effects.

All the best vibes heading your way my friend!

Well, you cannot slap your T790M or EGFR genes for misbehaving, but osimertinib is the closest to a good spanking there is

Probably just as well. The pink pig is probably trademarked.

Gotta love Ray Troll art!! I have a bunch of his tee shirts. To be fair, he doesn’t do *just* fish - he also does fossils and just about anything Alaskan...

But will they?

Or will they over imbibe?

I'll have one of those 'moderation drinks' thanks.

Friday night, beer night.

Another week of refurb on a spankin' new airplane. Fun times seeing all the airplanes getting moved and moving around on their own nearby. Lunch everyday in the delivery center cafeteria, at a counter that looks out on the place where they deliver new airplanes to the customers (haven't seen any yet), another portion of the flightline (there are three aisles), and part of the main runway at the airport. The commercial flights are shut down right now, but a lot of a certain type and model of airplane were taking off all week, likely to never return.

Someone said they are going somewhere to get ready for delivery.

Great news.

The crew I'm on is getting a lot of work done, it is largely rework, or finishing up work not done yet. I find it interesting to see the build and development of a brand new model, and working to overcome the challenges of building the first ones. As I have mentioned a while back, I had the privilege of contributing to the build of the first three, and here I am working on one of the first ten.

If they head over to the 'Imbibe', I'll buy that establishment too!

You'll have to ask Racer, Mark or Parallax - I don't have access to the secret moderators' bar.
