Dam Yankees, lost the game on the radio around Cheyenne on FM, can't believe it wasn't on Sirrius.

Windy day in Colorado.

Good thing I lost reception though, I would have developed road rage listening to the whole thing.

1200 GPM... Sweet!

Saw a pack of tumbleweeds cut in front of me just outside of town. They were going so fast they had contrails

They travel in packs?

Do they hunt prey like that, or just roll around town causing havoc and destruction like a gang of Hells Angels?

I'm working on her replacement - I'm pretty sure you will really like it, but your boom operator will be a lot closer to you. Is 1200 GPM fast?

It's a slight improvement, right now we transfer 1050 GPM or 7,000 lbs/min. That's into a big bomber, fighters max out around 2,000 lbs/min or 300GPM.

If it wasn't for my catlike reflexes they would have got me

I'll probably be retired by the time we get those nice new birds. It will be almost 20 years since the first order for the 767 tanker when we finally get some. I was told as an Lt that I would fly one. Too bad it got screwed up by corruption in our procurement process.

Too bad planes take so long now to make, here is progress for you, from Wikipedia, but this is true about the P-51. It was 6 months since the order for a long range fighter to escort bombers and the plane was in production.

It was conceived, designed and built by North American Aviation (NAA), under the direction of lead engineer Edgar Schmued, in response to a specification issued directly to NAA by the British Purchasing Commission; the prototype NA-73X airframe was rolled out, although without an engine, 102 days after the contract was signed.[2]
