"Always look on the bright side of life." It could have been Boeing. There are friends here that I don't know and will never meet. I will miss them.

Thank you Dolores: Wow! C-5As. I live at the west end of the Dulles east west runway. Used to have a FEDEX DC-10 on a regular basis, not anymore. Miss the 747s too, had a 380 about a week ago. The Luftwaffe used to have-C130s on a regular basis, that too is no more. Grew up with B-29s, Strato Cruisers, B-47s,52s, 707, 727, 737 just over the hill from Boeing field and plant #1. Saw Tex Johnson roll the 707 over Lake Washington from a boat out on the Lake. My Bride grew up in the traffic pattern for McCord air base. My neighbors complain about the Noise from Dulles. Music to my ears.

I love airplanes and admire all the people that make them go. I can't help running outside when a triple 7, 747. 380,340, or that NOISY Russian goes over my house at about a 1000 feet. Let's talk about airplanes. Sigh.

Hi Phil: From I've read, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen make a great rocket fuel, but hard to handle. If it could be used for the in atmosphere booster, shouldn't be a problem. I am ashamed of my 49 Ford at 13 miles to the gallon and it is harder to find leaded fuel.

Dear Mildred: Thanks for your 40 years. Hope I flew with you.

Get a free test, make a blood donation to the Red Cross. I was surprised and pleased when I was notified that I had tested positive for antibodies. Eight gallons donated so far.

Don't insult sheep by comparing them to people. Woof!

OMG! The next thing you know is they will require a license to drive a car or maybe even an airplane! The horror! Both sides, take your arguments elsewhere. This kind of discourse ruins Flight Aware.
