Flying
What Is it?
Some giant bug squashed on the desert floor?
Remnants of some past civilization?
Evidence of Aliens?
Welcome to my collection of photos, some mine many others gathered from viral emails among the flying community.
The photo above is actually Essex Airport, an abandoned WWII vintage airfield in the Mojave desert.
Chainsaw Massacure
This next picture came with a marvelous story about an ex-wife seeking
revenge in a bitter divorce and taking a chainsaw to ex-husband's beloved
aircraft:
However the slices are far too regular and neat for the chainsaw story. The real story can be found here.
Soapsuds
This photo made the rounds with a number of different wild stories about
how a hanger could be filled several feet deep in bubbles. This one even
came to the attention of snopes
who offer up the most likely explanation that it was an accidential tripping
of a fire supression system.
Plane in a tree
There is a saying in avaition that any landing you can walk away from is a "Good landing". If you can use the aircraft again it is a "Great landing". The next photo is in the former catagory. The full story can be found here.
African Flying
Finally this shot from Kenya. I imagine that this might delay your departure a bit...
