Now this Next picture your bout' to see,,, is of my "Miss Moonraker" taken back in 1957, after we had just arrived to Planet Earth from Jupitor our home Planet

Yessss WE are NOT Originally from your planet, are are truly the 1st "ILLEGAL ALIENS"

NO Shittt :o :o

Yes we arrived Via our Flying Saucer back in 1957 and have yet to find the appropriate Fuel source for it, to get us back home

You "Humanoids" back here on your planet are a little Slow in the Development areas of sum aspects of Rocket science, compared to us !!

However, we did enjoy your Fantasy TV Show back in the 1960's of us,,, called the "Jetsons"

Anyway, heres a Photo of my "Miss Moonraker" , she hadn't even had time to take her "Atmospheric Helmet" off yet as I snapped the photo

P.S. : Don't know who's Humanoid Rug Rats those are, but there NOT ours, however we adopted them anyway for Expermentation !!

See the Happy Couple walking away behind Miss Moonraker = Hint !!!!

Enjoy : Capt. Jetranger

Thanks JetRanger, what a very nice piece especially about the 727 ac. I had a friend in Vietnam who flew Broncos, AC47 and etc. He got hired on to American and flew for them until the 60 rule got him and then he went to flying regional for some sub carrier for AA. He and I stayed in touch until his death of natural causes. He had probably 25-30,000 thousand hours of flight with probable 28,000 as PIC. He told me flat out that the 727 was his very favorite ac he ever flew. It just handle well and just a super smooth flight characteristics of anything he had ever flown. Of course he didn't like the AP. He stated the trijet with the #2 in the tail was probably the reason for the comfortable flight characteristics and of course the wing design. Thanks again for the great piece!!! Homeboy

Yep... all of the things we dreamed of as kids; The Home, the Car, Transit 'Of Tomorrow', etc...

It's all been replaced. Now, 'The Dreams' only last until the next News Cycle, the next Quarterly Report, and the next Election Cycle.

Alan :? :cry: :oops:
