Well, Reality Bites.

I mean.....  I always figured by now I'd have my own live aboard  stratocruiser, you know, something to keep you going over those long holiday weekends away from the maddening crowds, and I mean well away!

Like today, I saw an advert for this old 707 in Seattle, low hours, good tyres. No current airworthy certificate though. Got a permit to move her out of the country with a bit of fast talking, gonna take it home to Australia and paint in a GREASED LIGHTNING theme and race John Travolta and his old wreck of a Boeing around the world in it.

Anyways, at the end of the first flight in her, (seattle to Honolulu), I still had a bit of energy left so I decided to just go for it and do a sunset circuit, just to top the day off as it were.

I roared out and around the Inactive for a laugh, I mean, these blokes won't see me 'round these parts for a while anyway right? Now I just gotta figure out where to park it and quietly get a snooze in before morning......











Oh, heck! It was all a dream!  >:(

looks completely beautiful.  ;)
having fun then?

Love the touchdown shot

Truely amazing...these shots keep getting better and better!  ;D

Nice shots.

Yet you must tell me one thing,

Where did you get it?!?!?!

"Look out!  Rogue stratocruiser on the runway!"

Its nice to see someone buying up all those nice used aircraft . . .

That touchdown shot is really awesome. Nicely done

The good old 707...

Great shots! lovely plane too!

so let me break the ice and say- wherre'd ya get it!?  ;D

beautiful shots!

The 707 is available at the Historic jetliner group's webpage.
But I must admit, it handles like a pig  ;D

And were the 707's really called stratocruisers, I thougth it was their 377 model (the chubby, double deck, 4 engine prop)  ???

Anyways, gorgoeous pics of a pioneer airliner  :)

Nice landing, I always crash in anything bigger than a Cessna 172...

Pretty shots
