My good friend Cindy King Barrow of Snigs Spot has a request. She asked me to link the post from her blog. I cannot say no to her for this one.

Will now be sucked up here. Airplane pR0n of the best kind.  Embrace the fact that it’s Monday, it’s the summer, and you really, really want to just check out this great collection of flight test, moto, manufacturer and just flat out great airplane flicks!  Go on, I dare you not to watch at least one.  Oh, and then bookmark the site. :)

Found a good one at The Brigade today.

As a side note, I attended a job fair in Wichita that was for Bell Helicopter Textron in Amarillo before I got the hire notice for Edwards.

Good story here folks.
