?I’ll double post this, sending it over movies chat as well, but this looks interesting.
Hollywood in the Boro: Korean War-era movie ‘Devotion’ filming at Statesboro-Bulloch County Airport
The rebuilt flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Leyte was filled Friday with classic military aircraft, along with actors, directors and technicians that are part of the Korean War-era film “Devotion.” The $90-million major-motion picture is filming several action scenes at the...www.statesboroherald.com
I hadn't clicked on this thread when I posted the same thing to the movies thread. Looks like both of us probably get the daily AOPA email.
I occasionally double post to keep things spicy.
Maybe if they start doing Hooters you can get @mad dog back in the cockpit.
Chuck, I’ll,see your 36 knots and raise you 100....lol. Last night into Memphis. They actually picked up even more on the descent but weren’t straight in the face... A month ago I saw a 777 FO screeen shot of a 701 ground speed... ?
Former Royal Army ship, I’ll bet. Some guy out west bought a bunch as surplus and has been converting them for civilian use. Can’t get them out of the Experimental category because they are “warbirds.”
Nice looking ship.
Well with an afternoon free on my last day of TDY here at KCOS, what's an intrepid aviator to do? Find an unused airplane and schedule himself for a little mountain flying expedition, that's what! Explored some of the passes around Pike's Peak and practiced some high elevation traffic pattern ops. Its been years since I had flown in the mountains, so a little self directed ORM. Airplane is a Turbo 182T, so I had 32" of MP on demand to power my way out of any trouble, I was solo and relatively light on fuel, so good gross weight performance margins, and I took a very low workload path after briefing with some of the local IP's. If mountain wave turbulence became a problem the gouge was to go on O2 and climb to 15.k or greater. So off I went. KCOS - KCOS... Pike's Peak in the middle (dark brown spot, at 14.5K. Westbound VFR at 12.5, Eastbound at 11.5

You got a beautiful day to tool around the Rockies!
Edit: couldn't have been chuck buzzing over my house today...missed that he did his flights yesterday. Too bad, the flying weather is even better today. No wind, blue skies, mid 70s.
If I didn't have to go pick up my curtain climber from toddler jail here in a few hours, I'd sit out back and drink beer.

We had 10+ aircraft at Peterson - I departed early Friday for home (DTS commercial air). But a lot of folks stayed the weekend to put hours on the assorted aircraft. We used Hangar 140 as our base for the event...
On the other side of our hangar were these guys:
And across from our aircraft were some pretty sweet vehicles - armored Land Cruisers and Suburbans all with SATCOM (@mad dog is all about the cop cars)
These dudes had their own private weight room (you can see rack behind vehicles).
The scene looked great with our aircraft lined up against Old Glory:
I always wanted 70 series cruiser. I liked the up armored ones overseas but they were slow as balls.
The 200s start at 90,000. I haven't done much research but I'd be surprised if Toyota sold enough of them stateside to justify bringing the next generation here.
