So Racer is back, what happened to him?

Racer has been the LAST guy to clock out at the Airplane Factory. Been working my tail off. LAST guy out the door each night.

Your a racer...you can't go slow enough to knock me out out of LAST...

My plane and I are just plain LAST!
Pure and simple...simply LAST...

Yep.

Been working 70 hour weeks.

In LAST.

Gonna get that mortgage paid off so I can stop driving 65 miles a day round trip to build these things.

This first picture shows a left hand wing in laydown. That is where the wings go after the crew I'm on puts the white panels on the upper trailing edge (the farthest away in the first pic).

The wings are built up standing vertically, on the rear spar (trailing edge). The next picture shows workers who build up the upper trailing edge, at the outermost end of the wing, almost at the wing tip, which is to the left in this shot.

What is really awesome is when the crane moves the center section after the wing/body join is complete. Whenever the cranes are moving a load, they blow a horn, just like the air horn on a Big Truck. Everyone in the area will stop for a moment to determine if they need to stop or whatever, and then move on about their business.

But when I see this move, I stop and watch it. I don't get to see it very often, but when I do I watch it from beginning to end. The size of everything is colossal.

{By the way, I did not take the pictures here myself, no, I stole them from the internet. I know, what a bad guy. And LAST!}
 
Great Pics racer ! That just shows that you are so fast you will always be first. I know Silly goose will be loose when your plane makes all the noise as it flies past her in second. Big Daves horse will jump and run off leaving Big Dave in Third. The Pilot will dive bomb Flounder, leaving me to run to home in Last. The Greatest Nation on Earth. I am L.A.S.T. I must be off.........................................................

Great Pictures RacerX69!.. If I was working there, I'd always be LAST in production due to just looking at the Airplanes under construction....Aircraft of any type are beautiful works of art.......Just like me....in LAST...
 
Pilot will dive bomb Flounder.........................................................


He's an easy target....just look for his finger.....and I know the coordinates to call in Silly Goose with a "bomb bay" loaded with "Goodies" for him....

That makes me LAST of the LAST..........

Keep those fingers in your pocket folks.....
 
Great Pictures RacerX69!..

Thanks.

But again, I am LASTly here since they are not my pictures.

Mine would have been way better.

LASTly speaking, of course.

If I was working there, I'd always be LAST in production due to just looking at the Airplanes under construction....

Yep. It is an awesome place to go into each day. But I think I am coming in LAST as I go in each day. A large percentage of the people who work there seem to be unhappy with their lot there. They grumble and gripe about everything.

But you never hear them complain about the paycheck.

Or the benefits.

Medical, dental, short and long term disability. Cheap. Real cheap.

I like it.

Here in LAST.

As I walk out the door to go home, again, LAST.

Aircraft of any type are beautiful works of art.......

Like this 1929 Travelair Mrs. Racer and I spent a couple hours in LAST July. It was a very enjoyable flight that gave us both LASTing memories. The scenery from the air was definitely LASTing forever in our minds.

This should have been the LAST that we would see the state ferry as part of our flight.

But the pilot of the plane on the runway below forgot to lower his wheels before landing and came to rest on the floats in stead.

In the middle of the runway.

In LAST.

So our first LAST landing was at Friday Harbor. On San Juan Island.

This is the LAST landing we made that day. Back at our point of origin, the "airport" on Orcas Island.

At LAST.

By the way, pretty sweet biplane. A 1929 Travelair. LAST made during the LAST part of the Roaring Twenties. The owner, a retired US Navy pilot, bought the plane after his years in the Navy, bought a hangar on Orcas Island and began selling rides.

Since 1991 Rod Magner has taken more than 20,000 people up for the same exact tour. Never a hitch. Never a different course. Not one single problem for 23 years of going up, showing his customers the beauty of the San Juan Islands.

And on our flight, this thing with the other pilot and plane caused us to have to divert from the flight that had been done 20,000 times before. Our capable pilot and host simply diverted to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. We landed there, and after a brief wait took off and made our way back to Orcas. The detour gave us essentially a second lap around the islands, but not exactly on the same route and the first.

So on the LAST part of the flight we saw scenery that some 20,000 people before us never got to see.

It was pretty cool, in a LASTly kind of way.

And Rod said that he hoped it was the LAST time too. He had to reschedule another flight he had on his calendar for that day.

Another set of great Pictures Racer... Thanks!....Sweet Memory Makers are what they are!.....Like the sweet fleeting memories of your LAST...

Which didn't LAST..... Now I am Flying high in LAST......

The oldest Plane I flew was an early 40's Champ....Low and slow....(which is how I learned to be LAST not fast)......It really was a refreshing joy to fly....But when the mood struck to turn the World upside down....we always got the Citabra out...150 horses and inverted fuel and oil systems....
Memories that will LAST and LAST.....here in LAST.....
