Passion!
This website is devoted to passion!
I'm
a firm
believer in
it - whether it be music, cooking, painting, history - all of which I
love - or airplanes, trains, boats and other things, which I also love.
When you're on
the green side of the grass - you ought to live and love life with
gusto.
You
are entering a very popular, albeit, very esoteric website.
It is devoted to some of the things I find
interesting.
Nothing more, and nothing less. Other folks must enjoy some
of
the same things too, as this website has received many
millions of visits in the past few years - including one especially
notable
day (Sept. 28, 2010), when 1,508,235 hits were recorded in a single
day! In September 2010, I
had
over 6 million hits with half a million visitors.
All, without a shred of advertising or
promotion. Not bad, not too bad at all.
Although
the subject matter is pretty narrowly focused, I try to cover it
comprehensively and in detail, mostly based upon my own personal
experiences. I'm retired after working for Boeing for over 30
years, and have loved airplanes for more than 50. I also like
trains and boats, and, well, ....a whole lot of other stuff.
I've been a very active
volunteer at the Museum of Flight in Seattle since 1965, (Yes - that's
over 50 years!), and have managed a series
of major projects for them, including the 727 / 737 / 747 Prototypes,
Concorde, B-52, Electra and Super Constellation.
So, a lot of this material
covers these and other projects. But, it is not the Museum's
website! Not everyone can come to Seattle or see
these airplanes in person - so this will allow you a sort of virtual
tour. Actually, some of this coverage may be much better
than what you could get if you did visit in person - but DO come anyway!
I
have enormous data, personal experience, and photographic resources and
only hope I can find
the time to process and create pages that will share some of these
subjects, in depth, with like-minded people throughout the
world.
What's on these pages now is only 1% of what I
have
squirreled away!
So,
forgive me if some of it could be better, fancier, or more up-to-date.
Someday.......
Enjoy!
