RE: THE THREAD!!!
We left Coningsby about 1815, a quick jaunt around a few villages in Lincolnshire and then down south. We did a flypast at RAF Benson, followed by two past Boscombe Down. Then back to the Old Country (RAF Brize Norton) for a roller (touch and go if you prefer). Then four passes of somewhere else that I don't know before going back home. All told it was about 2 1/2 hours in the air, and my first experience of airsickness thanks to changing turrets partway through and a lungful of exhaust fumes. The guy I swapped with had the same experience, we were both fine until we changed seats [:D]

RE: THE THREAD!!!
Speaking of pictures, the house looks great in the photos for the online listing. They already had a For Sale sign up in the yard when I got home. Then, some wind and rain knocked out power to the neighborhood for about 2.5 hours. While it was still out, some people saw the sign and stopped to look around. They called the realtor and he showed them the house with no power. [:D] Worked great for us, as it really showed off how much light we have everywhere from being the end unit in a row of townhouses. The house wasn't even fully listed in the realtor network online yet, they just happened to see the sign. Our guy said they seemed very interested and we might actually receive an offer today. [:D]

Nicely staged, USS Mike. You done good.
There *is* a curious pattern of dead grass outside the downstairs slider though. Can you think of a reason for such a curious pattern? I think, if memory suits, that you can think of two reasons, eh? [;)]

Martin-thanks for the pictures. Sorry you got airsick, but sounds like a marvelous flight. [8D]
I assume you didn't tell the upper class pilots (about your airsickness), lest they lord it over you in perpetuity?

LOL.... yeah, down to only 1 reason now, but it's the big reason for a path to be worn in the grass. [:D]
