Daddy's office

We had an opportunity to go and check out the plane, inside and out.

Daddy did not go with us.

He did not meet us at the plane.

He was busy golfing and attempting to get a specific hole in one to win a brand new Jetta.

He did not get a hole in one. It only sat in our driveway because he was in charge of getting it to the tournament.

However, we had a fabulous time without him scientifically explaining anything. It was really a lot more fun this way.  We explained it all ourselves.

First we saw the size of the plane.

 Here is the fancy mumbo jumbo about the plane.

Fun true fact: it has a train air conditioning unit on it, modified of course since it was meant to air condition a train and not a plane. Confused the company once when they called trying to figure out to fix an issue. The company was floored once they learned it was being used in a plane and not a train.

There are 2 pilots because they have four of these things they have to cranked by hand to get it going.  It goes faster with 2 and keeps everything in better balance. They also have a special ladder on wheels I think.

 This is where R2D2 can fix things externally while in flight.  They also occasionally have contests as to who can catch the most bugs in their teeth during take off.

 So easy, a 2yr old can do it.

 Most of those gauges are just for show. It makes the pilots feel like they are important.

 This is one of the nap time beds.  It can actually become a bunk bed, making for a total of 3 nap time beds, one is in the cockpit.

 This is the time out chair in the way back.  A very secure 5 point harness. Lesson here, mind your P's & Q's.

See ya next time!
