Didn't we have a movie gallery? I lost it (I did look)! Anyhow, something you might find of interest:

Sorry, the link was removed at the request of "davem"

I am not trying to be a jerk, but....

1. Is this not what the "Base Theatre" was created for?

2. Are postings like this and the apparently funny Hitler video kinda, sorta, off topic for this forum?

Am I the only one that thinks this way?

Dave

I'll be in Seattle mid-June for the American Society of Aviation Artists annual forum to coincide with the opening of our juried exhibition. One of our tours will be Boeing.

Nope, don't want to offend the posting police. As I said, I looked and was unable to remember the name or the location of the "Base Theater" at the time. Now that I have finally found the "Base Theater" (no thanks to the helpful posting above), I can't be bothered to post it again because I already deleted the link and don't have it at home.

I will try to find it again at work tomorrow and send it to you via PM.

All the ptomane outlets in the factory (cafeterias) have Stargaks in urns (makes Howies crappie overroasted dreck even worse) and there are 5 TULLEYs in the factory. The DREAMLIFTER Cafe' is the next floor down from where I work and TULLEYs is about 3 assembly bays away between the triple 7 and 67 lines or nearly a quarter of a mile and I'll walk to TULLEYs before I get coffee downstairs!!
And for those who find 1/4 might be a stretch, remember you can play 75 simultanious football games on just the cement floor @ Everett :shock:

Nothing. Unfortunately, WIX is becoming overrun with wannabe moderators who think it's their job to flame every user who posts anything that might not be in the right place instead of just asking them to move it to the right place or making the moderators aware so they can move the thread.

Actually, I toured the Everett plant last year. They have a Tully's Coffe store right in the middle of the plant!

It took my wife and I over 2 hours to walk the entire plant from sheet metal to complete airplane! Stuck my head up inside a wing of a fresh 777 (come to think of it, it might have been a 767?)and it seems they still use the same fuel tank sealants as we use on the C-54! Same old smell.....

I wanted to see the video!!! Why are we apparently being over run by the moderator elite (SS Panzer Totenkopf Division).

Or would Geheime Staatspolizei be more appropriate??
