@JodyDenberg @KUTX @IronAndWine I've "only" been listening along for 27 years. You're passion for the sound waves is felt. Thank you for introducing me to so much art, humanity, feelings, and more.

Some visuals, one definitely don't want to see on Ramps, and specifically around an aircraft.

A scene from Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Canada on 09 July where many snakes spilled onto the apron after a box got broken open.

Ground handling staffs were shocked when they saw the snakes suddenly scattered around.

@RobHTX78 @chrisgb002000 @TexasFootball @SpursRadio @KSMedia13 @Hornvoice That’s not just any trainer, it’s the legendary Spanky Stephens. He was a UT trainer for 30+ years and an all-time good guy.

@derrickjeter While Lubbock does have quantity, I’d like to point everyone to my hometown Memphis (and Turkey) while reminding y’all that Bob Wills is still the King.

In April 1970, Jack Swigert found himself away on a last minute trip and realized he hadn't submitted his taxes on time.

Luckily, Mission Control in Houston confirmed that a trip to the Moon did in fact qualify him for a 60 day "out of the country" extension. #Apollo13 #TaxDay

#OTD in 1948, Chuck Yeager flew Bell X-1 to the highest velocity and altitude of any piloted airplane up to that time. He reached Mach 1.45 and flew to an altitude of 71,900 feet.

On this date, in 1969 the first #B747 took flight from Everett. Fifty five years later it is still the #QueenoftheSkies!

Long live the Queen!

@crankyflier @porterairlines KJ!! Brings back good HP memories

[National Air and Space Museum @airandspace]

75 years ago today, Chuck Yeager piloted Bell X-1 in the only ground takeoff of the X-1 program.

Originally designed for conventional ground takeoffs, safety and performance concerns prompted mission planners to air-launch X-1 aircraft from Boeing B-29 or B-50 Superfortresses.
