I loved growing up at the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall. It was a magical place for a child. 1973. #grange #grangefair #grangefairandencampment #encampment #glamping #theoriginalglamping #ferriswheel #ferriswheelphoto #ferriswheelphotos #helicopters #foodstand #foodstands #midway #themidway #walkingthemidway #fairtime #fairgoers #fairgoer #frequentfairgoer #1970s #familyfun #familyouting #funouting #outing #summerouting #summeroutings #vacation #vacations #holiday #holidays

This hour’s random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is this classic (and heavily Photoshopped) image that has been going around for years.

It is the “Hotelicopter” and I cannot tell you the number of people I found online that believed it was real.

Enjoy!

I just suck at flying #helicopters in my #XPlane #flightsim. Just tried to land a Bell 47 on an Oil Rig Platform, and the results were pretty exciting.

Little fun flying a nice PA-18 Super Cub around KOSH in my #xplane #flightsim on a cold, foggy #PNW day. Lots of T & Gs at Pioneer and the Ultralights strip.

“Hey Sikorsky overhead Oshkosh, this is the Super Cub behind and below you. U good?”

I guess the AI in my #MacbookPro random desktop background generator must have picked up that I have firefighting helicopters on the brain today. This is a 2023 Global Identification Chart from HeliOps.

This hour’s random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is this press release image from San Diego Fire Department of N283 Sierra Delta, one of their Sikorsky S-70i Firehawk #firefighting #helicopters.

Just take a few seconds to look at this incredible #rotorcraft. This is one BADASS fire assault and rescue machine, and without question, you need to be a seriously great chopper driver to fly right seat in it.

This hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this rendering of a fictional “Hotelicopter”…there were more than a few that believed it was real.

It’s not.

#Govts and #bigBusiness are using the #opportunity (#crisis) for various things, good and bad, including, no particular order:
- test #reduceTravel (especially #airTravel), not necessarily for the #powerElite who can use #privateJets and #helicopters.
- test #UBI,
- buy up #assets at #lowerPrices,
- boost #militaryBudget, increase #militarisation of #policeForce (especially in #Australia),
