Hello again

I'll just write to get in touch with the world, since its sorta been a while.  Anyway, I've been recovering from the black plague, thanks for asking, and I'm on my way toward infecting the rest of the house, starting with the dog that is conveniently laying right next to me.  What else....oh yea. I've been taking Driver's Ed, I've done about 5 classes so far, but a pro at driving like me, doesn't really need to take all 15, but anyway.  I've also got an Eagle Project in the works.  Yeah. *applause* Hopefully I'll be getting approvals by the town and by the council soon and we can get the ball rolling on this.  I've been doing research on what I'm going to construct which is: (Drum roll please) A trail staircase.  But that's a whole other story.  Anywho...I'll throw in some pictures of Chester Airport.
The Chester Airport cat.  Because no airport would be complete without a black cat running a muck.



The one, the only, N9603Q taking off. (Pop's plane)



NOT N9603Q.  This would be the training plane that they use to train young pilots

This is 1200 horses of pure Pratt and Whitney power.  It is a 24 cylinder aircraft engine that the organization "Connecticut Corsair" will put in their...you guessed it...Corsair.  The Corsair was a WWII fighter plane.  It's the blue one with fold-able wings that was on the aircraft carriers.  You know what I'm talking about.  So this organization is currently building one here at Chester.  It's still in many pieces across the country, but at least the engine is here.  Fun fact: The Corsair was built in Bridgeport.

N9603Q

Just thought this was cool


This is inside the shop where all the parts for the previously mentioned Corsair are stored.   Some of the parts, at least.

The hangar is full of old WWII stuff.
