Still at the Airport
Next to the C-45 was a bright yellow T-6 Texan trainer. In great condition.
It is very much bright yellow. For visibility I suppose. It works very well.
One of my favorite parts of a military plane.
The view ahead.
Powaaaaah! Not really a place I'd want to stand if it was running.
Hamilton Standard prop. Keeping a lot of planes in the air since... a really long time.
Went to the Airport Today
Heard on the radio that there was going to be a B-29 Super Fortress at the Santa Maria Airport. (And to think I heard someone say that listening to radio is stupid.... How sad is that? If I hadn't been listening I wouldn't have known about this.) Fortunately, I don't live toooo far from there. A short drive and $10 later, I was on the concrete looking at some old planes.
In addition to the B-29 (I'll get to that in a bit), there was a C-45 Expeditor.
Here's a plaque on the C-45.
Looks like European Invasion stripes. I think.
The five planes were here from the Commemorative Air Force.
This man was a C-45 pilot. Said they were great fliers, but a handful on the ground. The nose made it hard to see forward. Told me a story of a fellow that stopped in front of one to look at something, and the nose passed right over him, then knocked him down under the fuselage till he was run over by the tail wheel! Good thing the fellow didn't get hit by a prop.... He had me take a few pictures of him with the plane, I was very happy to oblige.
What a thing to see, a true piece of history.

Lineup for the week:
Monday

Hour one: First Interaction. While technology has been used to bring people together, it can also bring the perils of unknown danger. Social media is a great place to connect and expand one's social life, but the vulnerability to a lack of safety is a legitimate threat when it comes to meeting people online. Hiding behind a computer screen, it is very easy to pretend to be anyone. That is why Hawaii-based entrepreneur, Cynthia Tercier, created the very first social media/meetup website with mandatory background checks for all of its members. Cynthia is an expert in online safety, and how to socializing and find activity partners, friends, or romantic interests online. Knowing how important it is be able to be assured those using and interacting with you on the same social platforms are legitimate, Cynthia created a social meet up website where members can find and connect with those interested in the same activities or hobbies, or for people just looking to meet new people to socialize with. We have her for tonight!

April Fools revisited
1957
- The BBC broadcast a documentary that showed how Italians harvested
spaghetti from trees. Many viewers believed the hoax and attempted to
purchase spaghetti seeds from their local seed stores.
1996 - Taco Bell took out a full-page ad in the New York Times announcing that the taco chain had actually purchased the Liberty Bell. Claiming that they bought it to reduce the national debt, they re-named it the Taco Liberty Bell. It was, of course, an April Fool's prank.
1998 - Burger King advertised a left-handed hamburger. According to their ad, the burger was designed specifically for left-handed people as it would only drip its juices from the right-hand side. Another April Fools prank.
2008 - Today is when the BBC reported the story of a rare flock of flying penguins in Antarctica that migrated from the South Pole to the Amazon Rain Forest. In case you were wondering, penguins don’t fly.
All from Ward's Daily Almanac: http://wbward.com/almanac%20main.htm

Ouch, that's quite a prank....
1993
– As an April Fools’ prank, DJ Dave Rickards told listeners of KGB-FM
in San Diego that Space Shuttle Discovery had been diverted from Edwards
Air Force Base and would be landing at Montgomery Field, a small
municipal airport with a 4,577 foot runway. Thousands of people went to
the airport to watch the purported landing, causing traffic jams
throughout Kearny Mesa. Moreover, there wasn't even a shuttle in orbit
at the time.

In Some States....
You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who
was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he
owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored
in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel.
By Southern California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is
considered "mentally unstable."
In Michigan, he'd be called "The last white guy still living in
Detroit."
In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector."
In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector."
In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd
probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a
corresponding quantity of stored food."
In Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a
friend."
In Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy."
In Alabama, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate."
In Georgia, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."
In North Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and
South Carolina he would be called "a deer hunting buddy."
And in Texas he'd just be "Bubba, who's a little short on ammo."
