To fly: the dream of man and flightless bird alike

So today I went to the Air Show and had to work. Lady's and Gentlemen, I give you spaceship one!
For those of you who read about the X prize cup and all might find this to be familiar. This odd looking thing does go up in space. It will be what Virgin Galactic will be based on. Speaking of which if someone wishes to book me on a trip on it, I will post pictures on here.
I saw some various X prize attempts today. I think they were for a moon based vechile. The attempt I remember called for the vechile to go up 50 meters, over 50 meters and be able to stay up for 90 seconds. Armadillo Aerospace came very close on one attempt that I watched. I would post a photo, but due to the distance we had to be and the fact I didn't have my zoom lens on the camera I don't really have any photos worth posting. However for your consideration I will post this here picture of a F-22.
Being an air show there was more then just space stuff. This is what I will be seeing in the air around here soon. It would seem that these are going to start being rotated in. Currently I get to watch F-117s and German Tornado's fly about.
I did see plenty of the German Air Force around which was cool. Also I got saluted a lot today. I blame this on being on main base in uniform. Usually I'm up at the Test Group and this sort of thing doesn't happen. But oh well.
I would be talking about football outcomes here, but seeing as how one team is not done yet I'll have to have a different time to discuss this.
So now it is time to look into packing and dinner and getting myself and the apartment ready for travel. So I hope all goes well. Also I have noticed something about all this blogging. The Skip and I are very close in the number of posts we have up, and I do my best to leave at least on comment on each of her posts and I tend to about the same from her. The boy on the other hand seems to wait on his posts until a number of comments have built up.
