“Everyone completely ignored this astronaut up on the stage who was in the middle of some story, but instead of him being put out about it, he could be heard to encourage the audience to turn around and watch: “Go ahead and watch! We are aviation enthusiasts up here too, and all of us are watching too!”

That is super cool! It would be a keeper for me too. What an honor for himself also, not everyone gets the honor of being interrupted by an SST takeoff! I’ll bet he never forgot it either! lol

Aliens love charred barbeque. What did you think was happening to all those cow parts?

You REALLY want to clear out an elevator? Get on a crowded one, when the door closes open a BIG BIBLE! Just open it. You will have it all to yourself by the third floor.

I hardly ever use a paper-based Bible these days. It’s on my phone and my laptop.

It was a grand thing. I am one of those people-my wife laughs at me, when we are outside in the yard or pretty much anywhere, if I hear a plane or helicopter, I have to look...:)

I am an aviation nut, no doubt...and it was nice to see that you apparently don’t grow out of it...

Same here. Grew up in a remote training ground area with all the air activity. Been buzzed a lot as a random target or “scare run” growing up. I have had exhaust blow my hat off from a low run. So yep, always look! lol

But Dad was in the AF and took us to the air shows at Edwards AFB every year. As a kid I fell in love with flight and became obsessed with the physics and dynamics of flight and have been ever since. :)
