LOL..They do look about APU size now compared to papa, don’t they?
Looks like a rough landing would peel that engine off the wing.
“I would have guessed 1930’s or 40’s.”
No, no, no...
She is a spring chicken!
big hole for FLT LVL ducks and a goose or two.
Quntas is parking all their A380’s there.
OMG! I used to hear that on the radio out in Tustin/Santa Ana back in the late 80’s. What a rip! (And a truer statement about the vacuous, self-promoting generation thereto.)
One heck of a way to prepare Duck for the In Flight Dinner.
Killed, De-Feathered, Roasted, Portioned, and Plated. All in about 8-10 minutes and nary a hiccup or burp from that Engine. It will take longer to make the Orange Sauce than anything else.
da chicken cannon...
note to foreigners, thaw them first
Renton activities will move to Everett.
The battle of the sexes was great.. and courting. Both win wins. Too bad kids won't get to experience one of life's joys, anymore.
They seem to be having fun, check it out: https://youtu.be/i1RTwZHErDY
I remember seeing that on the Gong Show in about 1978. Chuck Barris picked some real winners!
LOL !!!

That is it!!!
She even makes the same arm motions.
The Chicken Cannon
Scientists at NASA built a special cannon to launch standard 6-pound, whole dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea was to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.
Engineers working on the Bullet Train project heard about the cannon and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a cannon was sent to the Bullet Train engineers.
The engineers were excited to see the results of years of hard work and planning. They set up the experiment and even invited several government officials to attend that had championed the funding of this project. They had a grand ceremony with a countdown. The speedy bullet train roared down the test track at over 200 mph and the engineers fired the chicken cannon.
After the canon was fired, the engineers stood in shock as they viewed in horror at the damage. The shatterproof glass was smashed to smithereens, there was a huge hole in the control console, the driver’s seat had the head rest blown off, and the chicken embedded into the back wall of the train engine’s cabin.
Luckily this was an unmanned test, so no one was hurt except for the pride of the engineers. It was as if they were little boys who broke their prize Christmas present. That chicken trashed their modern marvel.
Immediately the engineers began assessing the damages, took numerous photos and measurements and sent a full report, along with their pages of scientific designs to engineers at NASA. The desperate engineers were totally dumbfounded and asked for an explanation of what could have possibly gone wrong? Their email to the head engineer at NASA said, “Please help us understand how to resolve this issue. We followed all standard protocols and double checked every safety precaution prior to the test with the chicken cannon!”
In just a few minutes, the Bullet Train engineers were shocked by the rapid response. The head engineer at NASA responded with just one short line in bold, all capital letters:
“DEFROST THE CHICKEN FIRST!”

WOW! 10% more efficient that the current model?
Amazing.
A nice find.
Thanks.
Now hopefully Boeing learned their lesson from the 737Max debacle, and will be treating any plane with this new bigger engine, as a NEW PLANE DESIGN, and not skimp on certification
