    A few years back, she ferried this to Anchorage (I think it was Anchorage... Fairbanks?... someplace in AK)



    And, so took the opportunity to go to Denali, for some rock climbing... where the previous picture was taken.

    Somehow, she actually got rated to fly that monstrosity. She also holds hot air balloon license (just for her bristols, as she says - UK'ers would laugh), some sort of license and rating for ships up to something like 300 metric tonnes... she's a strange one. Sailed across the Atlantic on small ships several times, once solo in an 11 meter sailboat. Crewed on Jackie O's yacht (decades ago) for a spell before coming to the USA. She's utterly dyslexic, so the running joke was she was trying to get back to the UK, and ended up in New York......

    As for a brokered convention, it will destroy the GOP. McCain and Romney are well meaning, and totally flaccid, impotent "play alongs", beholding to their donors.

    Whilst Romney was above calling out Obama on Benghazi, Trump is not. He will call out HRC on that, travelgate, Vince Foster, covering for and threatening all of Bills women, female equality, the email security, and her failed attempted at health care.... just to name a few. There is no blow too low for DJT.

    As for Trump the candidate - he's a customer of mine. I've dealt with his staff for 15 years. In fact, the company I work for "threw me in the lions pit" on my 3rd day on the job, by sending me a Trump property. I got the job corrected, worked with Trumps people. At that particular property, I'm well regarded to this day, as someone who worked with them to get get the job done.

    No feather in my cap. They're exacting. They ask the questions others don't think of. They always seem to be thinking three moves down the road, no matter what direction the road is going. They're good. To a man, they were all excellent to work with. They were like that teacher you remember as being stern, but fair. And, they all covered their butts with clauses in contracts.... clauses that made you stop and think... WTF? They wanted an ace in every hole. They had an ace in every hole.

    No doubt, when Trump says I can build it faster and cheaper, he can, because he writes good contracts and holds folks to those contracts, and... and... he surrounds himself with good people, excellent people.

    No doubt whatsoever he could run the show. For a strong country, you need a strong leader. You need a no BS kind of guy. You need a guy with balls who's not afraid to be ballsy.

      The last time a brokered convention destroyed a party the Republican party was born and a guy named Abaham Lincoln became it's first president. I'm shakin', I'm shakin'.

        Breaking this POS may be just what the country needs.

          I've never met Trump, but every time he's on TV the hair goes up on my rottweiler's back and he starts that low growl. That makes the hair on my neck go up.

                  The Beaver is one of the most popular planes in Alaska. Reliable, lots of manual controls, straight forward if you know what your doing. I never flown one but sure heard lots about them.
