Concorde and dreams

It's a great shame that Concorde doesn't fly anymore. I hope that someone somewhere is working on a new supersonic passenger aircraft because it seems a bit backward that there isn't one in operation anymore. I understand that it wasn't making money any longer but still, there must be other options to explore.

The iconic silhouette, the afterburners, the incredible noise, it's all pretty inspirational (for me anyway).

I had a pretty funny dream the other night that went like this.... I went to some airfield where they were flying vintage World War II aircraft and I hopped in a Spitfire and tried to take off. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and crashed it immediately. Somehow I was completely unharmed but the plane was destroyed, and needless to say everyone at the airfield was really annoyed with me. Then some guy handed me the end of a long piece of rope. I looked up and it was attached to a Lancaster bomber which was way up in the sky, and the guy told me to "help her land". So I gave the rope a tug and the guy screamed "NOT THAT HARD!!" and the Lancaster began to plummet nose-first towards the ground where it crashed and blew up and everyone on board died. This time everyone at the airfield went crazy and a lynch mob came after me with the intention of killing me. I hid for a while amongst the outbuildings at the airfield and then fled into the forest. A couple of times I was found by a member of the mob, but I killed them before they killed me. This went on for a while before I just woke up.

There you go, not your normal blog entry!
