More Inspiration

Hi.  Since the crew is on Christmas holiday, I thought I would show you another inspiring display at the Martin Museum Learning Center.  I don't know what the make or model number of this jet is, so if you do, please leave a comment.  It is for a single person (no, I am not referring to marital status) and has twins (jet engines).  It probably has gobs of power.  Reminds me of the aircraft saying that goes, "Enough power is not nearly enough, lots of power is getting close, and way too much power is just about right."

Hopefully, next week the work will resume on the glider and these updates will be back on topic.

I wish my name was Maj. Phelps Digger

Wing with leading edge flaps.

I couldn't resist.  I pushed one of the release buttons, and it popped out.  After I took the picture, I pushed it again, and it stayed in.  Wonder how it works?

Nice view of the jet exhaust.  Engines were removed (no, I didn't steal them).

This is where the engines reside.  I wanted to crawl inside and look at the cool workmanship, but my claustophobia said NO!
