I'm sure there are a few bike paths around the factory premises of SAC...

True, and had I mentioned I built a New 06 Pinarello Prince into a flat bar road bike last spring?? Road bike with flat bar, I bought down tube shifters, but had to have the Bike Dr. intall some Paul's Thumbies.
Anyway, the county then chipped and sealed the blacktop in front of my house, lots of loose gravel and sharp chips that cause flats and ding your frame all up?

Yes, complete with a Brooks vintage saddle, it is really too pretty to ride on that mess,
so I ride my old Cannondale R700, but it has a flat right now??:(:mad:
So I look at my bikes and get fatter and fatter, like the Hebrew children???

So, will Shenyang get us some pictures of the FC-31, probably they will, since this is an "export bird"???:cool:

Yes, the angels are coming this Sat... I'm debating if I should go though! I'm not a big fan or 'carnival' type atmosphere and parking is horrendous... Too bad they don't have Fat Albert anymore though.. that was always a sight to see with that JATO.

Now that I'm done with school (for three months any way), I can actually attend one in person!

Hopefully one of them comes to Texas in the near future.

I went to an annual airshow at the Arllington field in Houston a while back (I think it was 2002/3). They got the Thunderbirds and F-117A and a semi with a fighter jet turbofan mounted on it. Unfortunately, it was a rainy and cloudy day. The F-16's never took off. The only time the F-117A took off was when it decided to leave... We were sitting literally next to the F-16's, which were warming up the entire time. I was sitting there without my earbuds. So my ears kept ringing for at least a month...

And then our car was stuck in the mud, which was originally a lawn turned into a parking lot. All the rain turned the lawn into a mud bath. So I had to push the car when my wife was in the driving seat. I ended up covered with mud from head to toe.

I have always wanted to go back and watch the show again, but my wife doesn't want to go through that ordeal again. So we haven't been able to go back...

"Check Six!!!! Flight Leada" !!!!!, I believe you opened the first round in this volley, and the fertile minds of your fellow Sino D's, have just "returned fire"???

So, we are waiting on "FC-31-2", "J-20 2102" from Emperor Xi, and wasn't PAK-FA 6-2 from Mr. Putin scheduled to fly yesterday?

don't forget to take your blood pressure medicine, being all tense like that could get you a "triple bypass"?? I know first hand! I am most concerned about 2102????? FC-31-2 will hopefully make a public "debut", maybe even fly in an "airshow" later this year as did the J-31??
