That, I believe, was in response to the dad who took his son to work in the New York tower.

Great collection of cartoons, Wayne! I loved the “Take your children to work” strip.

Cheers,

Mitch

Funny stuff indeed. We need humor to reduce the stress of life.

HA HA Those are great. My favorite is you can have an oxygen mask but you need to pay $15 to activate it.

Crashes are usually sad events in the aviation world, but for the Concorde, it was devastating because it was the first SST crash. The sad thing is that there is no conclusive evidence of the cause of the crash 10 years later.

I remember that Concorde crash too. I was working for a stock broker at the time of the incident. The brokerage firm thought that the crash would be a major market mover. Lots of wealthy people and high profile businessmen used to travel on that. The theory was that if a company’s CEO was on that plane when it crashed, then it could be really bad news for that company. Sell their stock short and make a profit.

Yes! 10 years already. Now, how lucky are you to have a Concorde permanently displayed in your backyard?

It is really hard to believe it has been ten years already since the Concorde crashed. The plane might have been uneconomical and uncomfortable, but an amazing aircraft. I just feel lucky to have one in my home town at the Museum of Flight, which it will stay restored!

Thanks for the offer Ileane, I’d love to keep this conversation alive as we learn more about the sun’s behavior. This is pretty new stuff to me, but we’ve all got to keep this subject at the forefront given the impending massive storm in 2012-13.
