Situation normal: all screwed up and getting worse too damn fast. . . .

I feel starry-eyed and vaguely discontented,
Like a nightingale without a song to sing.
I'd say that I have Spring fever,
But it isn't even sp. . . . . .
Well, we're almost there! :)

bIt's been a productive day despite spending more than a FRUSTRATING hour trying to copy pictures onto a portable hard disk for an American Aviation Historical Association friend Hayden Hamilton. My "computer B" has hit a major snag and I will have to run it over to Hyperion to untangle my thread of ineptitude. Pictured here are SAR 2006 performers Terry Calloway & The Red Stars,
flying Nanchang CJ-6s and Yakovlev Yak 52s, Lima Lima Flight Team and their Four Beech T-34 Mentors, and U.S. Jet Team flying French-manufactured Fouga Magisters painted in the colors of the French Air Force demonstration team. I was privileged to ride back seat in the lead aircraft during SAR's media preview day. I'll post some pics from my flight in a few days. When not warming my desk chair, I am slowly rearranging the unshepherded CLUTTER here to suggest a better organized collection on the heels of that harem-scarem YEAR of 2001 and this far into 02. I can tolerate more disarray than visitors are liable to consider "rampant desolation."
I am also s l o w l y doing the same thing with the plastic model building workshop room. I truly PREFER a neater house, and since I'm no longer employed, I have the time to make things nicer, not only to satisfy visiting goodpeople. . . but to satisfy myself.
Keep your sunny side UP!

Dan Buchanan flew powered flying machines before he lost the use of his legs in a skiing accident. Remarkably he's back flying at air shows after transitioning from conventional wings to performing with a hang glider with colorful smoke tracing his performance. I will try to post more pictures of his awesome talent ABOVE this post.

I've decided that now is the day for AeroKnow Museum to rise from the quagmire of depression and lost resolution and begin ANEW to regularly post about what is happening here relating to aviation history and model making. Earlier today I was working on the photo collection's index and came across a CD ROM I had had processed at a nearby Walgreen's (drug store) in 2006, the last year of Springfield, Illinois' Air Rendezvous. The entire CD featured photos of performers in flignt. (Many more from that occasion are still in process.) Look for something new every two or three days, and if you like (A LOT) what you see consider supporting this enterprise. If you can locate Job Conger and my address via a computer search, you will know where to direct your positive regard. I just discovered I cannot add pictures to this post. If I try again without success, I will post them, three or four at a time, at my personal Facebook site and let you know new photos have been posted here. Thanks for dropping by. Keep your sunny side up.
FIRST POST PICTURES WERE TAKEN AT THE LAST SPRINGFIELD AIR RENDEZVOUS, JUNE 24 & 25, 2006

After most of a year of dealing with a heapin' helpin' of medical distresses, I'm beginning to pay due attention to AeroKnow Museum and remove/cancel/delete posts forthwith encountered that are not connected to aviation history and the machinations of what I'm doing to preserve and share it. I will continue to support people and causes not related to history (Yes, Buzz Aldrin is history) at my Job Conger page. Best wishes to all for a reverent and pleasant Thanksgiving.
