I came upon a strange sight in my neighborhood recently. It was the front third of a Boeing 727 on a tractor trailer! It seems the new owner planned to put it in his back yard and turn it into an addition to his house. Apparently the city has no issue with it as he will build an enclosure over it so it appears as an extension of the house. Check out the attachments to see picurures of the event. I believe this is a good candidate for a future EXTREME HOMES show on HGTV. Sorry the picures are so big. I don’t know how to make them smaller.

Most people around here use Irfan...a free app. Google on to 'Irfanview' - it's not just free, but quite adaptable and useful!
Have fun...
All the best...
To those who know - this may be obvious. To those who don't - I hope I've helped.
So that's how the airlines plan to get out of the red...? I think it will be a while before I fly again.
