What the hell is up with PNWers?

Yeah, because we were too busy building PLANES. We were in a fucking hurry, none of this 25mph bullshit.

You can have your Kansas built C-172, ill take a Seattle built 747 anyday.

That crazy in the LA area was reported to LA ATC one of the busiest corridors in flying. Lucky he lived.

Beechcraft, Cessna, Garman. Boy, you really are grasping.

I rode in a Cessna a couple times, and I wager I could do nearly as good with a lawn chair and some ballons.

wait, do you mean to tell me that a plane that you can buy for 50 grand isn't the most baller shit ever?

those three are just the tip of the iceberg. and I for one have never been in a plane that didn't have something made by garmin in it, and I pretty much grew up on an airport.

Wichita ranks first in the world in production of general aviation aircraft and is also an important centre for military aircraft manufacture.
Learjet, now owned by Bombardier, Beech Aircraft, now owned by Hawker, and Cessna, now a Textron company, remains in Wichita because of their large manufacturing equipment investments and a skilled labor pool. About two-thirds of Wichita's manufacuturing base is made up of airplane building, employing about 44,000 people.

YOURE REALLY PUSHING YOUR LUCK MOTHER FUCKER
"gods country" is registered and to be used only in reference to wayzata minnesota.

sure "little "g" little "c" may be registered, but mine IS CAPITALIZED. What kind of correspondence school lawyers do you have working at Biscus and Biscus, P.L.L., Attorneys at Law, anyway?

[blunttech]

IIRC, those boys who invented the plane were from Ohio, no?

Boeing realized that being in Gods Country in the Midwest was much better than being in that rainy shithole that is the PNW. ;)

Actually, I think that cheap Kansas labor, huge IL tax breaks given them, and proximity to all of the major buyers (United in Chicago, AA in Dallas, Delta in Cincy and ATL, UPS in Louisville, FedEx in Memphis, Northwest in Minneapolis) is what sealed the deal.

Umm, no it doesn't.

Josh, can we assume that the drugs of choice in Bend are hallucinogens instead of the usual Meth/Crack/Heroin?

what did that one guy's friend die of in Portland?

don't some of the moderators here blaze the sticky icky in PNW? I would figure smoking a lot of pot would make you ponder what a lawn chair balloon ride would be like.

but pot smokers usually aren't leaders of business. oh wait, he was a gas station owner... then yeah, nvm, it makes sense now

[assoutE12]

ever heard of Beechcraft or Cessna? yea, both are baised in Witchita Kansas, known as the world capital of aviation.

ever heard of Garman? maker of the best GPS's and all sorts of other aviation related shit, they are based in kansas city.

[Ryan Stewart]

Yeah, because boeing pioneered the airplane.

[Kruzen]

Yeah, because we were too busy building PLANES. We were in a fucking hurry, none of this 25mph bullshit.

Where was boeing headquarters at until they moved it to chicago? It escapes me now, perhaps you could remind me.

[LINUS]

Where did Boeing get its' start again?? I just can't quite seem to remember.

And yes, I'm well aware of Kansas Boeing plant.

[Ryan Stewart]

I don't see anyone from kansas doing it, waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

Except someone did it 20 years ago, per the article.

Looks like a good time - I have a little time on my hands, I might have to get ahold of that guy.

There's a lot dumber hobbies.
