Actually, I just wanted a sound clip of the modded exhaust cans. Yeah, that's it.

I think my wife may have seen the clip. She said something like, "Is that anyone we know?".

So.......can the rest of us that missed the clip get another chance??

I posted the video on my Facebook yesterday. It is still up there although you may need a Facebook account to view it.

Default I hate it when this happens...

Hangar A at the Dulles Jet Center collapsed on four business jets. I'm guessing around $160M worth of jets with their noses in the air. According to one website, one of these jets is only two months old. The building was apparently pretty new, built in 2006. It will be interesting to see if it was a construction failure or just not designed for a high enough roof load. Maybe a combination of a lot of snow build up on the roof, then a high wind to shift it just far enough.
