The Honorary Nonsense 7277 Sideswipe Where's Cruiser Thread

and Pan Am Space Clipper

And Pan Cat? Largest hovercat fleet worldwide....

They just passed a bill to keep the small & medium towers open, which is very good news for small carriers here in the US.

There's an airline to Cincinnati that flies out of Morristown.

Frontier recently started flights out of trenton mercer. The first commercial carrier to do such in years. I really wish they would extend the wires a bit and put a station in for the airport. That would be amazing.

Here's some good nonsense from up here in MA. Someone tried to surf a redline subway train by riding on the roof.
I'll get the link to the story shortly

There's a really cool video on YouTube showing a guy, in Europe someplace, train surfing. Pretty intense.....

That was a man who had terminal cancer and made it a personal mission to ride on the back of the fastest ICE routes, and he used specialized equipment to do it safely.

Not the one I saw. It was two college kids, with no equipment at all.

We have had college kids up here in Boston riding on the couplers of a green line trolley before. I just never expected it to happen on a red line train.

We had one kid down in this area, I believe from Queens or so, who thought it would be a good idea to open up the emergency hatch on a double decker party bus and stick his head into the breeze.. unfortunately, a highway overpass was waiting for him.. head stuck out a 50 or 60 mile an hour party bus into the underside of a highway overpass, don't need to tell you how that one ended.

Not even Advil would stop that headache, that's for sure....

Believe me, there wasn't a headache to stop in the first place, because it killed him.

That's bad, did he even see the bridge?

Probably not. Visibility forward from the roof line of those buses is very poor especially when a road dips to go under a bridge.
