I got to take a look at the PBY on the seaplane base this past weekend. Pretty cool stuff. I enjoyed my pilgrimage to the Pacific Northwest. Now that I'm back to swampass Jax, I really miss it. Minus all the hippies, the place is awesome.
The taxpayers are straining under the perdiem costs for this evolution.
I think this is the picture in the dictionary alongside the definition of "boondoggle."
