Happy Holidays to you two....

RADAR ? ... You had radar in your Shorts ? Wimps !
I bet it was even that COLOR radar, not the monochrome one.
The Shorts is the only turbine wide body that cannot outrun a line of T-storms. Couldn't top them either ... Didn't carry much ice very well either ... Wasn't very quiet ... wasn't very warm in the winter ... wasn't very cool in the summer ...
BUT it did have a lav and a galley with a soda cart. Did yours have a blender ?
Fond memories indeed ... not to be forgotten !
Happy New Year back at you !
Later, Brown CC
