My wife spotted this Lodge Mickey Mouse cast iron gem pan on Facebook Marketplace. I don’t think it was ever used. I did a quick seasoning with Crisco then made corn bread. Turned out nice! I’ll probably try brownies or cake next. °o° #castiron #dissky #disney

“2 minutes of stoppage is added by the referees… Stoppage Time is brought to you by the Louisville Mohamad Ali International Airport!” Wonderful irony that DELAYS are sponsored by the airport. 🤣✈️

The future of Parton’s Imagination Library has become uncertain due to the quiet machinations of Republicans in the Midwest that have sought to unravel public funding for the cause. trib.al/Z9f1GpD

So many posts about Dolly already. I don’t have much to add, other than I am truly saddened. In a world full of Trumps, Putins, and Musks…. Be like Dolly. We need more Dollys.

Douglas DC-8 Advertisement "Look Up to the DC8" . Donated by @aerosavvy.com . #dc8 #Aviation #Advertisement #Avgeek #Travel
Vintage Douglas Aircraft Company advertisement promoting the Douglas DC-8 jetliner. The page is divided into two distinct sections. The upper half features an illustration of a Douglas DC-8 in flight against a plain white background, while the lower half is dominated by a dramatic deep-blue photograph of a star-filled night sky, reinforcing the advertisement's theme of reaching toward the heavens.

At the top, a side-profile illustration shows an early-production Douglas DC-8 flying from left to right. The aircraft wears the Douglas factory demonstration livery, consisting of a white fuselage with thin red, white, and blue cheatlines running the length of the cabin windows. The word "Douglas" is printed in large letters along the fuselage, while "DC-8" and the manufacturer's logo appear on the vertical tail. All four turbojet engines are mounted beneath the swept wings, clearly emphasizing the aircraft's long-range, four-engine design.

Centered beneath the aircraft is the large promotional headline "Look up to the DC-8," with "DC-8" printed in oversized outlined lettering. A smaller subtitle reads "World's Most Modern Jetliner—Built by Douglas."

Several columns of advertising copy describe the DC-8 as the newest star of the jet age, emphasizing passenger comfort, speed, and engineering innovations. The text highlights Douglas-designed reclining seats intended for passenger relaxation and notes that the aircraft can carry travelers to their destinations at nearly 600 miles per hour. The advertisement encourages readers to "look up to the Douglas DC-8."

A separate column on the right lists airlines that had already ordered the DC-8, including Alitalia, Delta Air Lines, Eastern Air Lines, Japan Air Lines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, National Airlines, Northwest Orient Airlines, Olympic Airways, Panagra, Panair do Brasil, Pan American World Airways, SAS Scandinavian Airlines System, Swissair, Trans-Canada Air Lines, Trans Caribbean Airways, Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux, Union Aéromaritime de Transport, and United Air Lines, underscoring the aircraft's worldwide acceptance.

The bottom half of the advertisement is filled by a vivid photograph of the night sky, showing countless stars and the bright, cloud-like band of the Milky Way stretching diagonally across the image in shades of blue and white. A caption above the photograph reads, "Stars seem almost within reach from the upper sky—Kingdom of the DC-8!"

Another slow day at #OSH26. Visibility 2mi & haze (smoke). Field is IFR; tower is not granting Special VFR requests. It’s just too hard for transient pilots to safely navigate & land VFR. So, IFR ops only. Crowd is patiently waiting for the handful of IFR inbounds to land.
Current weather at OSH. 2 miles, clear, with hazeFlight line with a few dozen spectators patiently waiting for anything to land.
