Streets of Fire

Some things written by Jeff Kelley, a man in Richmond, Va. He likes aircraft carriers but doesn't really know the intricacies of them (weight, length, etc.)

Special Delivery!

I love the concept - or rather, the terminology - of a company such as Boeing “delivering” a new airplane as if it was a UPS package. How does one go about delivering a 787 Dreamliner, anyway? Must be a pretty custom box size. And I bet the shipping fees are outrageous.
