Attack of the Giant Ships

Here's a *pointed* question: do any of y'all want super-big scans of the Warbirds poster?

They closed Texas due to ice, so I scanned it at 600 DPI.

i wouldn't mind get a super big version of the poster

They closed down U of T due to ice? Nice!

I remember when they did that back in '03. Me and my roommate just hung around in our apartment and made pancakes.

Hehe, yeah, closed for ice at 2 PM today. There was a huge panic -- if there's one thing Texans just can't deal with, it's ice.

I was in the HRC -- we heard at 1:55 or so and everybody just abandoned their million dollar rare manuscripts and rushed out of the building.

Nice. I like...I like a lot. I wish the places around here would close more often though.

I wonder what Concordia is gonna do. I've got a final at nine tomorrow. I'm not looking foward to that.

She was a hell of a ship.

UT is closed until 10 AM... but the professor for my 9:30 class already e-mailed to tell us to come anyway.

Stupid universe.

Hehe, Spartan College of Aeronautics here in Tulsa doesn't give us a break. If there's ice on the runway, we'll just have to make do. If we put the Cessna in the grass, it's a "learning experience" .

35 is closed. My college is crazy. Nothing cancelled.

It's cooooold in Texas today.

https://www.wcnews.com/loaf/warbirds/ -- 5 megabyte jpegs. I have some 25 megabyte PNGs of each one stored locally, if jpegs aren't enough for anyone.

No ice here. Ever. I hate living in the tropics. It is too freaking hot.

We can switch places if you want: it was -20°C here this morning And winter's just begining.

Here in North Carolina , it sleeted for five minutes over night ,

This is the color version of Warbirds, in case anyone didn't want to load a five meg jpeg to find out.

Yes, and to top it all off, there's an added attraction: Ice Storms!
That's when freezing rain creates inches and inches of slippery ice on everything, destroying power lines and trees all over.
