Paris Air Show - My poor career choice finally catches up with me

I like what I do for a living, I really do, but there are days when being buried neck deep in flashing lights and bits that bite in buildings without windows and security guards that check you every single time you go through a door - every-single-time..., and it starts to make you think that maybe you shouldda done something else for a living.

Like something in aviation. Yeah, that would be great!

I love aircraft, I love to fly, hell I like just being at the airport even if I dont have anywhere to go. But what did I choose to do with my life? thats right, move bits of magnetism around inside machines and call it "logic". What was I thinking? I have no idea...

So I'm out on my break from that adventure and catching a bit of the Paris Air Show coverage when one of the blogs posts a picture of the, ahem, scenery.

I dont know what they are selling at an airshow, but I know I want alot of it. Tell Al Gore that I've found the source of 'Global Warming', its blue and it has six legs, six arms, eyes and uh, yeah you get the idea, and if getting rid of Global Warming means we will have to live with less of this and more of people dressed like the Amish, well then, we can just rename the planet from "Earth" to "Hades" as far as I'm concerned and be done with it. I live in a desert, I like it hot. I've "adapted" to the new reality.

Anyway, while I'm out looking for my high school career guidance councilors phone number, take a read of the best "Paris Air Show" coverage from the Weekly Standard at this site.

It looks like its off to a good start, the Russians havent started distributing MIG parts over the airfield yet, but its sill early...
