The Life and Times of a House Husband.....what is this blog about you may wonder? I'm just spouting stuff that comes to mind. Its really just a place to type something not on facebook. You know that place where the rest of the internet goes... Musings on airplanes, racing, hockey, and a bunch of other stuff. Most images are gathered from sites around the web except for the hockey pix which are taken by me.

US NAVY Boeing 737 Based Poseidon P8-A Takes Flight
On Saturday April 25th the First Flight of the Boeing 737-800 Based US NAVY Poseidon P8-A Submarine Hunter took its first flight. These photos depict the moments and are from Flightblogger. Look closely and several things become noticeable. All the various antennae and the raked wing-tips from the 737-900ER. These are neat planes. I also have a photo of the 2nd plane which has been painted in its final US NAVY colors. Once in service these sub hunters will become a huge part of our defense system. The inside contains so much top secret stuff. In any case check t out. If you reside in a sub it will soon be checking YOU out.
