Dude first of all, it appears you don't understand sarcasm. Second you mixed Spanish, Portuguese, Italian into some unintelligible gibberish. Third, you either meant 'farce' as you can bullsh*t or you misspelled 'Farsi' the Persian dialect. Fourth, be nice. Thank you

I knew Brent since the Academy days. I remember him studying for his boat captain's license when he was CA reserve in DTW when we were swirling the drain. It sure sounded like he was having the time of his life doing the fishing charter stuff in the Keys. I'll miss not being able to swing by and bug him on my hovercraft when I do my Intracoastal adventure. Fair Winds & Following Seas, Brent.

Hovers from the James Bond movie and lots of others are there, too.

The US has an Avro Air-Car at the Wright-Patterson AF Museum in the Annex, and the 1st US hover, the Bertelson Aeromobile at the Smithsonian. A couple SK-5's, the Army/Navy Vienam PAC-V (patrol air cushion vehicle) gunboats are at the Army Transportation Museum in Ft. Eustis, VA, and the Bellingham International Maritime Museum, Bellingham, WA.

Part of my post-Comair tenure has been spent building hovers and training pilots up in WA at:
