The Ocean,
the beginning and the end.
♥
I wonder who will be coming to pick us up.
This big boy from San Diego?
It has a wonderful wing. Its hull is from a flying boat.
It can’t land here. Just casing the place, I suppose.
♥
The biggest one built in Germany, in Bremen, during the war. It might be able to land here.
Rumor had it that Der Führer was planning to escape with it to Argentina.
I bet its designer, Dr. Vogt, never thought he would end up close by here, in Santa Barbara.
♥
The best one ever built.
It conquered the Pacific
♥
As Boeing knows: never underestimate the French
♥
This one is retired now in Oregon.
Pity it never really flew.
♥
This one still flies.
May it outlive us all.
Au Revoir!
