Notneimanmarcus - Seriously Though. It Isn't.

From the coldest cold to the hottest hot, here’s all the universe’s temperatures.

Bonus question: What is hotter, a boiling tea kettle or an iceberg?

This is what I thought about 98.7 until I started listening to it daily a few weeks ago.  The other day I heard the same song twice, once coming home and once coming to school. I live TEN MINUTES away.  Although the lack of nuance is quite dissatisfying at times, it's still miles better than most of the other stations.

Day 17: A Song You Hear Often on the Radio.

Well I’m weird because i almost never listen to the radio, first of all, and second of all, I listen to 98.7 which is like 60s, 70s, 80s music and I’ve never heard the same song played twice.  so.  Yeah.

This Day in Aviation History

August 22nd, 1952

First flight of the Saunders-Roe Princess flying boat.

The Saunders-Roe SR.45 Princess was a British flying boat aircraft built by Saunders-Roe, based in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. The Princess was the largest all-metal flying boat ever constructed.

The project was cancelled after having produced only three examples. By the 1950s, large, commercial flying boats were being overshadowed by land-based aircraft. Factors such as runway and airport improvements added to the viability of land-based aircraft, which did not have the weight and drag of the boat hulls on seaplanes nor the issues with seawater corrosion.

The three airframes were stored against possible purchase but when an offer was made it was found that corrosion had set in; as a result they were scrapped….
